by James H. O'Donnell III. Softbound, 176 pages, 6" x 9". This book depicts the Native Americans of the Buckeye State from the time of the ancient Adena and Hopewell peoples to the forced removal of the Wyandots in the 1840's. Concentrating on their saga of confrontation with European settlers, the author provides an overview of the movements of Fort Ancient peoples driven out by economic and political forces in the 17th century. The story then turns to the Wyandot, Shawnee and Delaware peoples, who were lured to Ohio by its plentiful game and fertile farmlands. In commemoration of the bicentennial of Ohio, Ohio's First Peoples recounts their story and documents their contribution to Ohio's full heritage.
