The war between Michigan and Ohio By Tom Jones / special to The Detroit News ?? ?? ?? It was a "war" that both Ohio and Michigan could rightfully claim they won, a one-casualty conflict in which the only blood drawn came from a knife thrust into the leg of a Michigan sheriff.

Historian Tom Jones ?? ?? ?? Most ask why anyone would fight Ohio over Toledo -- especially since Michigan got the Upper Peninsula as consolation for losing the argument. ?? ?? ??
