CUYAHOGA FALLS This township is an exception to all others on the KSscrve, in having neither Range, nor Number, and contains but four and one-eighth square miles. Instead of being five miles square, as are all the other Townships, this is only one and a fourth miles square, being the whole of Tract one, and forty rods wide on the North side of Tract five, originally in Tallmadge, and one eighth of a mile square from lots one, two, eleven, and twelve, in Stow; half a mile east and west, and one mile north and south, from lots eight and nine in Northampton, and one and a half miles east and west from the west part of Tract two in Portage. The Township is composed of the corners of four Townships, and was organized into a Township in April, 1851, for the purpose of accommodating the large and increasing business of the village of Cuyahoga Falls. Being thus taken from the corners of four Townships, it possesses no distinct range, nor number of its own, but lies in ranges ten and eleven, and townships two and three. As its name imports, it is on the falls of the Cuyahoga river, which here commence and continue for over two miles.--In this distance are three perpendicular falls--the upper one, near the village, is about twelve feet; the second, sixteen feet; the lower, or "Big Falls," twenty-two feet. Besides these there are continuous rapids the whole distance, forming some of the best water-power in the world. The river has cut a channel through the rocks from eighty to one hundred feet in depth, through which it rushes, among the fragments of rocks that have fallen from above, forming the most sublime scenery in Northern Ohio. The railroad runs on the very verge of this precipice, offering to a traveler a view of the wilderness of Nature in...

Download or read book A Scattered People written by Gerald McFarland and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The movement of millions of ordinary people westward across the American continent was one of the great folk migrations of all time, stretching over two centuries and thousands of hard-traveled miles. Using a canvas as broad as the country itself, Gerald McFarland turns this journey into a resonant personal experience by retelling the stories of five generations of a single, real family—who are, in fact, his own pioneer ancestors. A Scattered People is a true-life saga that takes us from colonial settlements along the east coast to the California shore at the dawn of the twentieth century. Its cast is as rich as a historical novel’s: a born-again Christian farmer in eighteenth-century Connecticut; a Davy Crockettish rifleman in frontier Virginia; an infantryman at Antietam; a bold teen-age girl who forsakes Kansas for a New Mexico schoolhouse. They become our witnesses for the era’s key events: the American Revolution, the Indian wars, the Gold Rush, Bleeding Kansas and Harper’s Ferry, the Civil War, the Chicago Fire, booms and busts, political battles and technological upheavals. By fits and starts, by foot and oxen, covered wagon and rail, the succeeding generations make their way west, and we watch a family tree—and a nation—develop and grow. What motivated men and women to take the risks of such moves, and what actually awaited them in each new home? By recreating in close focus that fundamental act of democratic aspiration—pulling up stakes and moving west—A Scattered People gives us an intimate and surprising new sense of the meaning of the American Dream.
