The Story of Early Ohio

Indians, Frontiersmen, Pioneers, Statesmen and Wars

By: C. Stephen Badgley,William Dean Howells

The story of early Ohio from the days of the Mound Builders to the Victorian Age. This is a story of the people who lived in what is now the Great State of Ohio during those times. A story of the Native Americans who were there before the coming of the white settlers and a story of the savage raids and battles fought in the struggle to gain or retain control of this rich, vast territory. A story of the men and women who participated in these events along with the suffering and hardships faced by all in a struggle to keep their home or in their quest to find a better life for themselves and their descendants. In 1897, William Dean Howells, a novelist who was born in Martins Ferry, Ohio, to show the love of his native state and provide people with its history, authored the book “Stories of Ohio”. This book is a wonderful, intriguing look at the history of the Great State of Ohio and those who called it home. Badgley Publishing Company has taken the contents of his book, added more material and illustrations and re-created this historically significant work in an effort to preserve his story and make it available to the public again.

American Football 1921

By: Charles Dudley Daly,C. Stephen Badgley

Smashmouth Football" That term came from the way the game of American Football was coached and played in the end of the 19th Century and the early years of the 20th century. This book was written by Charles Dudley Daly who played Quarterback at Harvard in 1898 to 1900. He then transferred to West Point and played Quarterback there in 1901 and 1902. In 1907 he became an Assistant Coach at Harvard and in 1913 he was hired as the Head Coach at West Point and stayed there until 1922. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951. Coach Daly compared the game of football to war and that's how he played and coached the game. Almost all of the well known, best coaches of the time used basically the same principles in training and game planning as Coach Daly describes in this book. "The defensive line man may take a low position inside his opponent and make a straight charge with one hand on the throat and the other on the face, thus moving the opponent by steering his head. Or he may, in charging, step to the outside, striking a blow on the side of the opponents head." Charles Dudley Daly

Memoirs of the Early Pioneer Settlers of Ohio

By: S. P. Hildreth,C. Stephen Badgley

Under the leadership of Rufus Putnam, 48 men, departed New England during the severe winter of 1787/88 and made their way west through the mountains to Sumrill's Ferry on the Youghiogheny River in Pennsylvania. There they spent the winter building two huge flatboats and three canoes to take them down the Youghiogheny to the Monongahela River and then down the Ohio River to their destination, a point of land at the mouth of the Muskingum River. Here, these pioneers would establish the first settlement in the territory northwest of the Ohio River and name it Marietta. Among these early pioneers, who opened the door to western settlement of the United States, were many heroic men and officers of the American Revolution. George Washington said, "I know many of the settlers personally, and there never were men better calculated to promote the welfare of such a community." General Lafayette, the Frenchman who fought alongside the colonists during their struggle for independence said, "I knew them well. I saw them fighting for their country. They were the bravest of the brave. Better men never lived." This book contains the true stories of these great men and other pioneers who withstood Indian Warfare, starvation, sickness, death and deprivation to establish themselves in the wilderness of the early American frontier and begin the westward expansion of the greatest nation on earth. A great companion book for "Pioneer History" by S. P. Hildreth first published in 1848.

Arcadia

By: C. Stephen Badgley

Arcadia is a story of undying love and paranormal activity set during the tumultuous years of the American Civil War. Two children, Gabriel and Lorena found a very special, mystical place near their homes in the Appalachian hills of southern Ohio and claimed it as their own. They named it Arcadia and at this place, they grew up, fell in love and promised each other that they would be together for eternity. The Civil War separated the two for a while, a long while, but Lorena knew in her heart that someday Gabriel would return and they would once again be as happy as the first day they laid eyes on Arcadia. Some say that Arcadia was a place that God created and preserved for these two individuals. Some say it is a fluke of nature. The families of Gabriel and Lorena experienced strange and wonderful happenings there and they knew that Arcadia was the destiny of Gabriel and Lorena. The story of Gabriel, Lorena and Arcadia became a family story that was passed down generation to generation along with a warning not to interfere with the happenings there. An old man, a descendent who experienced firsthand some of these strange and mysterious events, decides it is time to pass the story on to his family.

A Tragedy of the Sierra

By: C. F. McGlashan,C. Stephen Badgley

A historical reprinting of the 9th edition published in 1907. The Donner Party was a group of American Pioneers who set out for California in a wagon train. Delayed by a series of mishaps, they spent the winter of 1846-47 snowbound in the Sierra Nevada. Some of the emigrants resorted to cannibalism to survive, eating those who had succumbed to starvation and sickness. Historians have described the episode as one of the most spectacular tragedies in Californian history and in the record of western migration.

A Point of Controversy

The Battle of Point Pleasant

By: C. Stephen Badgley

Was the "Shot heard round the World" at Lexington actually an echo from the gently rolling hills around the confluence of the Great Kanawha and Ohio Rivers? Was the Battle of Point Pleasant actually the first battle of the American Revolution? At the beginning of the 20th century, through the tireless efforts of Mrs. Livia Nye Simpson Poffenbarger, the battle site, the monuments and the recognition by congress that this was a "battle of the Revolution" were secured. If it was indeed a battle of the Revolution, then it was the first as it occurred six months before the fight at Lexington. Her adversary on the theory of it being a battle of the Revolution was Virgil Anson Lewis, noted Historian and Archivist for the State of West Virginia and a former proponent of the theory. Both Poffenbarger and Lewis wrote books on this controversial subject and these books are both presented complete in this volume. The author has provided some very interesting, thought provoking facts and speculations for you to consider as you ponder the works of these two adversaries and form your own opinion as to whether this battle was the first of the American Revolution.

American Slavery as it was in 1839

By: Theodore Dwight Weld,C. Badgley

This book was created from the original title "American Slavery as it is in 1839-Testimony of a Thousand Witnesses" written by Theodore Weld. It was the book that inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe to pen her novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and along with that book, helped ignite the flames of the American Civil War. The first hand, eyewitness accounts in this book both shocked and infuriated many people in the northern free states who knew that slavery was bad...but had no idea just how bad it really was. The Abolitionist movement took off and began to grow with increased pressure being put on our government to end this abomination. The southern slave states bitterly opposed any new laws to remove this blight from our country and the end result was Civil War.

Loss Leaves Hollows

By: D. J. Andersen,C. Stephen Badgley

I am not a poet in the traditional sense. I rarely have a rhyme, I don't care about stanzas or acceptable academic style. I am telling stories in short form, in thought patterns that stop. and start. Periods and commas fall where they will, and I let them. I have found it the best way to write about my subject matter without losing my own mind or the reader's. My poems will give but brief glimpses into detailed, often harsh subject matters, such as severe child abuse by adoptive parents, the lost, the unfortunate, the homeless. Others tell about the joyful reunion with biological family, or a crooked Christmas tree, or people I have known, places I have been, and those who have inspired me.

Where the Lilies Cry

By: C. Stephen Badgley

Just before the Shawnee leave their homeland in Ohio, forced to move west by the ever growing influx of settlers, an old warrior journeys with his grandchildren back to the place where he was born. The site of a once thriving little village on the Ohio River called Quenolapay Ohtenatit, or Little Buck Town. He tells them of his grandfather, James Letart, a Frenchman and adopted Shawnee who long ago established a trading post across the river from the village. He tells them the story of his father, Cahiktodo, whose English name was James Letart Jr., and his Delaware mother, Chihopekelis or Bluebird and her beautiful field of lilies. The brutal and tragic murder of the family of their good friend Logan, a Mingo village chief, ignited a war which impelled all of the Indians in the Ohio Country to strike the war post. Lord Dunmore, the British Governor of Virginia, headed an expedition to the frontier to “punish” the Indians there, especially the Shawnee. His goal was to destroy their crops, burn their villages and force them into submission. This story, a work of historical fact and fiction, gives a glimpse of the past and of the people who lived in this little Shawnee and Delaware village on the Ohio River, before the white man came and literally wiped out a way of life that will never be experienced again.

The Life of John Wesley Hardin

From the original manuscript as written by himself

By: John Wesley Hardin,C Stephen Badgley

Hero or Villain? John Wesley Hardin, aka "Young Seven Up," "Little Arkansas," "Wes Clemmons" and "J. H. Swain," was a notorious outlaw and gunfighter who killed his first man at age 15 in 1868 and, according to himself, went on to kill over 40 more by the time he was sent to prison at age 25. He served 16 years of a 25 year sentence before being pardoned. While in prison he studied law and after his release managed to pass the Bar exam and took up the occupation of attorney. During the Reconstruction Era in Texas, just after the Civil War, many folks considered him a hero for standing up to the Federal Army of occupation and the State Police, many of whom were former slaves. His first victim was a black man and he went on to kill many more. Others say he was a cold-blooded murderer who killed more for personal reasons and minor disagreements than any other cause. He supposedly shot and killed a man for simply snoring too loud. He always had a reason to justify his killing. He once said, "I never killed a man who didn't need killin!'" This book contains the story of his life and escapades in his own words. Read it and judge for yourself. Originally published in 1896.

The Last Four Weeks of the Civil War

By: C. Stephen Badgley,Edmund N. Hatcher

He began a quest to obtain files from both northern and southern newspapers covering the last four weeks of the war, a time when historic events rapidly occurred that forever changed America. From the fall of Richmond and the pursuit of Lee's Army to the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse and the assassination of President Lincoln, you can read the accounts of all the events from both Union and Confederate perspectives.

Life and Times of Anne Bailey

Clad in buckskin pants, a petticoat, brogan shoes, a man's coat and hat, a belt about her waist which held a knife and a tomahawk, she shouldered a rifle and took up the life of a frontiersman and a messenger carrying dispatches between Fort Lee at present day Charleston, WV, Fort Savannah at present day Lewisburg, and Fort Randolph at present day Point Pleasant, WV. In 1791, large bodies of Indians were discovered hovering near Fort Lee. The powder supply was perilously low. It was one hundred miles to Fort Savannah, the only place for re-supply. The commander asked for volunteers to go and bring back powder. No man was willing to put their lives in jeopardy, but Mad Anne Bailey, without hesitation, shouted, "I will go!
