PREFACE.

The approach of the Centennial Anniversary of the Treaty of Greenville, and the want of a convenient, authentic account of this important bit of local and national history, explain, in part, the appearance of this work. In order to give a clear and comprehensive idea of the significance of this event, a sketch of the previous history of the territory affected thereby is incorporated.

The quotations, except where noted, are from the American State Papers, Vol. I, of Indian Affairs.

I hope that the perusal of these pages will arouse a sufficient amount of interest and enthusiasm to secure a hearty celebration of the next anniversary of this event, and the erection of a suitable memorial on the site of its consummation.

GREENVILLE, ОнIO, October, 1894.
