EDITORS COMMENTS
The Perry Memorial at Put-In-Bay, Ottawa County, Ohio, c1912, is a poignant tribute to Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the American naval hero who secured a decisive victory in the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. This photograph, taken from an unknown photographer and held in the Library of Congress, captures the memorial in its early 20th-century splendor. The monument, located on the shores of Lake Erie, stands proudly against a natural backdrop of lush greenery and clear blue waters. The reflection of the memorial in the lake adds an extra layer of depth and beauty to the image. The memorial's intricate architectural design is evident in the photograph, with its Doric columns and ornate details. The Battle of Lake Erie, fought on September 10, 1813, was a pivotal moment in the War of 1812, as Perry's victory gave the United States control of the lake and allowed for a successful land campaign against the British. The Perry Memorial was erected to commemorate this important victory and honor the man who led the charge. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the memorial was a new and significant addition to the Put-In-Bay landscape. Today, the Perry Memorial remains a popular tourist attraction and a source of pride for the community, drawing visitors from around the country and beyond to pay tribute to Commodore Perry and the rich history of the United States.
