Excerpt from The Agricultural and Mineral Resources of Muskingum County
This Pamphlet has been prepared at the instance of "the Board of Trade," of Zanesville, Ohio, a citizens' association, organized for the purpose of fostering, protecting and advancing, the manufacturing and commercial interests of the city and vicinity. Its purpose is to present a statement of the agricultural and mineral resources of Muskingum County, with some account of the advantages, capabilities, commercial and manufacturing interests, rail road and water facilities, prospects and attractions, etc., etc., of Zanesville, its capital town. The effort has been to furnish information fully and entirely reliable. The public may rest assured that any statement herein contained can be depended upon. All exaggerated accounts of the resources of the County, and the advantages of the city for trade and the employment of capital, have been carefully avoided. Each citizen is supposed to possess a certain degree of pride in the place of his nativity or adoption, and this is pardonable: - it is, indeed, praiseworthy: but this should not exist to an extent to mislead strangers, or give a coloring not warranted by facts. The want of correct information on the part of capitalists seeking investments or persons on the lookout for new homes, is a matter of no small consequence. It is a matter of remark, too, that, in respect to this community, such information has not hitherto been furnished, and it exhibits, on the part of its citizens, a neglect of duty in not making known, in a proper manner, the advantages for the employment of capital and skilled labor, and the attractions for residence, which here exist.
