Book Description
Excerpt from Reprint of "Recollections of Cincinnati" The reproduction of Recollections of Cincinnati, by Gor ham A. Worth, is largely owing to the author's attractive and racy manner of recounting his impressions of the city and its inhabitants, received while a resident there in early days. This, taken in connection with the evidence obtained of the scarcity of existing copies of this small publication, seems to justify a reprint.

Book Description
Daniel Aaron, one of todays foremost scholars of American history and American studies, began his career in 1942 with this classic study of Cincinnati in frontier days. Aaron argues that the Queen City quickly became an important urban center that in many ways resembled eastern cities more than its own hinterlands, with a populace united by its desire for economic growth. Aaron traces Cincinnati's development as a mercantile and industrial center during a period of intense national political and social ferment. The city owed much of its success as an urban center to its strategic location on the Ohio River and easy access to fertile backcountry. Despite an early over-reliance on commerce and land speculation and neglect of manufacturing, by 1838 Cincinnati's basic industries had been established and the city had outstripped her Ohio River rivals. Aaron's account of Cincinnati during this tumultuous period details the ways in which Cincinnatians made the most of commerce and manufacturing, how they met their civic responsibilities, and how they survived floods, fires, and cholera. He goes on to discuss the social and cultural history of the city during this period, including the development of social hierarchies, the operations of the press, the rage for founding societies of all kinds, the response of citizens to national and international events, the commercial elite's management of radicals and nonconformists, the nature of popular entertainment and serious culture, the efforts of education, and the messages of religious institutions. For historians, particularly those interested in urban and social history, Daniel Aaron's view of Cincinnati offers a rare opportuniry to viewantebellum American society in a microcosm, along with all of the institutions and attitudes that were prevalent in urban America during this important time.

Excerpt from Cincinnati in 1841: Its Early Annals and Future Prospects On the other hand, I knew that awork of this kind, to fulfil, in any just degree, the expectations it raised, must make its appearance within a reasonable period, and before the information it should afford might be present ed ih other channels to the public; and thus, with but four months' time for preparing this work, which most persons would probably think ample space for the pur pose, I have found myself hurried in my employment, to a degree which must account for, if it may not excuse, that want of order in arrangement, and those defects in composition, which greater leisure would have corrected.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Suburbs of Cincinnati: Sketches, Historical and Descriptive The matter contained in all but the concluding chapter of these sketches appeared substantially in the Cincinnati Daily Gazette, during the years 1868-9. The original papers were prepared by the author with much care; and at the time of their appearance, as well as since, many desires were expressed for their publication in a more enduring form. Since the original sketches were written, great changes have occurred in the surroundings then considered by the extension of the city limits. On the twenty-eighth of February, 1870, the final transcripts and other papers were transmitted to the Secretary of State and the Recorder of Hamilton county for the annexation of all of Storrs township with the exception of the territory embraced within the incorporated village of Riverside. On the same day similar steps were taken for the annexation of the territory in Spencer township, lying between the eastern boundary of Cincinnati and the western boundary of the village of Columbia, including the village of Pendleton. The last papers for the annexation of Walnut Hills, Vernonvillage, Mount Auburn and Corryville, were transmitted on the twelfth day of March.
