PREFACE
1190769
The object of this work is to present in narrative form the princi- pal facts attending the growth of the State of Ohio, from its organi- zation until the close of the first century following the adoption of the Constitution. Introductory to the record of the Hundred Years, several chapters are devoted to the earlier events that affected the people formerly living in Ohio and created the conditions that made possible the founding of an American State. The era of territorial government is also given such attention as its importance demands. Altogether, the volume covers an historical period of about four cen- turies.
In the preparation of this volume recourse has been had to a great many general and local histories and biographical collections relating exclusively to Ohio, and the publications of historical societies and official documents. Besides, information upon various subjects has been sought in other publications of a more general scope. The extent of this research is partly indicated in the foot-notes, but many authorities that have been referred to are not so mentioned, for want of space. It may be said that there is hardly a page in the book that is not the result of comparison of several authorities. Spe- cial indebtedness is acknowledged to those excellent abstracts of official records, William A. Taylor's "Annals of Progress," and "Ohio in Congress."
Throughout the work it will be found that there has been included sketches or biographical mention of the governors of the State, United States senators, the presidents and great generals she has given the Republic, the most eminent jurists and statesmen, and others famous in different careers, with the objeet of showing the

characters of the men who gave Ohio prominence and affording illus- trious example and patriotic inspiration. These notices of promi- nent men have been woven into the narrative, where they belong, and are necessarily brief, but it has been sought, in every case, to pre- sent the essential facts of the individual careers.
The political history of the State has not been avoided. The aim of the author was to describe fairly and impartially those politi- cal differences that have occupied so large a part of the thought of the people of the State from the days of the Northwest Territory. Without imposing any judgments upon the reader, the purpose has been to present the main features of these political conflicts, the opin- ions of the leaders, the names of the candidates for high office, and the rote of the people.
