Buckeye Gets into Politics

with strings of buckeyes.
Buckeye Gets into Politics
Floats carrying buckeye log cabins
were in every political parade and
the buckeye found its place in song
Stage coach passengers along the Old
National Trail, over which most OF
traffic of the time passed, bought
buckeyes for souvenirs.
Men and boys around GAINESVILLE
went into the forest and brought out
bundles of buckeyeI sticks which they
made into canes and wands to be
sold to travellers. Old newspaper ac-
counts said they made much money
at it.
AS the years passed the buckeye
came into its own. Half century
after Harrison's campaign Ohio had
population of more than 100000
and much of the states industry was
named for the buckeye. There were
Buckeye rolling mills, Buckeye min
ing companies, Buckeye furnaces,
gas and oil corporations, stock farms,
hotels and theatres. Ohioans rode in
Buckeye buggies, used Buckeye
churns, farmed with Buckeye imple-
ments and bought merchandise of all
kinds named after the states emblem
tree.
The belief of most persons that
Ohio was named the Buckeye State
because of the great number of buck
eye trees in it falls far short of be-
ing the real reason. Buckeye trees
also grew plentifully in Indiana, Ken
lucky and in parts of West Virginia.
But in no other places in the world
was the tree known to exist.
Don't Eat Buckeyes
The buckeye tree is a part of the
horse chestnut family. It's nut is
poisonous and was of value only to
the Indians. They ground the bark
and made medicine out of it. Thought
by them to be useful as an emltlc,
the medicine often brought dire re-
suits to the patient.
Both Indians and white settlers
crushed the kernel of the buckeye
nut and used it as substitute for
soap when grease and lye was hard
to obtain.
From buckeye trees the pioneers
built their homes. From the thick
trunks of the trees boards were hewn
to make homemade furniture. 1t
was from buckeye wood that the hol-
lowed-out kitchen utensils of pioneer
days were made, and from the tree
spouts to drain syrup from the sugar
trees were fashioned.
Many native son, who afterwards
rose to distinction was rocked in a
buckeye cradle, ate from buckeye
platters and wore hats fashioned
from the fabric of the sturdy emb-
lem of their own great state.

Cabins Hurriedly Built

Ihe cabins were hurr1edly built and
there was scarcity of labor. The
pioneers had little time or facility
for repairing axe blades that became
damaged when they bit into hard
timber.
As children came and grew they
played in the shelter of the buckeye
trees. There the girls built their play
houses and the boys ambushed imag-
mary injuns from behind the trunks
The spreading buckeye boughs gave
the parents shade in which to rest
between clearings and paintings.
When the Indians noticed the ap-
parent fondness of the white families
for the buckeyes, they called them
"hetuck"-the Indian word for buck
eye. They already named the tree
because of the singular similarity of
its nut to the eye of the buck deer.
1t was a parade that changed the
nickname from one of contempt to a
term of admiration. Pomp and cere-
mony were innate characteristics of
every Indian and the sight of so
much splendor among the white men
impressed the redskins greatly.
/. First Court i'm Marietta
The occasion was the opening of
the first court in the Northwest Ter
ritory at Marietta in the fall of 1888
Bands of Indians representing sew
eral tribes had come to Marietta to
make a treaty with the settlers
While they waited idly at the edge
of the clearing the parade came up
the newly made pathway on its way
to the log courthouse.
Nearly everybody in the settlement
was in that parade; officers of the
garrison at Ft. Harmar, tho supreme
Judge and members of the bar, the
governor and his staff, the newly ap-
pointed judges of the Court of Com
mon Pleas, and finally, the clergy
and settlers. The procession was
headed by the high sheriff.
Much impressed by the stately
bearing and commanding appearance
of the oversize sheriff, resplendent
in brass buttons and with drawn
sword, the Indians showed their ap-
proval by shouts of big Buckeye!"
1t no longer was a name of derision.
Buckeye Fame Spreads
During subsequent decades the
fame of the buckeye spread. When
new settlers arrived at the clearings
they asked to see the buckeye and
insisted on settling where the trees
grew thickly. The pioneers believed
that where the buckeye trees were
most abundant the soil was richer.
The fame of the buckeye spread
throughout the nation during the
campaign of General William Henry
Harrison for the presidency in 1910.
Newspapers opposing Harrison de-
clared that he was "better fitted to
sit in log cabin and drink hard ci-
der than to rule in the White House" !"
Harrison's party turned the remark
into a slogan and Harrison became
the LOG Cabin Candidate"
He was pictured in cartoons as
sitting in the door of buckeye log
cabin, inside of which could be seen
a barrel of cider and walls, hung

Why The Buckeye
State?

1t was the frailty of pioneer axe
blades and the apparent proclivity of
early settlers to loll in the shade that
made Ohio the Buckeye State and all
Ohioans Buckeyes.
The nickname first was one of de-
rision and was given to the settlers
by Delaware Indians shortly after
the first log cabins had been built at
Adelphia, now Marietta, in 1888.
The Ohioans always built their
cabins out of buckeye tree trunks.
The wood was light and soft and of
fered little resistance to the easily
dulled axe blades. And of all the
trees in the forest, the buckeye gave
best protection against Indian rifle
bullets.
