Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Dove, of Virginia, was granted a quarter section (160 acres) of land in Canal Winchester, Ohio, around 1802 and moved his family there in 1811. Prior to his death, Dove divided his land equally between his two sons, Reuben and Jacob. In 1827, the Ohio and Erie Canal was routed through Reuben Dove's wheat field. After protesting the proposed canal route, Reuben threatened to sue the state. Canal workers suggested that Reuben plat a town and sell lots, and in 1828, Reuben--along with John Colman--did so. They named the town Winchester, since Reuben's father had lived in Winchester, Virginia. Benefiting from the area's fertile soil, canal, railroad, interurban, and roadways, Canal Winchester, Ohio, would grow and thrive as an agricultural community.

Download or read book Little Ohio written by Kieran Robertson and published by Adventure Publications. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 1246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ohio’s small towns have great stories. Little Ohio presents 100 of the state’s tiniest towns and most miniature villages. With populations under 500, these charming and unique locations dot the entire state—from Lake Seneca in the Northwest corner to Neville, bordering the Ohio River and the state of Kentucky. Little Ohio even ventures into Lake Erie, telling the story of Put-in-Bay. The selected locations help readers to appreciate the broader history of small-town life in Ohio. Yet each featured town boasts a distinct narrative, as unique as the citizens who call these places home. Some villages offer hundreds of years of history, such as Tarlton, laid out before Ohio had even gained statehood. Others were built with more expedience, such as Yankee Lake, a town that was incorporated simply so its founder could host dances on Sundays without breaking state law. With full-color photographs, fun facts, and fascinating details about every locale, it’s almost as if you’re walking down Main Street, waving hello to folks who know you by name. These residents are innovators, hard workers, and—most of all—good neighbors. They’re people who have piled into small school houses to wait out roaring flood waters, rebuilt after disastrous fires took their homes, and captured bandits straight out of the Wild West. Little Ohio, written by lifelong resident Kieran Robertson, is for anyone who grew up in a small town and for everyone who takes pride in being called an Ohioan. It’s one book with one hundred places to love.

This book was released on 2021-10-03 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone goes through the wilderness. But not everyone makes it to the promised land. We all know what it's like to feel trapped in the most painful seasons of life. To taste the tears, wince under the pain, and watch our best days fade away into the past. In other words, we know what it's like to feel stuck in a desert. Fortunately, there's hope. The words inside are liquid hope to drink while you walk through whatever wilderness you're in. You'll laugh and you'll cry. Light bulbs will pop in your mind, strength will flood your soul, and direction will surge to your feet. And in the end, you'll find a way out. In refreshing honesty and down-to-earth style, Russ draws revelation, humor and strength from his own story along with a strange people out of the pages of Scripture who endured their own wilderness journey. He paints a compelling picture to lead us out of the fog and agony of our toughest seasons and into new places of perspective, clarity, healing and courage. You may be in the fight of your life. But you don't have to die there. Nor do you just have to survive. You can learn how to thrive. In fact, your best days just may be up ahead.

Download or read book The Hocking Valley Railway written by Edward H. Miller and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The first comprehensive history of the Hocking Valley Railway ever published fills a gap in the literature. Miller has written the definitive history of this railroad,” says Richard Francaviglia, author of Hard Places: Reading the Landscape of America's Historic Mining Districts. The Hocking Valley Railway was once Ohio's longest rail line, filled with a seemingly endless string of coal trains. Although coal was the main business, the railroad also carried iron and salt-and kept the finest passenger service in the State of Ohio. Despite the fact that the Hocking Valley was such a large railroad, with a huge economic and social impact, very little is known about it.The Hocking Valley Railway traces the journey of a company that began in 1867 as the Columbus and Hocking Valley, built to haul coal from Athens to Columbus. Extensions of the line and consolidation of several branches ultimately created the Columbus, Hocking Valley and Toledo. This was a 345-mile railway, extending from the Lake Erie port of Toledo through Columbus, and on to the Ohio River port of Pomeroy. The history of the Hocking Valley, as with other railroads, is one of boom times and depression. By the 1920s, the Hocking fields were largely depleted, and the mass of track south of Columbus became a backwater, while the Toledo Division boomed. The corporate name has been gone for more than three quarters of a century, but the Hocking Valley lives on as an integral part of railroad successor CSX. Historians and railroad enthusiasts will find much to savor in the story of this ever-changing company and the managers who ran it. The Hocking Valley Railway, complete with more than 150 photographs and illustrations, also documents a historic transformation in Midwest transportation from slow canalboats to speedy railcars.The author, Edward H. Miller is retired from Hocking Valley successor CSX. This is his first book, which has been over thirty years in the making.
