Washington County, and the Early Settlement of Ohio: Being the Centennial Historical Address, Before the Citizens of Washington County; Marietta, Ohio, July 4th, 1876 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Washington County, and the Early Settlement of Ohio: Being the Centennial Historical Address, Before the Citizens of Washington County; Marietta, Ohio, July 4th, 1876

The invitation with which I have been honored, to address my fellow citizens of Washington County on this Centennial Independence day, does not allow me to Speak at length of national questions, or national pro gress; but confines me for the most part to what per tains to the origin and development of our own county.

It is an honor to be the orator on this day, for this, the oldest county in the great N orth-west, bearing the name of the one man whom all Americans hold in rev erence; whose history, more than that of any other, is interwoven with the history of the State.
