Journal and Letters of Col. John May, of Boston: Relative to Two Journeys to the Ohio Country in 1788 and 89; With a Biographical Sketch (Classic Reprint)

The Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio offers to its members and the public the Journal and Letters of Col. John May as the first volume of a new series of publications. The old series was interrupted in 1854 never renewed. The present volume describes a journey from Boston to Marietta in 1788, and the daily life of the first settlers of Ohio. As it is a record made at the time the events occurred which it describes, the book is a valuable contribution to the history of the State. The Society is indebted to Jev. Richard S. Edcs, of Bolton, Massachusetts, grandson of Col. May, for permission to publish the Journal. The same gentleman also kindly prepared the memoir which precedes the Journal itself. William M. Darlington, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has added the notes. The Society returns thanks to both of these gentlemen for their kindness.
