Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Timber Industries of Ohio
Settlement proceeded from the Ohio River, through the southern and southeastern foot hills, to the more productive land to the north. About 1830 an iron industry developed in southern Ohio. Furnaces in the Hanging Rock Iron Region smelted with charcoal that was made from the surrounding forest. There is evidence that some tracts of timber close to the furnaces were cut over twice by the end of the Civil War, when the industry in south ern Ohio waned.
