It was a county before Ohio was a state.
Proclaimed on July 29, 1797, Jefferson County stood at the river gateway into the Northwest Territory - Fort Steuben on the bluff, surveyors running the Seven Ranges, steamboats tying the Ohio River towns to the world. Then, in 1817, a tiny Quaker village in its hills did something no place in America had done: Mount Pleasant published The Philanthropist, the first newspaper in the nation demanding an end to slavery.
Jefferson County: River, Steel and Conscience tells the whole story in order, with nothing skipped - Mingo Town and the Yellow Creek killings told plainly, Benjamin Lundy and the Underground Railroad, Edwin Stanton, Lincoln's Secretary of War, Moses Fleetwood Walker stepping onto a major league field with nothing hidden, coal and clay and steel, Dean Martin singing his way out of Steubenville, the hard years when the mills went quiet, and a river town painting murals and raising a Nutcracker Village to begin again.
Book Four of a history of all eighty-eight Ohio counties.
