CALEB ATWATER AS
HISTORIAN
1. The printers were Glezen and Shepard
of Cincinnati. An abbreviated title, History
of Ohio, appears on the spine of the book.

Council," American Antiquarian Society, Proceedings,
Old Series, IV (1866-68), 22.
3. Clement L. Martzolff, "Caleb
Atwater," Ohio Archaeological and Historical Quar-
terly, XIV (1905), 247-271. The article stresses Atwater's
contributions to Ohio educa-
tion.
4. Henry C. Shetrone, "Caleb
Atwater: Versatile Pioneer--A Re-Appraisal," Ohio
State Archaeological and Historical
Quarterly, LIV (1945), 87. The
strongest impression
to be gleaned from this article, but
probably not the one intended, is that Atwater was
out of place in the West.

Atwater: Pioneer Politician and Historian,"
Ohio Historical Quarterly, LXVIII (1959), 18-37. This is primarily a review of At-
water's political activities.

9. Weisenburger says that the
"first significant summary" of Ohio's past was Salmon
P. Chase's forty-eight page introduction
to his Statutes of Ohio, which was published in
three volumes from 1833 to 1835 at
Cincinnati. "Caleb Atwater," 18.
10. The General Character, Present
and Future Prospects of the People of Ohio
(Columbus, 1827), an address, and Remarks
Made on a Tour to Prairie du Chien,
Thence to Washington City, in 1829 (Columbus, 1831). Atwater's two other principal
publications are an Essay on
Education (Cincinnati, 1841), and Mysteries of Wash-
ington City During Several Months of
the Session of the 28th Congress (Washington,
1844).

12. The date usually given is 1815.
However, Atwater, in his History of Ohio (p. 26),
reports that in December 1814 he had
been on a tour of wet prairies in west central
Ohio. Having gone to New York City to
teach after graduating from Williams College
in 1804, Atwater in time completed studies for the
ministry and the law, and practiced
both before moving to Ohio at age thirty-six or
thirty-seven. He was born Christmas
Day, 1778, in North Adams,
Massachusetts. Twice married, Atwater raised a large
