It was destroyed by the French and Indians in 1752. For the next 30 years or so Indians roamed throughout the Miami Valley. In 1782, a man named George Rogers Clark surprised and destroyed a native American village, which forced them to move west. The author has consulted with a wide range of sources, including personal interviews, county records, books, newspapers, and public documents. There are also many details provided that a stranger to the area may find very interesting. While it was hastily written and some details were added at the last moment, this book nevertheless provides many insights into the history of Dayton.
