WHEELING -- The Ohio County Public Library's next Lunch With Books program will examine "Settling Ohio: First Peoples and Beyond" with Timothy G. Anderson.
The program will take place at noon on Tuesday, Nov. 21, at the library in downtown Wheeling.
"Settling Ohio: First Peoples and Beyond" was edited by Anderson and Brian Schoen. It begins with an overview of the first people who inhabited the region, who built civilizations that moved massive amounts of earth and left an archaeological record that drew the interest of subsequent settlers and continues to intrigue scholars.
It highlights how, in the 18th century, Native Americans who migrated from the East and North interacted with Europeans to develop impressive trading networks and how they navigated complicated wars and sought to preserve national identities in the face of violent attempts to remove them from their lands.
This program will be the second in a series dedicated to National Native American Heritage Month.
