The conclusion of the American Revolution ended hostilities on the eastern side of the Appalachian Mountains, but a volatile and violent situation persisted in the Ohio Country. Unlike the sporadic traders, who for over a century wandered their way through the region, a new stream of settlers poured over the Ohio River, intent on becoming permanent residents. The numerous indigenous nations of the region resolved that they would not give up their homelands without a fight. As white settlers traveled down the Ohio River in 1788, Indian raiding parties destroyed white settlements with disturbing effectiveness, frequently dispatching their floating targets.1 Peace negotiations stalled as the United States failed to control its settlers, and the Indian nations failed to restrain their warriors. The ratification of the Constitution and the election of George Washington brought a new phase to the struggle for the Northwest Territory. Afraid of losing the region to Great Britain or even Spain, the new commander in chief ordered an official government campaign to subdue the hostile Indians and pacify the Ohio Country for white settlement. This would prove to be a difficult task as two different American military campaigns ended in humiliating defeats. In the autumn of 1790, Gen. Josiah Harmar led an unsuccessful attack against the Indian town of Kekionga (Fort Wayne, Indiana), where a coalition

Ohio’s John Bingham was a well-known and successful political figure at the middle of the nineteenth century.1 Despite losing his congressional seat in the wave of Democratic victories in 1862, he was reelected two years later and became a prominent participant in prosecuting Lincoln’s assassins and in drafting the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution. Moreover, 2018 marked the 150th anniversary of his role in the impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson. Yet Bingham, who served eighteen years in Congress, also had a notable diplomatic career that lasted a full dozen years, two-thirds as long as his better-known political one. In this regard, his career would anticipate a number of later ambassadorial postings of prominent politicians to Tokyo such as Mike Mansfield (1977–88), Eugene Mondale (1993–96), and Howard Baker Jr.

Western Reserve University expands our understanding of the reform processes of early twentieth-century medical education in the United States. The institutional powerhouses of the East Coast dominate historical accounts, but change may have occurred differently and more slowly in medical schools of the Midwest and West. Western Reserve University (WRU), although midwestern and supported by meager endowments, ranked among the best medical schools in the early 1900s.1 It is clear that medical education reform leaders were not limited to the Northeast because, as Kenneth Ludmerer states, “improvements at these schools [in the Midwest] occurred quietly, almost without notice.”2 Western Reserve University’s Medical Department warrants historical attention because of how its socially progressive policies and ambitious professional efforts placed the department at the forefront of medical education.

Saxton, a Canton banker’s daughter who had epilepsy, but who was well cared for by her husband. Having served in Congress between 1879 and 1891, he was known for the 1890 McKinley Tariff, which helped American industries and their workers. As Ohio governor between 1892 and 1896, McKinley significantly helped Ohio during the 1893 Panic. Chapters 11 through 23 reveal his role during his first presidential term and his leadership during the “splendid little war” with Spain. With financial help from Marcus Hannah, he became known for his “front-porch” campaign and defeated William Jennings Bryan in 1896.Two years later, he led America in its war against Spain: McKinley succeeded in suppressing Spain in Cuba and sent Commodore George Dewey to capture Manila Bay. By the terms of the 1898 Paris Treaty, America developed a presence in Cuba and annexed the Philippines and Guam. The final chapters focus on McKinley’s second presidential term. During this term, McKinley, who had again defeated the Populist Bryan, was assassinated during Buffalo’s Pan American Exposition by the anarchist Leon Czolgosz and died on September 14, 1901. This biography, which is well documented, is splendid. This lucidly written work, which is superior to the studies of Margaret Leech and H. Wayne Morgan, superbly demonstrates that this Buckeye president succeeded as a Gilded Age leader and more importantly as an American empire builder. R .
