Step into nineteenth-century Ohio as it was mapped, measured, and remembered in image and narrative. Ohio, seen in the round. Benson John Lossing, one of America's most respected historical illustrators, delivers an illustrated state history that reads like a guided tour: from ohio physical geography and natural resources to towns, counties, and the political divisions that shaped everyday life. Rivers, forests, canals, and frontier roads sit beside growing cities and farms, tracing Ohio's place in early midwest settlement and national change. Part pictorial historical survey, part vintage gazetteer reference, this volume gathers the foundations of a young state: early midwest settlement patterns, key moments in public life, and the frameworks of ohio government constitution. For historians, it shows how nineteenth-century Americans built identity from geography and law. Along the way it notes public lands antiquities, local landmarks, and the traces of earlier cultures, making it a rich genealogy local history source as well as a vivid primer for readers who want a trustworthy classroom ohio history text. Lossing's approach belongs to the great tradition of american state gazetteers and united states regional history, where maps, engravings, and concise explanation combine to fix a place in the mind. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For casual browsers, it is a glimpse of 19th century ohio; for classic-history collectors, an authoritative artefact of how Americans once recorded their states.
