The Other Trail of Tears: The Removal of the Ohio Indians
it was amazing
I got this as a digital library book and loved every bit of it. It is an easy read and fills in the huge 30 something year gap in history regarding what happened between the end of the War of 1812 and how the Ohio Indians moved across th...

The Victory with No Name: The Native American Defeat of the First American Army
it was amazing
I was excited to see a new book on one of my favorite periods of US history. I've read many accounts of this battle and events which were included in other books, as well as "Wabash 1791: St Clair's defeat" by John Winkler that came out ...

That Dark and Bloody River
it was amazing
I have read other Eckert books but I will admit I put this one off because of its size. It is a great book packed with much information told in an entertaining way. You really should read all the notes that enhance the story. Some of the...

Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President
it was amazing
Quite easily the best historical bio I've ever read. The author should be proud. I think that even a person not interested or one who doesn't read historical material would enjoy this as it reads like an exciting novel. Candice Miller re...

Panther in the Sky
it was amazing
Easily one the the finest accounts of the Shawnee leaders life and struggle. I walked away from the book with a greater sense and understanding of this time period and the other players such as Open Door (his brother The Prophet) Star Wa...

The Shawnee Prophet
really liked it
I put off reading this book because I too bought into the folk hero status of Tenskwatawa's more famous brother Tecumseh. However, it is wonderfully sourced and he makes an excellent case that The Prophet was the first major leader of wh...

WPA Guide to Cincinnati [reprint of Cincinnati, A Guide to the Queen City and its Neighbors, 1943]
really liked it
This is a 1987 reprint of a book from 1943. I got lucky and found a new paperback copy on clearance at the Cincinnati Museum Center for $4. While many items in this book are out of date, long gone or long forgotten, I kept this book in m...

The Frontiersmen
really liked it
So many people told me to read this book. I'll admit that I did not want to like it despite the subject being right in line with my interests. I was a pretty hardened, "just the facts" kind of person when it came to history and the notio...

Mr. Jefferson's Hammer: William Henry Harrison and the Origins of American Indian Policy
really liked it
Maybe someday we will get a modern A-Z book on William Henry Harrison. Detailed information on Harrison is hard to come by unless you go to the older puff pieces that were written shortly after he died. He doesn't get the full Presidenti...
