Pedestrian feats and daily labors in early 1800s Ohio
In Stark County old resident Charles H. King recalls 1830s Ohio mobility and labor norms. He describes two young cousins walking from Wooster to Massillon and beyond, detailing meals and wages, the era’s rail and road context, and the widespread duties and pay of spinning girls, milking, churning, and housekeeping as part of household labor.
