The notion that there was a definable group of intellectuals that should be called "the Ohio Hegelians" originated with this book, Loyd Easton's Hegel's First American Followers: the Ohio Hegelians (1966). Easton's extensive research and penetrating analysis of the lives and writings of John Stallo (1823-1900) , Peter Kaufmann (1800-1869) , Moncure Conway (1832-1907) , and August Willich (1810-1878) , persuasively demonstrate that there was a group of intellectuals in Ohio during the mid to late nineteenth century that are worthy of the attention of historians and present-day philosophers. Even so, the Ohio Hegelians continue to be neglected because their writings are difficult to access, and, as with other American Hegelians, scholars know little about the complex philosophical details of the American reception of Hegel.
