I didn't think that I ever met my great grandfather Charles A. Butler. When my Uncle Jim sent me the photograph (below) I recalled going with grandma and grandpa to a Butler family reunion at Big Bottom state park (see map at the top). [Named for the broad Muskingum floodplain, the
three acre Big Bottom park is the site of a skirmish
between Ohio Company settlers and some Delaware
and Wyandot Indians on 2 January 1791. The Big
Bottom massacre marked the start of four years of
frontier warfare in Ohio, which only stopped when
General Anthony Wayne and the Indian tribes signed
the Treaty of Greene Ville.]
