This work consists of biographical sketches of the early settlers of Washington County, many of whom had the remarkable experience of having been born under a monarch, fought in the American Revolution, assisted in the founding of the new nation, moved into the wilderness, and laid the foundation of a new state. In addition to the biographies themselves, Dr. Hildreth has included chapters on the settlement of Athens County and the town of Amestown, Ohio.
