These narratives were minute and full; they were derived from contemporaries who had themselves been concerned in these affairs. They were revised and compared with other relations, and they were set down with a desire to have nothing but the truth exhibited-a quality rare at any age or in any country, but…the distinguishing feature of McBride's mind. Next to these in value were the newspapers preserved by the daughters of C. K. Smith, and those to be found in the auditor's office. Although the files are not complete, they afford a vast repertory of information, extending from 1820 down to the present day. In the records of the county, kept in the various public offices, are documents bearing on many phases of frontier life, and it is to these sources the historian must chiefly resort.\" This history also presents the history of each township within the county including Hamilton, Reily, Morgan, Hanover, Ross, Fairfield, Liberty, Oxford, St. Clair, Milford, Union, Madison, Wayne, Lemon.
