I was a kid in southern Ohio in the '60s and recall going to a historical site that was a very large old tree....it's probably long gone but does anyone remember what it was and where it was? I think an Indian was signed at the site.

You are probably thinking of the Treaty of Greenville. That was signed at Greenville, Ohio. Don't know if the actual tree where the signing took place is still there, but I'm sure there are historical markers. There are other historical sites and locations there. too. They also have large Annie Oakley and Lowell Thomas exhibits in their county historical museum, since they were both from the area.

Little Turtle signed the treaty of Greenville if my memory is correct...been awhile since Ohio history class...lollollol.They had a large Elm tree at the old N&W railroad depot in Portsmouth Ohio at a small park in front that was from the Logan Elm tree where Mingo chief Logan gave a speech and they cut it down when they tore down the depot for the new county jail. I have old N&W railroad magazines that have several American Indian stories in them and i believe your subject matter is in one of them i will look for it if you like?
