OHIO.
Printing was introduced into this state at Cincinnati in
1795, by S. Freeman & Son; and they published a newspaper.
A second newspaper was published at that place in 1799.
Then a press was established at Marietta, from which was
issued The Ohio Gazette; and, there are now (1810), other
newspapers published in the state; particularly two or
three at Chillicothe.[1]
The Ohio Patriot, a newspaper published in 1811, contains the following
remark, "The progress of population in the state of Ohio is truly astonishing.
Large districts of country, extending hundreds of miles, over which
one of the editors wandered thirteen years ago, amid the gloom of the
groves, without viewing 'the human face divine,' except in the persons
of his military companions, or the solitary Indian hunter, are now covered
with populous towns, in several of which newspapers are published."
