- W163048308 abstract "It is not surprising that besides the family Bible, few books or libraries are mentioned in early Ohio wills, for life on the frontier demanded that one devote full attention to life's essentials. For most, this meant the acquisition of a piece of land and the construction of a home. It is such proprietary bequests, therefore, that dominate early Ohio wills. One does discover, however, that the early doctors and lawyers of Ohio frequently made provision for the safekeeping of their medical and legal libraries, transferring the intellectual tools of their trade to individuals or institutions fit to preserve such an accumulated wealth of knowledge. One can also find the family of a similarly prominent, early Ohioan who was the subject of a biographer's pen, seeking to will his published life story to posterity. Less frequently, but perhaps more interestingly, early Ohioans whose individual livelihoods did not involve the establishment of professional libraries also occasionally mentioned private book collections in their wills, apparently valuing such volumes among their most prized possessions. On the rarest of occasions, one finds an individual or two who, when contemplating his imminent demise, seeks to establish a library as a gift to his fellow man. It is the purpose of this paper to examine those wills which contain literary bequests and determine, if possible, the place which literature occupied in the life of the bequeather. The possible influence or impact of such bequests upon the community will also be noted." @default.
