Description: This 60-page volume starts with a sympathetic look at the Indians in the region up to about 1790, then narrates some of the military history. The last 10 pages recounts the history after 1815, when the wars with the Indians and the British had ended, and mostly consists of extended quotes from a Major Stickney, who provides background on the altercation between Ohio and Michigan over the border between the two. It was Major Stickney’s son, Two Stickney, who shed the only blood in the Toledo War when he stabbed a Michigan militia officer as the officer tried to arrest him.
