Octavo, five volumes, bound in three-quarters morocco, the Seal of Ohio stamped in gilt to the front panels, top edges gilt, marbled endpapers, tissue-guarded frontispieces, title page vignettes. General Sherman's son Philemon Tecumseh Sherman’s bookplate to the front pastedown of each volume. In good condition with loses to the spines and rubbing to the extremities. General Sherman’s library was inherited by P. T.

Until now, this set was held at the family estate in Washington County, Pennsylvania.
History of Ohio: The Rise and Progress of an American State by Emilius Oviatt Randall, first published in 1912, is a multi-volume historical study that traces Ohio’s development from its early Native American inhabitants and frontier settlement through its emergence as a politically and economically influential state in the United States. Written in a period when state and regional histories were central to shaping American identity, Randall’s work combines narrative detail with documentary sources to present Ohio as a microcosm of the broader national story.
