WILMINGTON Author Janet Shailer’s new book “Trouble on Scioto’s Waters; Soldiers, Frontiersmen, and Native Americans, 1725-1815” ($22.95 Orange Frazer Press) takes place along the now tranquil waters of the Scioto River and its tributaries.
These were once hotbeds of activity as Prehistoric and Woodland Indians/Native Americans used them as major transportation routes.
Later the European fur trappers and frontiersmen understood their significance, followed by soldiers from three different countries.
