"The documents range from an Indian captivity narrative to narratives of exploration to records left by a missionary to a young girl's remarkable record of growing up on the "frontier" to accounts by immigrants of life in a new world."--BOOK JACKET.
The story of the history and culture of a people is often told through regional literature. Anthology of Western Reserve Literature, a companion volume to Ohio's Western Reserve, presents writings associated with northeast Ohio. Funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Ohio Historical Society through the American Association of State and Local History, this anthology broadly represents the variety of literary genre and ethnic and economic pluralism of the region over a 180-year period.

Hudson is in many ways a typical village of the Western Reserve, that stretch of northern Ohio formerly claimed by Connecticut and settled in the early nineteenth century by adventurous Yankees. It retains its central New England village green, much of its Greek Revival and Federal architecture, its history as a pioneer settlement, farm center, small town, and commuter haven. It is special, though, in the pride and care it takes of its historical heritage. Today the village is a showplace of its region, and its history is the particularized history of the Western Reserve.
