Clint Mauk—Ohio/Michigan War Clint Mauk discusses the Ohio—Michigan War. This war which occurred in 1835 is also known as the Toledo War or The War with a Happy Ending. For most of the early 19th century, Ohio and Michigan fought over the “Toledo Strip.” Clint is a Past President and Honorary Member of the Rotary Club of Toledo who has served the Club for almost 59 years. He has chaired the PolioPlus and Program committees, was a member of the first Toledo Rotary Foundation Board, and has been active in both the 75th and 100th Anniversary committees. In 2003, President Walter McGhee asked Clint to tell a couple of his early history of Toledo stories as a warm up for his programs which resulted in some 40 weekly historical stories culminating in the book, Historical Tales of Toledo, produced by the talents and skills of many Toledo Rotarians, and netting approximately $150,000 for the Toledo Rotary Foundation and Clint being named Club Historian. Clint is a graduate of Dartmouth College, a World War II veteran, an avid organic gardener, and fly fisherman. His recent senior years have been devoted to giving 400 lectures on Northwest Ohio history as an “Historical Story Teller” and selling books out of the trunk of his car.
