Early days in Fulton
County, OH, including Wauseon, Fayette, Delta and Archbold, are recalled
through a mixture of colorful tales and factual data in this NEW 11 page booklet, reproduced
directly from portions of the 1892 edition of Henry Howe's Historical Collections
of Ohio and other hard-to-find sources. The spiral-bound booklet is printed
single-sided on 60# paper with the fine print enlarged for easier reading.

a view of Wauseon about 1888, a sketch of a Buckeye branch, and a delightful
look at an early railroad train.
Among the many fascinating subjects in the booklet are:
the old Maumee Mission, Indian villages, mission schools, sports of Indian
children, nut gathering, notables among the Indians, the old blockhouse,
Indian trading house, the fur trade (40 cents for rat, 30 cents for mink,
$3.00-4.00 for bear), the old council elm, bad white men and an Indian council.
