History of Ohio: The Rise and Progress of an American State (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from History of Ohio: The Rise and Progress of an American StateThis marvelous development was not due to the mere accretion of growth resulting from time, but it was the direct work of the men who met and solved the prob lems of the period in which they lived. No better blood was ever given to found a State than that of the pioneers of Ohio; strong and healthy strains of other lands have since entered into its life.Such a people cannot fail to have an interesting career, and in these pages is recorded their history. If, as Bacon says, history makes men wise, it is be cause he who writes it deducts lessons from the past. So, remembering that history is philosophy teaching by example, I have not been content wholly with making this volume a mere chronological table or a skeleton of facts, but have at times undertaken by deduction, criticism or otherwise, to give the reader a text for the thoughtful consideration of the lessons that can be derived from the past.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
