The book explores the early days of Dayton, Ohio, focusing on the life and establishment of Newcom Tavern, one of the first structures in the area and a significant landmark that symbolizes the pioneer spirit of American settlers. It delves into the landscape, the settlers' interactions with Native Americans, and the challenges faced in establishing a community during a tumultuous period of American history. The narrative outlines the early settlement efforts led by Colonel George Newcom, detailing the construction of the tavern in 1796, which served multiple roles—as an inn, a trading post, and the first courthouse in Montgomery County. Through the voice of John F. Edgar, a contemporary of Newcom, the book recounts vivid anecdotes about the trials of pioneer life, including treks through untamed land and dealings with local Native tribes before the Treaty of Greenville was signed. With rich detail of the tavern’s evolution and its significance in the community, the book celebrates not only the physical structure but also the broader cultural heritage of Dayton, making it a valuable resource for those interested in American frontier history.
