April 10,1792 was a significant day in Clermont County's
history.
This was the day two cultures collided.
The members of one culture prided themselves as serving as
caretakers of their great creator's earth from whose soil
grew
forth beans, corn and squash. Streams provided pure water,
forest
provided game for the cooking pots and wood for shelter and
fire.
For those who belonged to the second culture, the vast
fertile
land beyond the great OYO river and between the Miamis ~ the
Great
and the Little~ nurtured their dreams and fed their desires
to
claim a piece of land for their own. A place unlike the heavy
populated
area East of the mountains, somewhere they would have plenty
of
space to work and live.
Maybe it was inevitable that on April 10th, 1792 Frontiersman
Simon
Kenton, Shawnee Warrior Tecumseh and their followers would
confront
one another at a place where the Grassy Run empties into
the East Fork of the Little Miami River in Jackson Township.
Little did they know that this confrontation would be
recorded as the largest skirmish between the red man and
white man in Clermont County !
