Publisher's Summary

The history of Ohio is so much more than farms and factories.

Do you think there isn’t much to know about the US state of Ohio, or do you think you already know everything there is to know? Prepare to be amazed.

Ohio is quite possibly the most important state in the United States, and has a history as varied and as interesting as any ancient kingdom. The remains of ancient civilizations, the home of some of the richest human beings to ever live, grisly wars for domination, and epic struggles for freedom—Ohio’s history has it all.

From the first humans in Ohio to the great systems of canals and railroads to the development of space travel, Ohioans have been at the center of progress for many years.

Did you know that Ohio and Michigan were once at war? Did you know that the 18th, 19th, and 20th US presidents were all from Ohio? Did you know that ancient Ohioans built massive effigy mounds, and that we’re only now discovering what they mean?

Ohio has an amazing story to tell the world; you just have to listen. Delve into this audiobook on the history of Ohio and learn more about:

  • The home to many well-known companies and brands like Goodyear, Tide, Dawn, and Standard Oil.
  • The birthplace of eight US presidents. 
  • Great Native American leaders like Tecumseh, Blue Jacket, and Little Turtle.
  • American generals like “Mad” Anthony Wayne, William Henry Harrison, and Ulysses S. Grant.
  • John D. Rockefeller’s rise to power.
  • The first flights of the Wright Brothers.
  • The home of astronauts John Glenn and Neil Armstrong.
