    This book covers a broad range of historical anecdotes related to early settlement of Ohio and makes a good primer for further study. It's style is a bit antiquated for the modern readers ear but that lends a certain charm to the storytelling.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Charming but Dated
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2014

    Critic and novelist Howells seems to have written these nonfiction "stories" in the late 1890s--Ohio native William McKinley has been elected President but not yet assassinated, though the title page has no copyright date. Howells was ahead of his times in all areas, but his perpsective will still seem dated to the general or undergraduate reader. For those of us who teach and study the history and cultures of Ohio, it is an interesting text that ranges from the earliest natural history of the region through Logan's Lament and Mad Anthony Wayne, the Battle of Lake Erie, and Ohio notables like John Chapman (aka Johnny Appleseed).

    Excellent book about Ohio history written in 1897. I think it is a better look into what was happening in early Ohio than you will find in today's history books. At times it is gruesome but I think it is accurate account of what was happening. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the early history of Ohio.

    I love history of any kind but since I have lived in Ohio 40 yrs. I developed a hunger to know the beginning stories and this book feeds some of that hunger. I have other history books bought from Amazon on Ohio and Virginia and Kentucky history that I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves History.

    Propaganda from an earlier age with much embellished from the Guilded age proving Ohio is just as good as the original 13 states.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Trois étoiles quand même
    Reviewed in France on June 19, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    C'est une sorte de recueil d'histoires en même temps qu'un livre d'histoire. Howells y raconte l'histoire de l'Ohio par tranches (la domination française, Tecumseh, etc.) et se rapproche beaucoup d'une forme de roman historique, subjectif et bien souvent avec les préjugés de son époque, aplanis mais tout de même présents en particulier vis-à-vis des Indiens, à l'attention des jeunes générations en particulier: si les enfants ne sont pas très présents dans ses romans, il n'était pas de ceux qui pensaient que les (plus) jeunes doivent être exclus de la littérature, bien au contraire.
