The History of Scioto County, Ohio,
AND
Pioneer Record of Southern Ohio.

The editor of this work has undertaken it at the suggestion and request of many of the principal citizens of the county,
business men, and representatives of pioneer families. He has had it long in view and for years has been compiling information,
from all sources open to him. He has an abstract of historical facts from all the news papers ever published in Portsmouth. He
has also prepared an abstract of valuable facts from the journals of the County Commissioners and of Portsmouth town and city
councils, from their commencement to this time. He has all this matter written in eleven books, each indexed and a general index
to all. In addition to this, he has obtained all the information accessible of a Historical or Descriptive character in relation to the
city or county. Books of early travel have been freely examined and anything, as to the County or Southern Ohio, noted. Every
publication which could give information in regard to subjects in the scope of the work has been freely consulted and freely quoted
from The Editor will be grateful for any information sent. The work will be divided into five parts: First, The County; 2, The
Town and City of Portsmouth; 3, The Pioneers; 4, Biographical Sketches of Subscribers; 5, Pioneer Record of Southern Ohio. All
the parts will be composed of numerous topics.

Part First will have th following topics: Settlement, original timber, vegetation, animals, birds and flowers.

The geology of the county will be freely treated in plain and concise language. All mineral and soil products will be fully
described. The Commissioners' Journal, showing the organization of townships, public buildings, Special Legislation, Bridges,

Building Associations, Show Factories, Iron Works, The Crusade of 1874, and other topics too numerous to designate.

Part Four will contain the sketches of the subscribers. Each subscriber can furnish a sketch of himself or some one else
within the scope of the book. These sketches will, as far as possible, be character sketches.

Part Five will be the Pioneer Record. In this Pioneer Record adventures of the First Settlers, not heretofore published, or as
to which new facts have been obtained, will be printed. Those Pioneer subjects which would be of interest to the people of
Southern Ohio will be inserted. Prominent people of Southern Ohio, who were in the State prior to 1850, their ancestors and
descendants, will be treated of. The Black Laws of Ohio, the Fugitive Slave Law of Ohio, Transportation on the Ohio River, the
Indian trails, the Pioneer traces, the first roads, the Stage Coach, the Revolutionary Soldiers of Southern Ohio will be written up

throughout. It is endorsed by the Liberary Board and the Board of Trade of Portsmouth, Ohio.

All persons interested in the scope of the book are asked to aid its publication.

The work will not be printed until the number of subscribers necessary to guarantee its publication are obtained, and none
but those subscribed for will be published.
