Description: AUGLAIZE COUNTY, OHIO Early days in Auglaize County and its various communities - Wapakoneta, St. Mary's, New Bremen and Minster - are recalled through a mixture of colorful tales and factual data in this NEW 19 Page Booklet reprinted from the 1892 Centennial edition of Henry Howe's Historical Collections of Ohio and other hard-to-find sources. The spiral-bound booklet is printed one-sided on quality paper, with the print enlarged 10% for easier reading. A sheet of clear vinyl has been added to protect the front cover. Illustrations include a photo by William E. Potter of Wapakoneta in 1887. Among the many fascinating topics covered in the booklet are: the discovery of mastodon specimens; Indian chiefs Blue Jacket and Black Hoof; an Indian football game and other Indian customs; the Society of Friends; Girty's Town; the old hero Gen. August Willich; and a discourse (which gets a bit side-tracked) on the name Wapakoneta. GENEALOGY BUFFS will find a list of 1888 county officers and businesses. A 1933 look at the history of newspapers in the county, and maps showing the 88 Ohio counties and 1805 Ohio are also included, along with excerpts from the WPA's 1940 The Ohio Guide. Wouldn't this make a unique gift?
