Show eUmlnder of the War of ISIS. For alx miles through the forest In Hancock and Wood counties, Ohio, may be seen a wide swath through the tree tops, the once open space being grown thick with smaller timber. It tells the atory of Oen. Hull and the army that biased Its way north to Fort Melga In the war of 1813. On several farms near Flndlay are still found sections sec-tions of the old corduroy roadway built of the tree trunks that were felled to gain a passage for the army. The loga are well preserved and are found from two to five feet under the aoll. It waa at the close of that memorable campaign that Col. Flndlay camped on the south side of Blanchard'a Fork of the Auglalta and established the old stockade fort named after blm, Fort Flndlay. |
