Description: Governor Ethan Allen Brown delivered an annual message to the General Assembly of Ohio on Dec. 5, 1820. These eight pages are excerpted from the 1820/1821 Senate Journal. Brown (1776-1852), a Democratic-Republican, served as the seventh governor of Ohio, from 1818 to 1822. When he took office, Ohio was suffering from an economic depression, and Brown worked to bring the state toward financial recovery.
