With its extraordinary natural resources and key waterways, the region that the state of Ohio now includes was a partial reason for three wars involving European powers: the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812. It was also site to numerous conflicts between Euro- Americans and American Indians in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Various American military personalities have ties to the state, including George Rogers Clark, Tecumseh, Ulysses Grant, George Custer, Edward Rickenbacker, and Paul Tibbets, Jr. Ohio's civilians routinely supported their soldiers in these military conflicts by endorsing bounties to spur recruits, providing funds to families of active-duty soldiers, forming Soldiers' Aid Societies, and serving as nurses on the battlefield. Yet not all of Ohio's people actively supported war, with some of the state's civilians playing prominent roles in protest efforts, including the most infamous anti-war protest in United States history, the shootings at Kent State University. \u003cbr\u003e Complete with a list of historical sites and a comprehensive bibliography, \u003ci\u003eOhio: A Military History\u003c\/i\u003e is an important reference for those interested in the role of the Buckeye State in our nation's history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWestholme State Military History Series \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Each state in the United States of America has a unique military history.
