THERE’S SOMETHING HEALTHY ABOUT DEFIANCE I found this in the “Centennial Souvenir of Fort Defiance and Semi-Centennial Edition of the Defiance Democrat” (1894). Dr. Charles E. Slocum “found in Defiance what he had traveled considerable in search of — a place to regain and retain good health. Defiance being situated at a favorable distance from the great lakes and ... with favorable local influences, it is a particularly healthful place as statistics show....” I wonder what those statistics were based on, and what were the “favorable local influences.”
