The invasion

"In 1790 John Johnston, a cultivated young Irishman, came to the far corner of the Northwest Territory to make his fortune intending to spend only a year. Instead, he married Ozhah-guscoday-wayquay, or The Woman of the Glade, daughter of the Ojibway chief Waub-ojeeg, and settled on St. Mary's River. Together they founded a family that was loved, respected, and famous throughout the region for honesty, fairness, and hospitality.
