Book excerpt: Gist, Virginia agent to the Ohio Land Company, was the first person to provide a written description, in English, based on his observations of the Dayton area in 1751. This Miami Valley area was considered an "earthly paradise;" however, through continuous conflicts over land possession between settlers and Indians, it came to be known as the "Miami slaughter-house" by the close of the eighteenth century. The authors have gathered a wealth of information from conversations and correspondence with descendants of pioneers, historical texts, periodicals and Dayton academy records. Brief accounts of individual early settlers, including Daniel C. Cooper and Benjamin Van Cleve, provide insight into daily life in Dayton and offer an abundance of names and events. Individual buildings and locations are described in the context of the community. Chapters detailing the evolution of Dayton are grouped by date, and touch on numerous inhabitants-from the first male child, john W. Van Cleve, born June 27, 1801, to the death of prominent citizen, Robert Steele. In 1891, Dayton's involvement in the Civil War is given individual attention, and the sentiment of its citizens is clearly expressed: "When Sumpter fell, the excitement in Dayton was painful in its intensity. The people were full of just wrath, and eager to avenge the insult to the flag." Numerous photos, illustrations and maps enrich this work. The final chapter is devoted to historical and statistical tables, and includes a chronological record of events, 1749-1896.

Book excerpt: The feel-good underdog story of the first American swimmer to win Olympic gold, set against the turbulent rebirth of the modern Games, that “bring[s] to life an inspiring figure and illuminate[s] an overlooked chapter in America’s sports history” (The Wall Street Journal) “Once or twice in a decade, one of these stories . . . like Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken [or] Daniel Brown’s The Boys in the Boat . . . captures the imagination of the public. . . . Add The Watermen by Michael Loynd to this illustrious list.”—Swimming World Winner of the International Swimming Hall of Fame’s Paragon Award and the Buck Dawson Authors Award In the early twentieth century, few Americans knew how to swim, and swimming as a competitive sport was almost unheard of. That is, until Charles Daniels took to the water. On the surface, young Charles had it all: high-society parents, a place at an exclusive New York City prep school, summer vacations in the Adirondacks. But the scrawny teenager suffered from extreme anxiety thanks to a sadistic father who mired the family in bankruptcy and scandal before abandoning Charles and his mother altogether. Charles’s only source of joy was swimming. But with no one to teach him, he struggled with technique—until he caught the eye of two immigrant coaches hell-bent on building a U.S. swim program that could rival the British Empire’s seventy-year domination of the sport. Interwoven with the story of Charles’s efforts to overcome his family’s disgrace is the compelling history of the struggle to establish the modern Olympics in an era when competitive sports were still in their infancy. When the powerful British Empire finally legitimized the Games by hosting the fourth Olympiad in 1908, Charles’s hard-fought rise climaxed in a gold-medal race where British judges prepared a trap to ensure the American upstart’s defeat. Set in the early days of a rapidly changing twentieth century, The Watermen—a term used at the time to describe men skilled in water sports—tells an engrossing story of grit, of the growth of a major new sport in which Americans would prevail, and of a young man’s determination to excel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of the History of Dayton, Ohio, 1796-1896 IF Dayton's centennial is properly to be observed, the schools including the three hundred teachers and the more than ten thousand boys and girls - must fill an important place and take a leading part. The children of to-day should become acquainted with the past, and duly recognize the planning and struggles that have made present advantages possible. Besides, every one who is to become a useful citizen must be led to cherish a local pride and public spirit such as a worthy celebration of the founding and growth of the city will surely tend to promote. The Board of Education have therefore provided that necessary books be supplied to the various schools and that a souvenir book let containing an outline history of the city be put into the hands of each teacher and pupil. Class exercises, covering the history of Dayton and extending through a number of weeks, will be con ducted by the teachers, the course to be followed with a suitable celebration in all of the schools. Through the kindness of Miss Mary D. Steele, author of the volume entitled Early Dayton, and of Mr. W. J. Shuey, the publisher of the same, the following summary of history and excellent illustrations, chiefly taken from said volume, are made available. The Board desire to congratulate the teachers and pupils and the general public on the prosperity of the past, and to express the hope that higher successes will crown the years to come.
