Title	Perry's Victory Centennial Official Souvenir Program
Subject	Military Ohio War of 1812 Centennial celebrations Fourth of July celebrations
Place	Cleveland (Ohio) Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Put-in-Bay (Ohio) Ottawa County (Ohio)
Description	This souvenir program of the Perry's Victory Centennial includes a description of the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812 that draws parallels to other major historic events. Also contained is a photograph of a model a monument planned to commemorate the battle that includes measurements and materials to be used in the construction. The program notes that "all of the buildings are of fireproof construction and built of non-combustible materials--not a single piece of wood is used in any part of the work." Almost as impressive as the monument are a museum and colonnaded area that were never completed as planned. The celebratory events scheduled for the weekend of July 4 are listed along with trophies and other awards to be given for various events, (yachting, power boating, canoeing, water polo, and several swimming events). The program is 84 pages in length and measures 7.25" x 10.5" (18.42 x 26.67 cm). The first 34 pages are included here. The Battle of Lake Erie, the decisive American victory over the British fleet in the War of 1812, took place on September 10, 1813. Admiral Oliver Hazard Perry led the American fleet. A month later, the British and American Indian forces were defeated at the Battle of the Thames near London, Ontario, Canada, ending the war. The celebration of the centennial of Perry's victory in 1913 was one of many that occurred in major cities around Lake Erie and areas involved in the War of 1812, including Erie, Pennsylvania; Fairport, Lorain, Toledo, and Sandusky , Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Buffalo, New York; and Louisville, Kentucky.
