Ohio in the First War Army of the Revolution remembered
W P Cutler outlines the Continental Line’s role in founding Ohio settlements. He recalls logistics shortages after Yorktown, the petition for land warrants, and the Ohio Company’s push to establish forts, surveys, and a frontier state under the Northwest Ordinance.

When Ohio became a state a historical dispute
The article argues Ohio did not require a territorial period to be a state. It traces the 1787 Northwest Ordinance division, the 1802 constitution, and the 1803 acts. Congress must ratify, not just state conventions, to admit a state. It notes 1803 as the date of statehood and questions Jefferson’s lack of a formal proclamation.

Books by Ohio Authors Exhibit Aim
An effort will seek a copy of every book by an Ohio author for the exposition and cataloging for Ohio residents. Ohio has not led in authorship but has produced notable thinkers whose volumes will form an engaging exhibit that Buckeyes will view with pride.
