Eliza Kirby, the Kirby family from College Hill had a family farm next to the Charles Cist (editor) family farm in College Hill. This shows a connection between the Piatts and Cists family. It is documented that Henry M. Cist and Donn Piatt fought at the Battle of Chickamauga, but Henry M. Cist was Donn Piatts lawyer during and after the Civil War.
George H. Thomas, The Rock of Chickamauga. Both Donn Piatt and Henry M. Cist were in this Civil War group. These photos are at Piatt Castles in West Liberty, Ohio.
This moquette is a smaller version of a larger piece that is at the Cincinnati Art Museum. Piatts, Allens, Cists, LaBoiteauxs, and other families contributed to the art scene in the mid-west during the 1800's. I am sharing this to assist others to add to the growing list of individuals and families that helped grow the cultural areas from the mid-west.

The Youtube video is a demonstration on how an 1830 meal was prepared and cooked for visitors such as Lewis Jacob Cist and Henry M. Cist and Charles Cist (editor) would have experienced traveling in the wilderness.
