Originally published in three-volumes by Lewis Publishing Company in 1917, this reprint contains a seventeen-page pioneer history of the county followed by biographical sketches of Allen County settlers. Although a reprint, all pages are clear, crisp, and easy to read [you won't need a magnifying glass or 'E.S.P' to interpret]. And, we've added a full-name index for easy look-ups. Also included are eight **8** old maps of Ohio:

• 1. The United States in 1783 [Includes what is now Ohio]
• 2. Development of Ohio Counties from 1787-1792
• 3. Development of Ohio Counties from 1796-1799
• 4. Ohio, 1792
• 5. Development of Ohio Counties, 1799
• 6. Ohio Counties, 1802
• 7. Ohio in 1834
• 8. Historical Sites in Northwest Ohio

A great resource for Allen researchers or historians.
