Barzilla R. Shaw (1836-1935) was born in a log cabin near
Coshocton, Ohio, and died in that city at the age of 99. He lived
to see his little town grow from 250 inhabitants to a city of
12,000. Barzilla was a farmer, merchant, Civil War veteran, local
civic leader, and devoted family man. When he died he was the
oldest resident of the city and the oldest Civil War veteran in
Ohio. Although he quit school to make his own way at age 14,
Barzilla left a wealth of written material. He submitted numerous
editorial letters and poems to the local newspaper, kept daily
journals at various periods, filled notebooks with biographical
sketches, poems, lists of local Civil War veterans, family trees
and much more. A collection of these writings was assembled for
this book, including a "Biographical Sketch of My Life," a list of
Coshocton businesses in the year 1854, a Shaw family tree, an
annotated transcription of his Civil War diary, family photographs,
and much more. Indexed.
