Lets Take A Trip To - Fort Recovery, Ohio
Hello there Gilson Tractors Its Gilsons12 here. A little village in Mercer County OH with a lot of history behind it.
The fort begun in late 1793 and completed in March 1794 under orders by General Mad Anthony Wayne. It was located on the site of the present-day village of Fort Recovery, Ohio, United States, on the Wabash River within two miles of the boundary with Indiana.
On 30 June 1794, a supply column left Fort Recovery for Fort Greenville, under the command of Major William McMahon and escorted by ninety riflemen under Captain Asa Hartshome and fifty dragoons under Lieutenant Edmund Taylor. It had only gone about a quarter mile when it was attacked by Indians led by Blue Jacket, including a young Tecumseh.[2] The dragoons cut a retreat back to the fort, losing thirty-two killed (including Captain Hartshome and Cornet Daniel Torrey) and thirty wounded, and inflicting an unknown number of casualties on their attackers.
During the night, a scouting company under Captain William Wells reported that there were British officers behind the Indian lines, and that they had brought powder and cannonballs, but no cannons. The Indians were looking for U.S. cannons that had been buried after St. Clair's Defeat, not knowing that they had already been recovered by the Legion of the United States. The next day, 1 July 1794, the Indians forces attacked the fort again, but they began to withdraw by noon, and they were gone by nightfall.
The monument, in the form of an obelisk, was built in 1912 and dedicated on July 1, 1913. The obelisk stands at 101', 4 tall. It weighs approximately 800 tons and cost $23,700 to build. Today that monument is part of a historical landmark known as Fort Recovery State Memorial that is maintained by the Ohio Historical Society. Visitors can enjoy touring a replica of Wayne's fort with two reconstructed blockhouses with a connecting stockade.
Cannonballs left over from Fort Recovery, now seen at the replica. Cannonballs can also be found around the village in many locations, including private property.
The Fort Recovery State Museum, opened in 1938, features life-size dioramas of fort soldiers and Indians of the period. Exhibits explain Wayne's campaign and include military and Indian artifacts, uniforms, weapons, paintings and maps. The museum features a gift shop and offers programs for school groups.
New Discoveries at Fort Recovery
This video was taken and edited by the Ohio Historical Society during Ball State University's field school, which was a part of the 2010 American Battlefields Preservation Program (ABPP) grant at Fort Recovery.
On November 4th, 1791, a coalition of American Indian tribes led by the Miami Chief Little Turtle and the Shawnee Chief Blue Jacket defeated the army of Gen. Arthur St. Clair at the site of the modern city of Fort Recovery. Two years later, another American army led by Gen. Anthony Wayne returned to the site and built a fort that became a key base for his eventual victory over the Indians of the Ohio Country. In 2011, a team of archaeologists from Ball State University began to search for traces of these historic conflicts that might be preserved beneath and between the yards and back alleys of the modern city of Fort Recovery.
Fort Recovery - 1791/1794 wars and Treaty of Greenville
Treaty of Greenville - Indian Wars
The treaty established what became known as the Greenville Treaty Line, which was for several years a boundary between Native American territory and lands open to white settlers, although the treaty line was frequently disregarded by settlers as they continued to encroach on native lands guaranteed by the treaty. The treaty line began at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River in present-day Cleveland and ran south along the river to the portage between the Cuyahoga and Tuscarawas River in what is now known as the Portage Lakes area between Akron and Canton. The line continued down the Tuscarawas to Fort Laurens near present-day Bolivar. From there, the line ran west-southwest to near present-day Fort Loramie on a branch of the Great Miami River. From there, the line ran west-northwest to Fort Recovery, on the Wabash River near the present-day boundary between Ohio and Indiana.
Information on Blue Jacket -DNA test using updated equipment and techniques was published in the September 2006 edition of The Ohio Journal of Science.

There was a disadvantage of the weak minorities - at the time of the treaties so many Indians did not understand the laws that were in place. (at least this is my belief).

Ohio Valley Native American Earthwork Sites and New Discoveries through Remote Sensing.
Then and Now: Archaeology, History and Preservation in the Mountain State Region
Ohio Valley Native American Earthwork Sites and New Discoveries through Remote Sensing.
Jarrod Burks, Ph.D. Ohio Valley Archaeology, Inc.
The Ohio Valley is renowned for its Native American earthwork sites, which were built between about 300 B.C and A.D. 400. These sites consist of earthen enclosures in the shapes of circles, squares, octagons, and other forms that enclosed spaces ranging from 50 feet to 1,300 feet across. The biggest sites had miles of earthen embankments and enormous mounds. It's believed these earthwork sites were the ceremonial centers for communities of people who lived in the surrounding area, and they were also used for burying the dead in many cases. In this presentation we learn about what earthwork sites consist of and how they have been studied in the past. We then explore some new and exciting findings from a selection of sites where remote sensing instruments have detected a wide range of features, from large pits filled with bright orange burned dirt to the remains of large wooden post circles, to entirely unknown earthwork complexes- there is much yet to discover about earthworks in the Ohio Valley.

The Battle of Fallen Timbers
This video has been in the making for almost a year. I was going to wait until the anniversary date of the battle to upload it, but decided against that idea in case someone wanted to visit the site on that particular (or peculiar) date. IF YOU DO...PLEASE appreciate AND respect the privilege of being allowed to visit such an important battle site. And remember to STAY ON THE PATH. Thank you so much for your co-operation and enjoy the video. - The Admins
Battle Of Fallen Timbers
The Battle Of Fallen Timbers was a decisive victory for the fledgling United States. Not only did it open up Ohio to continued settlement, but paved the way for The United States further settlement of the North West Territory.
I know the audio if jankie in a few areas, but hey I'm a student, not a film editor.

Ice in the Wabash River at Lafayette, Indiana 2014 (Ouabache River) Waapaahsikki
The name Wabash is an English spelling of the French name for the river, Ouabache. French traders named the river after the Miami Indian word for the river, waapaahšiiki, meaning it shines white, pure white, or water over white stones. The Miami name reflected the clarity of the river in Huntington County, Indiana where the river bottom is limestone.
The Wabash was first mapped by French explorers to the Mississippi, including the sections now known as the Ohio River. Although the Wabash is today considered a tributary of the Ohio, the Ohio was considered a tributary of the Wabash until the mid-18th century. This is because the French traders traveled north and south from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico via the Wabash; it served as a vital trade route for North American-French trade.
The United States has fought five battles on or near the river; the Battle of Vincennes (1779), St. Clair's Defeat (1791), the Attack on Fort Recovery (1794), the Battle of Tippecanoe (1811), and the Siege of Fort Harrison (1812). Different conflicts have been referred to as the Battle of the Wabash.

U S S Cairo Gunboat and museum , Vicksburg Mississippi National Military Park.
U S S Cairo Gunboat and museum,
Present day USS Cairo showing armor and cannon.
One of seven shallow-draft City Class river ironclads, The U.S.S. Cairo was commissioned in January of 1862. Named after towns along the upper Mississippi and Ohio rivers, the seven formidable City Class gunboats prowled the Mississippi River and connecting shallow waterways, menacing Confederate supply lines and shore batteries.
The Cairo’s career was short, seeing limited action in battles at Plum Point, Tennesee (also known as the battle of Fort Pillow) in May,1862, and Memphis, Tennesee in June, 1862.
The Cairo's skipper, Lt. Commander Thomas O. Selfridge, Jr., was an aggressive and skilled captain. On the cold morning of December 12, 1862, Selfridge led a small flotilla of gunboats into the hazardous confines of the Yazoo River. Tasked with destroying Confederate batteries and clearing the river of torpedoes (underwater mines) the flotilla inched its way up the murky waters. As the Cairo reached a point seven miles north of Vicksburg the flotilla came under fire and the aggressive Selfridge ordered his guns to the ready and called for full steam, bringing the ironclad into action. Seconds later, disaster struck. Cairo was rocked by two explosions in quick succession. The first tore and gaping hole into the port (left) bow of the wooden hulled ironclad. The second detonated a moment later near the armored belt amidships on the starboard side. The hole on the bow proved to be catastrophic. As the doomed ironclad took on water, Selfridge ordered the Cairo to be beached and the crew to abandon ship. Within twelve minutes the Cairo slid from the river bank into six fathoms (36 feet) of water without any loss of life.
Over the years the gunboat was forgotten and her resting place was slowly covered by a shroud of silt and mud. Protected by this protective ‘cocoon’, Cairo became a time capsule in which her priceless artifacts were preserved in a largely oxygen-free environment. Her whereabouts became a matter of speculation as members of the crew had died and local residents were unsure of the location.
As the Centennial of the Civil War approached, Edwin C. Bearss, Historian at Vicksburg National Military Park, was able to plot the approximate site of the wreck. Using a pocket compass and probes, Bearss and two companions, Don Jacks and Warren Grabau, set out to solve the mystery. By 1956, they were reasonably convinced they had found the Cairo, but three years lapsed before divers brought up an armored port cover confirming the find. A heavy accumulation of mud, a swift current, and near zero visibility deterred the divers as they explored the submerged gunboat. Local enthusiasm and interest began to grow in 1960 with the recovery of the pilothouse, an 8-inch smoothbore cannon with its wooden carriage and other artifacts. Following financial support from the State of Mississippi, the Warren County Board of Supervisors and funds raised locally, efforts to salvage the gunboat began in earnest.

Hopes of lifting the ironclad and her cargo of artifacts intact were crushed in October of 1964 when the three inch steel lifting cables cut deeply into the Cairo’s fragile wooden hull. A decision was made to recover the Cairo in three sections. By the end of December 1964, the remains were put on barges and towed to Vicksburg. In the summer of 1965, the Cairo was again loaded unto barges and towed to Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. There the armor was removed, cleaned, and stored. The two steam engines were taken apart, cleaned and reassembled. Sections of the hull were braced internally and a sprinkler system was operated continually to keep the white oak timbers from warping and checking. Nevertheless, it was here exposed to the elements and hurricanes, that the Cairo began to deteriorate in earnest.
In 1972, the United States Congress enacted legislation authorizing the National Park Service to accept title to the Cairo and reassemble the remnants for display and preservation in Vicksburg National Military Park. Delays in funding halted progress until June of 1977, when the Cairo was returned to the park and partially reconstructed on a concrete foundation near the Vicksburg National Cemetery. The recovery of artifacts from the Cairo revealed a treasure trove of weapons, munitions, naval stores, and personal property that help tell the story of the sailors that once called the ship home. The gunboat and its artifacts can now be seen along the tour road at the USS. Cairo Museum.
