Smithland on the Ohio
Description
When Bodmer passed by Smithland in January, 1833, he noted that large areas of the adjoining forest had already been cleared for agriculture. About three miles below Smithland on the left bank of the Ohio stood the remains of the original settlement; this had been abandoned in favor of the site at the mouth of the Cumberland, which was more elevated and less subject to flooding
