PREFATORY NOTE. This work was undertaken in answer to the invitation of many citizens of the Mahoning Valley. It originated in their laudable appreciation of the deeds of their ancestors and the desire that the record of the lives of those who laid the foundation of civilization on the Reserve, and have brought to its successful accomplishment the work of developing the resources of this favored valley, should be embodied in permanent form. The publishers have aimed at accuracy and completeness, and trust they have been reasonably successful. The material used in the compilation of these two volumes was mainly gleaned from interviews with more than one thousand individuals. The editors have been at great pains to eliminate errors, but they can not hope in every instance to have avoided inaccuracies. It is believed, however, that their work is essentially carrect. In the compilation of the General History original manuscripts and records were usually relied upon, but in addition to these, published works have furnished valuable information. The following volumes were consulted : Bancroft's History of the United States, Parkman's Conspiracy of Pontiac, Whittlesey's History of Cleveland, Henry Howe's History of Ohio, Abbott's History of Ohio, Taylor's History of Ohio, Historical Collections of the Mahoning Valley, Geological Survey of Ohio, various State reports, files of the local papers, and other publications. "The Mahoning County Bar" is the contribution of John M. Edwards, Esq., of Youngstown. "The Trumbull County Bar" was prepared in part by Jefferson Palm, Esq., and in part by David Jameson. The first two chapters of the history of Youngstown were written by J. M. Edwards, Esq., whose special qualifications are well known, The history of Hartford township was written by T. A. Bushnell, and of Greene by James Braden. The editors were received everywhere with cordiality and treated with kindness. It is impossible to make special acknowledgments, but all who rendered assistance are assured that their favor was appreciated. CONTENTS. HISTORICAL |
