By: Leslie Korenko

Kelleys Island 1810-1861 - The courageous, poignant & often quirky lives of island pioneers - By Leslie Korenko This is the first in a series of history books about Kelleys Island Ohio. The book is a comprehensive, richly detailed, and surprisingly entertaining history of Kelleys Island, a small remote island in Lake Erie. Its history is told by the islanders, in their own words, gently blended with narrative text. You can read correspondence and letters to newspapers, as well as articles found in an incredible handwritten newspaper-The Islander. The island is now a resort, but 175 years ago it was the wilderness. There are stories of the early squatters who occupied this wild, unsettled and remote part of Ohio as well as first-hand accounts of the building of the Johnson's Island prison and a visit to the soldiers of the 38th Ohio stationed at Somerset Tennessee during the early days of the Civil War. Covering the period 1810-1861 over 160 illustrations.

KELLEYS ISLAND 1862-1865

The Civil War, the Island Soldiers, & the Island Queen

By: Leslie Korenko

In 1865 there were just 600 people living on Kelleys Island in Lake Erie. But this little island sent almost 100 of its men to fight in the Civil War. Through the soldier's letters, newspaper accounts and historical documents, the island's development can be explored. Her soldiers fought in the 3rd Ohio Cavalry, 24th, 38th, and 101st Ohio Infantries, the 1st Ohio Heavy Artillery and the 130th Ohio Volunteer Militia. Douglas Kelley was wounded at Libby prison, Simon Huntington was killed in action at Stone River and Jacob Rush was captured as a spy, sent to Cahaba prison where he helped lead an escape attempt and on his return home, was one of the few survivors of the Sultana explosion. This is life on an Ohio island, told by the islanders themselves.
