Thumbs up David McCulllough's "The Pioneers".

David McCullough’s Idealistic Settlers - The New York Times

Quite an interesting and well written book about the settlement of Ohio.

Just finished this history book about the pioneers in the Ohio river valley. Quite an exciting and informative read. Aaron Burr - Wikipedia

His stuff about Aaron Burr and a rich couple who lived near Marietta, Ohio was quite fascinating. Burr conspiracy - Wikipedia

Harman Blennerhassett - Wikipedia

Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park - Wikipedia

Yep. We visited Blennerhassett and got all this Burr history. Very interesting. Have read lots of McCullogh's books and liked them.
