Download or read book The Covered Bridges of Ashtabula County Ohio written by Carl E. Feather and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When its first covered bridge was constructed on the Ashtabula-Trumbull Turnpike in 1832, Ashtabula County was closer to frontier than a "new Connecticut." Its rutted roads promised adventure and suggested prosperity but also great hardship. Covered bridges, made mostly of local timber, would eventually soften the brutality of travel, isolation and a well-watered landscape. Their proliferation and preservation gave Ashtabula County the nickname "Covered Bridge Capital of the Western Reserve." Admire both famous and forgotten crossings with Carl E. Feather, who has spent over a quarter century mired in muddy creek beds, camera in hand, waiting for the perfect light."

Download or read book Ohio Train Disasters written by Jane Ann Turzillo and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nearly a century of heavy rail travel in Ohio, a dozen train accidents stand out as the most horrific. In the bitter cold, just after Christmas 1876, eleven cars plunged seventy-five feet into the frigid water below. The stoves burst into flames, burning to death all who were not killed by the fall. Fires cut short the lives of forty-three people in the head-on Doodlebug collision in Cuyahoga Falls in 1940 and eleven people in a train wreck near Dresden in 1912. Author Jane Ann Turzillo unearths these red-hot stories of ill-fated passengers, heroic trainmen and the wrecking crews who faced death and destruction on Ohio's rails.

Download or read book Lake Effect written by Bernadette Colicchio Dawson and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Besides being the title of this book, Lake Effect is a term that everyone in Northeast Ohio knows. It happens when frigid air from Canada dips south, picks up water from Lake Erie, freezes it at high altitude, and then, to the delight of kids hoping for school cancellations, dumps it in the form of snow as soon as it reaches the shoreline in Ashtabula, Ohio. Lake Effect, the book, touches upon the psychological and emotional impact of growing up in Ashtabula, a blue-collar town with a huge port, major chemical and manufacturing plants, a culturally diverse population, and a spider web of railroad tracks feeding into ships in the harbor. Told in fifty-eight vignettes through the eyes of an Italian American girl and a Finnish American boy (at a time when weddings between people of those crosstown cultures were considered mixed marriages), the book offers a glimpse into small-town America in the 1950s and 1960s. As beneficiaries of the work ethic of their parents and immigrant grandparents, the authors pay tribute to family and friends who provided example and advice (sometimes unheeded) during their coming of age years.
Download or read book Ashtabula written by David Borsvold and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ashtabula, Ohio has long been a major Great Lakes port city. During the peak of its harbor traffic in the early to middle 20th century, Ashtabula was a shipping and railroading boom town that thundered with the sounds of coal and iron ore transport. Immigrants from several nations came to work at the city's docks and chemical plants, creating a unique ethnic mix full of Old World heritage and traditions that gave the area its identity. Prepared in cooperation with Ashtabula Great Lakes and Coast Guard Memorial Museum, this book offers fascinating photographic images of Ashtabula ships, trains, buildings, and people, primarily from the boom era, which began in the 1870s and lasted for about a century. It concludes with a briefer look at the renaissance underway in the city today, as Ashtabula prepares to celebrate her Bicentennial along with that of the entire state of Ohio.
