Introduction:"Long before the land-hungry Anglo-Saxon feasted his eyes on the fair country of the Great Miami, it was held in high favor by wandering tribes of Northern Indians. Later, pale-faced hunter and aborigine engaged in a fierce war of extermination for the possession of the Ohio country by the resistless march of the permanent settler.
For more than a century the process of empire building has advanced with marvelous rapidity in the Great Northwest Territory. The rich alluvial plains of Mad River were almost the first in the vast wilderness to the north of the "Beautiful River" to attract the tide of immigration which, until then, had been held in check by the mighty barrier of the Alleghenies."
