Excerpt from The Picturesque Ohio: A Historical Monograph Miami, on the rolling table-lands of Kentucky, or amid the trackless forests of Indiana. Here was soil which for ages had fed great forests, to receive its compensation when the generous boughs scattered their leaves under the touch of autumn frosts, until unlimited productiveness awaited the labor of the husband man. Here were beautiful streams, which had never re ected the face of civilized man, waiting to give like reward to the genius and thrift of the manufacturer, while the broad, sweeping river and its tributaries afforded certain avenues of communi cation and transportation. We call Columbus the discoverer of America, and celebrate his exploit with blare of trumpet and utter of pennon. But would it not be truer to history to call the Genoese navigator a Discoverer rather than t/ze Discoverer of America? In other words, has not the real America had many discoverers, rather than one or two? What, after all, did Columbus discover? An island in the sea, a dissevered fragment, so insignificant that to-day we scarcely give it a thought. He died without a dream of the vast territory which his courage, and persistency, and faith had opened to civilization.
