Scioto Sketches: An Account of Discovery and Settlement of Scioto County, Ohio

Description: This book tells the fascinating story of the exploration and early settlement of a specific region in Ohio. The author takes us back to the early days of European contact with the Ohio Valley, a land populated by diverse and powerful Native American tribes. We encounter French explorers seeking to claim the land for their king, British traders vying for influence with the tribes, and the Shawnee, a formidable force resisting encroachment on their territory. The book delves into the intricate relationships between these groups, the clashes of cultures, and the struggles for control over the land. We learn how the Scioto River played a crucial role in shaping the region's history, serving as both a trade route and a battleground.
