Amid the Honorable Plenty: The Story of Covalt's Station, an Ohio Frontier Settlement
In January of 1790, Revolutionary War veteran Captain Abraham Covalt Jr. led 45 white settlers up the Little Miami River to establish Covalt's Station. It was the farthest inland settlement yet attempted in the Miami Purchase and was located in present day Terrace Park, Ohio.
But the land they chose was already claimed as seasonal hunting ground by the Miami and the Shawnee, and neither had any intention of letting it go.
This is the story of the violence, bloodshed, creation, and destruction that occurred when these cultures collided as one empire began and another began to disappear.
