Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sketch of the History of the City of Dayton
At the commencement of the present century, a few log cabins, on the south bank of the Miami, hemmed in on all sides by the primeval forests, where Indian hunters pursued thelr game as free as do the Camanches on the plains of New Mexico, alone showed the Spot, where now stands one of the most beautiful cities of Ohio. Its rapid growth, in the midst of profound peace and almost unbroken prosperity, is marked by few of those 1nc1 dents which the dignity of history thinks worthy of notice. I propose therefore only, in this very hasty sketch, to rescue from oblivion the memory of a few former incidents, which may ih terest our own citizens, and which, with those who witnessed them, are rapidly being lost to us.
