Abbott, John S. C.
Detroit: Northwestern 1875

John Stevens Cabot Abbott (1805-1877) was an American historian and a pastor in Congregational churches in Massachusetts. He wrote a number of inspirational or religious books, including a history of Christianity and guides for Christian living. He also published a variety of popular histories, primarily on European subjects, and a History of the Civil War in America.
– Summary of info in Abbot’s Wikipedia entry

This 850-page early survey of Ohio was a popular rather than an academic history, with a good supply of anecdotes and an emphasis on lively action and stories of human interest. However, it seems fairly well-researched and wide-ranging for a popular history of that era.

A History of the State of Ohio, Natural and Civil

Atwater, Caleb
Cincinnati: Glezen & Shepard 1838

Caleb Atwater (1778-1867) was a Massachusetts Presbyterian minister and then a New York lawyer and businessman. In 1815 he moved to Circleville, OH (south of Columbus) and began practicing law. He later was a postmaster and state legislator. Today he is best known as one of the first people to study prehistoric earthworks and their artifacts in the Ohio Valley. The present-day Ohio historical marker in Circleville dedicated to Atwater says that “his life and work as a teacher, minister, lawyer, legislator and scholar greatly influenced early 19th century Ohio”, mentioning his critical role in the passage of Ohio’s Public School Law and his early thoughts in History of Ohio on conservation and ecology. The marker concludes by saying that “scholars today are still intrigued by this eccentric and fascinating visionary.” .

The Journal of a Tour into the Territory Northwest of the Alleghany Mountains; Made in the Spring of the Year 1803 …

With A Geographical and Historical Account of the State of Ohio. Illustrated with original maps and views.

Harris, Thaddeus M.
Boston: Manning & Loring 1805

Thaddeus Mason Harris (1768-1842) was a Harvard-educated Unitarian minister and librarian at Harvard. In 1803, suffering from illness and depression, he was advised by his doctor to travel. He and his brother then started out for Ohio, traveling through Pennsylvania by carriage. Part 1 of the book was written from Harris’ travel journal notes, beginning near Shippensburg, PA, describing their trip over the Alleghenies to Pittsburg, on to Wheeling by carriage, and then to Marietta, Ohio by keelboat. The comparatively brief Part 2 is an account of his return trip. These travel accounts contain descriptions of geographical features and accounts of the significant towns.

The remainder, and majority of the book, is entitled “Geographical and Historical Account of the State of Ohio”. Written largely from information provided by General Rufus Putnam and several other men that Harris met in Marietta, it must have been one of the earliest attempts at a comprehensive history of Ohio.

Howe, Henry
Cincinnati: State of Ohio 1896, 1907

Henry Howe (1816-1893) was born and raised in Connecticut. In 1840 he sought out John W. Barber, who had recently published Historical Collections of Connecticut; a book that greatly impressed Howe. It had been written for the general reader, and, in Howe’s words, “it seemed, in its variety, to have something adapted to all ages, classes and tastes…” “The book, therefore reached more minds, and has been more extensively read, than any regular state history ever issued”. Howe suggested to Barber that together they research and write a similar book for New York State. They became partners, first producing Historical Collections of New York, and then similar volumes for New Jersey and Virginia.

In 1846 Howe and Barber began preparing for a history of Ohio with a tour of the state that would last more than a year and take them to 79 of 83 counties. Historical Collections of Ohio appeared in late 1847, becoming Ohio’s best-selling history book of the entire century. In 1848 Howe married and became an Ohio resident by moving to Cincinnati. He continued to write history for many years, and Ohioans often asked him about the possibility of an update to the Ohio Historical Collections. Finally, nearly 40 years later, he started out in 1885 to retrace his steps and collected material for a 3-volume set that contrasted Ohio of the 1880s with Ohio of the 1840s. He completed the project but unfortunately it ended as a financial disaster for Howe and he died deeply in debt.
– The Wikipedia entry for Howe was a source for these notes.

The 1880s Collections, originally a 3-volume set, was consolidated into two large volumes in later editions, like those offered above.

Ohio: First Fruits of the Ordinance of 1787

King, Rufus
Boston: Houghton, Mifflin 1891

“The special significance of the book is seen in the explanatory title. While admirably qualified for his task, the writer maintains some opinions that, to say the least, are doubtful, as that the Old Congress insisted upon its jurisdiction over the Old Northwest. He minimizes, too, the legal value of the Ordinance of 1787.”- Literature of American History; a bibliographical guide 1902.

Fifty Stories from Ohio History

Martzolff, Clement L.
Columbus: Ohio Teaching 1919

The author of this early 20th century book was the head of the Department of History at Ohio University. He wrote that “this collection of stories is the response to a feeling which the writer has had for years that too little is known by the boys and girls in our schools concerning the origin, growth and development of our state … The basis of selection has been to secure such stories as are representative of the different periods in our state’s history.”

Adventures of Post, Heckewelder and Zeisberger; legends and traditions of the Kophs, Mound builders, red and white men; Adventures of Putnam and Heckewelder, founders of the state; Local history, growth of Ohio in population, political power, wealth and intelligence

Mitchener, Charles H. ed.
Dayton: Odell 1876

This 1870s popular history seems to be drawn from a wide variety of sources, although none are listed. Much of the book is an early history of the state, beginning with its geological origins but mostly consisting of the last quarter of the 18th century and the first quarter of the 19th. It emphasizes dramatic incidents and heroes. It is interspersed with about 30 “Legends and Traditions”, which seem to be stories or incidents that had been passed down orally, often by local Native Americans. Toward the end of the volume there is a focus on the history of particular regions (as indicated in the title), and the last chapter includes a collection of lists and tables.

Randall, E O, and Daniel J. Ryan
New York: Century History 1912

Emilius O. Randall (1850-1919) of Columbus, OH was a Law Professor at Ohio State University and the official reporter of the Ohio Supreme Court. Appointed by the Governor as a Trustee of the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society, he also served as Secretary and Editor. He edited 28 volumes and authored several books and numerous articles for the Society. Daniel Joseph Ryan (1855-1923) was a Republican politician in the Ohio state legislature and an historian of Ohio.

“The first two volumes written by Mr. Randall, cover the pre-state period of Ohio history; volume 3, written by Mr. Ryan, shows how in the two-score years ended in 1837, the Ohio wilderness was tamed and how popular government and statehood was established; in volume 4 Mr. Ryan undertakes to present an accurate and impartial history of the state of Ohio from 1837 down to the present time. The fifth volume contains treatises by selected writers on the literary men and women of Ohio, the Judiciary, the doctors and medical colleges, the state’s relation to the Great Lakes, and the manufacturing interests of the state.”
– The Book Review Digest

Randall wrote in the Preface of Vol 1 that he carefully consulted all publications of second-hand authority available, and examined reprints of original documents. He also visited nearly every site in the state that touched upon his narrative. He said these volumes were written “with the purpose of concisely portraying the more important events in early Ohio history and presenting them in their relative and chronological order, in simple narrative form for the general reader. A history for the public should be first reliable, second readable.”
