This man's face is found on a 1936 silver half-dollar made to commemorate the Great Lakes Exposition.
This one time Worshipful Master of Moriah Lodge performed his most famous task for the Connecticut Land Company. This man led a fifty-man expedition from Schenectady that gave the name Port Independence to the mouth of Conneaut Creek. That expedition involved using $1,200 of whiskey and beads to bribe Mohawk and Seneca Indians. By using that bribe, this man's party was allowed to enter the (*) Western Reserve, which he was surveying when he performed his most famous action. This man's face is found on a 1936 silver half-dollar made to commemorate the Great Lakes Exposition. A bronze statue of this man appears in Public Square with his name missing the letter 'a.' For 10 points, name this man who founded a city on the shores of Lake Erie in Ohio.
