PREFACE The Hanging Rock Iron Region of Ohio is a term which has both geological and historical significance. In the early portion of the nineteenth century the pioneer iron industries west of the Alleghany Mountains had their birth in that section of the country. Conditions have since radically changed, so that its industries are more diversified, and the activities of the region broader and more complex. It is this wonderful transformation which this history aims to depict. As a whole the Hanging Rock Iron Region is in the basin in which converge the Kanawha and Guyandotte rivers of West Virginia, the Big Sandy bordering that state and Ketucky, and the Scioto of Ohio. A seemingly inexhaustible field of superior coal well adapted for coking purposes has been developed in West Virginia and eastern, Kentucky. An abundance of iron ore and coking coal within economic reach, the great natural grain storehouse on the west and the roads already built and being built, leading east and to the nearest Atlantic seaboard point, give to the Hanging Rock district a position of commercial advantage that cannot be overlooked. Taking the four counties of Lawrence, Jackson, Vinton and Scioto, as the nucleus of the Hanging Rock Iron Region of Ohio, it is doubtful if any similar section of the middle west can furnish so much picturesque detail of human experience and enterprise. With ample reason for pride in the present, it should not be forgotten that the sources of this abundance are in the past, though many of the important actors still live. Lawrence County is not an agricultural section, although possessing some fine farm and excellent grazing fields. In the eastern part apples are grown extensively. In the past coal and iron were mined extensively and the old charcoal furnaces made men rich. Now both coal and iron mining has largely been abandoned, and the furnaces are maintained by coal from West Virginia and Kentucky and ore from the Lake Superior region. Ironton, the county seat, is noted for its wealth of schools and churches, its numerous banks and public and private buildings, and its civic pride. Further, the Hanging Rock which gave the name to the famous Region treated in this history, is a striking feature of the neighboring landscape. Jackson County is rich in interesting early history. Its "salt licks" in the early days made it a popular rendezvous for all kinds of wild game, Indians, and those hardy white pioneer adventurers of the type of Boone, who was himself one of the early visitors. In the early days salt was manufactured extensively. Settlements of Welsh were early planted, and as coal and iron began to be mined, more of that hardy - iii - iv - PREFACE people came ready to share in the work to which they had been reared in their native land. Now the people of that nationality and their descendants are prominent. While excellent farms are to be found, the population is largely engaged in mining and manufacturing. One of the more recent industries is that of brick and tile manufacturing, a superior clay having been discovered. Jackson, the county seat, is a well-built city worthy of the Region. Scioto County is famous for its early history, intensely interesting and well worthy of preservation. Portsmouth is the most populous of any city within the range of the Hanging Rock Iron Region, and is a modern municipality in every respect. It has splendid wholesale houses of every kind, extensive manufacturing enterprises, a school system that is the pride of the city, churches of practically all denominations, libraries and public institutions of every type found in a modern center of commerce and society. Brick, tile and pottery clay is mined, manufactured and shipped. Vinton County has had a separate history since 1850, although settlers commenced to locate within its present limits more than four decades before that year. It has the distinction of having gathered its territory from four neighboring counties, and may be said to be most closely identified with Jackson County. In the earlier days of Vinton County half a dozen prosperous charcoal iron furnaces were in operation within its borders, and the shipments of the finished product, as well as of ore and coal, were considerable. Although conditions have changed throughout the entire Hanging Rock Iron Region, the developments within Vinton County during the past decade promise a substantial growth of industries based on coal, fire clay, oil and natural gas, especially in the western and northern sections. McArthur, the county seat, is the largest village and is surrounded by an attractive and fertile country. Hamden is its nearest competitor in population and is the center of a promising coal field. But, like other counties in the Hanging Rock Iron Region, Vinton is turning its attention to the advantages of horticulture, agriculture and livestock raising and is making good progress along these lines. All of these general features, so noticeable in the four modern counties forming the bulk of the old Hanging Rock Iron Region of Ohio, have been elaborated with essential details; collected and verified with care. In the furtherance of this work, the editor takes pleasure in acknowledging the faithful assistance of his associate editors, Daniel W. Williams. of Jackson County, George O. Newman, of Scioto County, and Charles B. Taylor, of Vinton County, with the following members of the Advisory Board : Frank E. Hayward and Fred G. Leete, Ironton ; Samuel Reed and John Peebles, of Portsmouth, H. S. Willard of Wellston, and J. W. Darby, of McArthur.  .ter    CONTENTS PART I HANGING ROCK IRON REGION
