House of Grace, House of Blood
"An innovative collection of docupoetry, Houses of Grace, House of Blood weaves images and documents from the 1782 massacre of pacifist Delawares in Gnadenhutten, Ohio into poems that explore contradictions: settler colonists and Indigenous perspectives; violence and reconciliation; body and spirit; history and silence.

Pirates of the Prairie
The dramatic story of outlaws and vigilantes on the American frontier invariably calls to mind the Wild West of the latter nineteenth century. Yet, there was an earlier frontier, Illinois, that was every bit as wild and lawless as Dodge City or Tombstone. Between 1835 and 1850 several hundred outlaws and desperadoes descended on the prairie state, holding up stagecoaches, robbing homes and individuals, rustling cattle and horses, counterfeiting, murdering, and terrorizing residents with virtual impunity.

American Indians of the Ohio Country in the 18th Century
In the mid-17th century, the Iroquois Confederacy launched a war for control of the burgeoning fur trade industry.

Only in the first quarter of the 18th century did tribes begin to tentatively resettle the area. This book details the story of the Beaver Wars, the subsequent Indian migrations into present Ohio, the locations and descriptions of documented Indian trails and settlements, the Moravian Indian mission communities in Ohio, and the Indians' forlorn struggles to preserve an Ohio homeland, culminating in their expulsion by Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act in 1830.
