Excerpt from History of the Western Reserve, Vol. 3 Hon. James C. Johnson was the Son of Daniel and Elizabeth (crabtree) Johnson. His father and mother were natives of Allegheny county, Maryland, where they were married and resided for some years and where an elder brother and sister of the subject of this sketch were born. They came to Ohio in 1802, before Ohio had arrived at the dignity of statehood, the father driving a wagon conveying their scanty belongings and the mother traveling on horseback with the children over the moun tains of West Virginia, then still a part of the Old Dominion. It was before the days of bridges, and they forded the Ohio river, the young mother performing this feat on horse back with a child in her arms. Tradition says that she crossed the Ohio three times in this manner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Myers' History of West Virginia, Vol. 1 of 2 To The Public: There arc several reasons why this book was written. Firstly - There is no single volume or set of volumes which contains an up-to-date history of West Virginia. Lewis History is the nearest approach. It is a good one. and fairly supplies the purpose for which it was intended, namely: a text book for use in the public schools; but the information it contains is in such abbreviated form and omits so many subjects that are really of such historical importance as to emphasize the need of a book of more extensive detail and covering a wider scope of information for the use of the general reading public. Secondly - There was need of a book which would revive and help perpetuate the memory of some almost forgotten heroes and heroines who opened and made easier the way for the succeeding generations of people. Thirdly - There was need of a record winch would bring forth to the minds of the present and succeeding generations some general idea of the manners and customs of the early settlers and the hardships endured and dangers encountered by them. Fourthly - There was need of a book which should bring to light some unwritten history and a new version of some things already chronicled; and Lastly - The attainment of these objects at a minimum cost to the reader.
