In a ravine along the Little Miami River sits Castle LaRoche, better known as Loveland Castle. Based on tenth century castles in Europe, it was built by Harry Andrews, a World War I veteran who objected to the use of guns and machines in modern warfare, preferring the sword of old. So how does a US Army vet get through the first mechanized war if he objects to firearms?
Harry was a nurse. Discharged after suffering meningitis, Andrews spent six months in Europe after his discharge visiting castles. His imagination stirred, he settled to the Cincinnati area to found (or, as the Order puts it, reactivate) the Knights of the Golden Trail, an order open to any man willing to help save civilization. As part of his dream, he built Loveland Castle.
