Synopsis

Paddys Run is a small area in Butler County, in southwestern Ohio, settled primarily by Welsh immigrants in the early 19th century. Over the decades it was known also as Glendower, New London, and today as Shandon. Planned in 1872 but not completed by Roger Williams, The Saga of the Paddys Run was first published in 1945 by his nephew, Stephen Riggs Williams, a professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, not far from the small stream from which this book takes its name. This study is a compendium of pioneer Ohio history, drawing together the experiences and material culture of the Welsh settlers of Paddys Run.
