The authors have gathered a wealth of information from conversations and correspondence with descendants of pioneers, historical texts, periodicals and Dayton academy records. Brief accounts of individual early settlers provide insight into daily life in Dayton and offer an abundance of names and events. Chapters detailing the evolution of Dayton are grouped by date, and touch on numerous inhabitants. Dayton's involvement in the Civil War is given individual attention. Numerous photos, illustrations and maps enrich this work. The final chapter is devoted to historical and statistical tables.
