Book Description
Ever look at a modern skyscraper or a vacant lot and wonder what was there before? Or maybe you have passed an old house and been curious about who lived there long ago. This richly illustrated new book celebrates Columbus, Ohio’s, two-hundred-year history and supplies intriguing stories about the city’s buildings and celebrated citizens, stopping at individual addresses, street corners, parks, and riverbanks where history was made. As Columbus celebrates its bicentennial in 2012, a guide to local history is very relevant. Like Columbus itself, the city’s history is underrated. Some events are of national importance; no one would deny that Abraham Lincoln’s funeral procession down High Street was a historical highlight. But the authors have also included a wealth of social and entertainment history from Columbus’s colorful history as state capital and destination for musicians, artists, and sports teams. The book is divided into seventeen chapters, each representing a section of the city, including Statehouse Square, German Village, and Franklinton, the city’s original settlement in 1797. Each chapter opens with an entertaining story that precedes the site listings. Sites are clearly numbered on maps in each section to make it easy for readers to visit the places that pique their interest. Many rare and historic photos are reproduced along with stunning contemporary images that offer insight into the ways Columbus has changed over the years. A Historical Guidebook to Old Columbus invites Columbus’s families to rediscover their city with a treasure trove of stories from its past and suggests to visitors and new residents many interesting places that they might not otherwise find. This new book is certain to amuse and inform for years to come.

Book Description
From the enigmatic Moundbuilders who left their mark in the heart of the Buckeye State to the National Road and Ohio Canal that drew an influx of settlers to the burgeoning capital, Columbus blossomed into an industrial hub that became the world's largest producer of buggies. The Arch City--with its illuminated streetcar arches curving gracefully through downtown--struggled through social and political unrest to thrive on its economic success and grow into a diversified capital city.

Book Description
Excerpt from The City of Columbus, the Capital of Ohio, and the Great Railway Center of the State The Columbus Board of Trade, representing the public in terests of said city, and being thoroughly persuaded that no place on this continent is better located as a manufacturing center, or has greater business advantages, than Columbus, Ohio, desires to set forth a few facts and figures, that the busi ness men and manufacturers of less favored localities may be guided to a goodly haven, 'where there is no limit to terri tory, and where exist all the elements which tend toward success in any honorable calling. It was desired that a full and complete showing of all the industries of Columbus should be set forth in this work, but the time for its publica tion being fixed before the necessary research had been com pleted, compels an inadequate and curtailed statement. Enough, however, is given to show forth the extensive na ture of the manufacturing and mercantile business here, and to satisfy any thinking man that the resources hereabouts are not to be surpassed. A glance at the wonderful net-work of railroad lines in and out of Ohio's capital, is sufficient to carry conviction to everybody that this is a grand point to radiate from.
