Journal of Ensign William
Schillinger 51
EDITOR'S NOTE
The original manuscript of this Journal
was brought to the attention of the
Editor by
Mr. James A. Green, a life member of
the
Society, whose contributions have
appeared in
previous issues of the Quarterly.
Mr. Green has for years been deeply
inter-
ested in the history of Ohio and the
Northwest
Territory. He has made a special study
of the
career of William Henry Harrison who
was
born in Virginia, but who throughout
his public
career was very actively identified
with the
Northwest Territory and later became
the first
President of the United States elected
from
Ohio.
This Journal, which throws considerable
light on the War of 1812 as seen by a
soldier,
appears for the first time in print.
The intro-
duction by Mr. Green is well timed and
illu-
minating.
