Book Overview

The Western Reserve And The Fugitive Slave Law: A Prelude To The Civil War is a historical book written by William C. Cochran. The book explores the events that led up to the Civil War, with a focus on the Western Reserve region of Ohio and the impact of the Fugitive Slave Law. Cochran delves into the history of the Western Reserve, tracing its settlement and development, and examines the attitudes towards slavery in the region.
