Howe began his history of
Ohio
in 1846. Starting in
Marietta
he walked and rode around the state interviewing early settlers, collecting data, and sketching points
of interest. Howe returned to
New Haven
to arrange the material and published Historical Collections of Ohio in 1847. Eighteen thousand copies of the first edition
were sold and Howe's book became the standard history of
Ohio
.
Howe began revising his history of
Ohio
in 1885. He financed the project by selling in advance 200 copies of the revised history at ten dollars each. In March 1887,
he finished his travels in
Ohio
and began preparing the manuscript for publication. The work was larger and more costly than Howe had anticipated and he appealed to
the
Ohio
legislature for financial aid. The legislature purchased 1200 copies of the first volume of the history for ,000. By the time the remainder of the history was
printed in 1891, Howe was deeply in debt and the work was too expensive for the average person to buy.
Includes 1,000+ wood engravings, most done
on site expressly for this work.
Separate chapters on each county provided.
