remained more than two years and an half, 

 before he obtained his liberty. During his 

 captivity, he kept a journal of the most 

 material occurrences which took place, so 

 far as circumstances would admit. Before 

 parting with him, he very politely presented 

 an extract from it, with permission to make 

 such use of it as might be thought proper. 

 Presuming this journal will be found par- 

 ticularly interesting, it is annexed to this 

 publication. 



A general account of the State of Ohio, 

 it is believed, will be acceptable to those 

 who have lands or friends in this State, or 

 who may contemplate emigrating there 

 themselves. The remarks are principally 

 confined to those, which would naturally 

 occur to a cursory traveller, passing, in 

 different directions, through the several 

 countries. It is not improbable that this 

 part of the narrative will appear the least 

 interesting to some, but to others, it is con- 

 ceived, it may be a species of information 

 that will be desirable. In the arrangement 

 of this publication, it was thought most 

 eligible to begin with the State of Ohio, 

 and proceed to the southern and western 

 parts of the country.
