The book aims to provide an overview of Ohio's rich history, spanning from its ancient Ice Age inhabitants through the colonial era and the tumultuous years of conflict between Native Americans and European settlers. The opening chapters detail the Ice Age's impact on the region and the subsequent emergence of the Mound Builders, as well as the arrival of French settlers in the Ohio territory.  The opening of this work introduces the ancient history of Ohio, beginning with the Ice Age and the people known as the Ice Folk, who likely lived in the region as it was covered by glaciers. Howells describes the remnants of their existence through their tools and survival methods. As the narrative progresses, he transitions into the Mound Builders, exploring their sophisticated earthworks and the mysteries surrounding their civilization. The rich tapestry of Ohio's past unfolds, highlighting both the indigenous cultures and the European contact that would shape the state's development, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the stories that define Ohio's legacy.
