Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ohio, Archæological and Historical Publications, Vol. 16 It was not bad usage of the old Romans to bring down from its niche the waxen image of an eminent ancestor on the anniversary of his natal day, to recall his features and achievements to their own minds and impress them upon the younger generation. A like tribute the patriotic citizens of Fremont, Ohio, pay from time to time to their local hero, Major George Croghan, on the anniversary of that notable second of August, 1813, when with his little band of soldiers he defeated a foe overwhelming in numbers under the British General Proctor and the Indian Chief Tecumseh. It was not only a feat of incomparable bravery, but it marked the turning of the tide in the War of 1812, which up to that time had been a series of disasters to the American arms. The first formal observance of the anniversary of Croghan´s Victory occurred in 1839, at which time messages from Croghan himself were received.
