The author’s thesis is that, while the early settlement of Ohio included a wide variety of people from many places, the somewhat later settlement of the Western Reserve was carried out almost exclusively by Connecticut puritans. This volume traces the westward migration of pioneers from Connecticut to an earlier settlement at Wyoming, PA, which nearly met in disaster. The Connecticut group then obtained the Western Reserve and moved there, with far more success than at Wyoming. In addition to narrating these events, the author makes a case that these Connecticut men assumed a leading role in Ohio political and cultural life, particularly in the anti-slavery movement.
