Notables of Harrison County, Ohio,
By Dr. Larry Corbett (Scottsdale, Arizona, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Notables of Harrison County, Ohio (Studies in Local and Institutional History) (Hardcover)
I am a native of Harrison County and lived there until college. I was absolutely amazed and impressed with the Notables of Harrison County, Ohio. Many of the families are familiar to me, but I had no idea of their ancestors' accomplishment. I found it easy to read about one or two people at a sitting. I had no idea of the international impact people from such a small county could have. Two people have mountains named for them. The inventor of tire rims lived in Cadiz. There were many black people in the area as a result of the underground railroad. A small newspaper editor took on the fight for reclaimation after strip mining began. I never realized there was a town called Tappan -- what happened to it? Nor that there were once colleges in Hopedale and Scio. It was really an informative book which I enjoyed immensely.
