Book Description

Excerpt from Ohio and Her Western Reserve: With a Story of Three States; Leading to the Latter, From Connecticut, by Way of Wyoming, Its Indian Wars and Massacre The theme of these pages is twofold: a duality of endeavors, exhibiting a contrast of means, and yet reaching a community of outcome. Ohio - now arrived at the centennial of statehood - was resultant from the forgathering of a great number of diverse fragments finally compacted and fused in a homogenous whole by various causes. As the most composite State in the Union, it was formed by the concentrated march of an army of occupation from all of the States. These elements, widely variant as they were, had one principle in common - an inherent conviction of the righteousness of freedom, which led some to dictate, and all to assent to, a basic law against the extension of slavery.
