"You find that hard to believe, do you? It was right next to the van I was living in down by the river."

I gotta ask, where is the Maumee River and were you hunting the freshwater sharks with your shotgun or with your FK2 ? 😄
 
If one of those famed Ohio sharks gets a hold of you, you'll be crying for your Maumee!

(I remember reading the history of the Battle of Fallen Timbers near the Maumee River in a series of novels about the early days of the United States.)

My google fu is weak today. It's a large series of books, (historical fiction), going back to well before the Revolution, and includes the various Indian Wars, etc. If only I could remember that author or name of the series. My brain is in a bit of a fog at the moment.

I’ve read The Frontiersmen a few times. And Wilderness Empire and The Wilderness War from that series.
