"Thunder Before the Dawn" is his second solo book writing effort. His first work was "Thunder in the Valley". Published in 1984, it was the story of the 18 hours General John Hunt Morgan and his Confederate Cavalry invaded Clermont County Ohio during the War Between the States. He has also helped write many other works including the history of his hometown of Amelia and the history of the village of Owensville and contributed to many other historical works about Clermont County.

"Lightning Across the River and US Grant: Clermont County's Most Noted Son" is Crawford's first work since his critically acclaimed "Thunder Before the Dawn".

"Uneasy Spirits" continues his chronicle of the county, following his critically acclaimed "Thunder Before the Dawn" and "Lightning Across the River & U.S. Grant: Clermont County's Most Noted Son."

This review is from: Uneasy Spirits: Ghost Stories & Haunted Places of Clermont County, Ohio (Library Binding)

This book is very interesting and well written. It has pictures which is a good plus. The thing that makes this a good, spooky book is that the stories are local. They are stories that could be similiar right in your own home town. What also makes it a good book is that it was written by someone who lives in the area where the stories take place and he is also the county historian, so the stories come pretty much straight from the source. This is a great book I very much reccomend it.
