Description
Excerpt from The Squirrel Hunters of Ohio: Or Glimpses of Pioneer Life
At the close of the Revolution, the Eastern States were old and prematurely gray, and poverty, bankruptcy and starvation induced the patriotic soldiers to accept pay for their services in unsurveyed wild land in the N orth-west Ter ritory. The new acquisition was lauded as a country ?owing with equivalents to milk and honey, and would sustain a large population, make delightful homes, and furnish an easily-ao quired subsistence.
As soon as the Indian dangers were no longer detrimental, the homeless poor, with guns, am munition and land certificates, ?ocked in from all quarters of the world, took possession of the country, and became the progenitors of a great and pre-eminent people - The Squirrel Hunters of Ohio.
