Excerpt from Scioto Sketches: An Account of Discovery and Settlement of Scioto County, Ohio There is the charm of adventure in the story of an explorer. The nearer the pathway of the explorer may be to one's home, the more intense is the charm. Explor ers from France were the first white men to enter the Ohio Valley and descend the Ohio River. One of the points of unusual interest to them was the country about the mouth of the Scioto River. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

When Scioto County was established in March 1803, no one could have imagined the wide-ranging series of events that would encompass its history for the next 200-plus years. Situated in south-central Ohio along the Ohio River, the region experienced incredible prosperity with the Ohio and Erie Canal and later the railroads during the 1800s. In the early 1900s, shoe factories, steel mills, and brick plants produced jobs and merchandise that benefitted millions. Unfortunately, economic hardship followed in the latter half of the 20th century when these factories and many others closed. While some say the best days have come and gone, many would strongly disagree. Every day, men and women work hard to make Scioto County as proud and prosperous as ever before.
