Synopsis
This book captures both the lives of the settlers and the story of General Rufus Putnam, a key figure in the settlement of the Northwest Territory. A collection of over 500 epitaphs from the Old Cemetery in Rutland, Massachusetts provides a rare glimpse into the lives of the pioneers who left their homes in New England to settle the Ohio Country. Rutland was the home of General Putnam for eight years, and the house he lived in became known as the birthplace of Ohio. The narrative traces the lives of the pioneers, the hardships they endured, and their eventual success in establishing a new life in the Northwest Territory. It also explores the themes of family, loss, and the search for a new beginning, all set against the backdrop of the American Revolution and the westward expansion of the United States.
