Ohio

Brothers from Dayton gave us flight, and nearly seven decades later, a man from Wapakoneta set foot on the moon. Flip open one of our Ohio history books at random and you might run into Thomas Edison, LeBron James, one of eight U.S. Presidents. From a stroll down the once majestic Millionaires’ Row in Cleveland to a harrowing rollercoaster ride at Geauga Lake, from the sordid past of Steubenville to the famous Cincinnati chili, there’s something for every Buckeye in our Ohio history books.

McPherson, political cartoonist James Albert Wales, author Sherwood Anderson, and World War II hero Rodger Young. The images in this volume provide windows into Clyde's storied history and offer glimpses of the everyday moments shared by its citizens.

Cincinnati's Great Disasters explores catastrophes from 1905 to 1937, featuring floods, tornadoes, fires, explosions, winter storms, and crashes. Although tragic, disasters became popular postcard subjects in the early 1900s, with many of these photograph postcards being taken by professional photographers. The postcards documenting the 1907 and 1913 floods make up the bulk of this book, as these disasters dramatically affected Cincinnatians' lives and led to innovative flood prevention planning and health initiatives. Flooding ultimately determined where businesses and residences were located in the city and was a driving force behind urban renewal of the riverfront.
