Reflections of the Inn:A History and Collection of Recipes A century ago women began to leave their homes in the small communities and rural areas of America to seek nontraditional work. These were young, inexperienced working women who made very low wages. The only places they could afford to live in these larger cities were near the numerous taverns and saloons. Many landlords would not rent to women, feeling that they were "too much trouble." Therefore, the social service agencies began to address this problem and directed their attention to safe, affordable homes for these young girls (as they were referred to at that time). The Anna Louise Inn, in Cincinnati, Ohio, is one of the few surviving facilities that was built during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Established in 1909, the Inn has remained a safe haven by opening its doors to a diverse population of women of all ages, from 18 years through retirement. It remains an operation of the Cincinnati Union Bethel, the oldest social service agency still in existence west of the Alleghenies. This history and cookbook was compiled for the benefit of the Anna Louise Inn. This book contains more than 300 recipes, a beautiful hardcover with satin ribbon marker, a history of the Inn by decade, an overview of women's fashion throughout the last century, and a brief history of the beginning of the Cincinnati Union Bethel.

Historical Collections of Brown County, Ohio Carl Thompson felt it was important to continue where the county's previous history (1883) left off. Therefore, he laboriously researched historic Brown County until he produced a tome that any historian or family researcher would appreciate. Originally printed in 1969 and reprinted in 1971, this book has long been out of print, the permission to bring this publication back to the public was transferred to the Brown County Genealogical Society (2003) who have made this book available once again (2004). The table of contents alone reads like an index with all the topics covered. It would be difficult to find a topic that was missed. In general, the chapters cover the following topics: settlements, towns, and villages; schools and education; waterways to the west and south; general coverage (general topics that take up more than a page); court house records; military history; prominent persons; family histories; churches and religion; cemeteries and obituaries; and minor indexes that include membership rosters from servicemen, tax lists, schools, churches, cooking clubs, and telephone directories, among others. This will be a valuable volume to add to your historical collection.

Clermont County, Ohio, 1990: A Collection of Genealogical and Historical Writings, Vol. 2 Clermont County, Ohio, Marriages, 1850-1874 History of Clermont & Brown Counties, Ohio -- 2 Volume Set History of Clermont & Brown Counties, Ohio -- Volume 2 only (Biographical) An Atlas of German Migration and America Atlas of Appalachian Trails to the Ohio River Atlas of Southern Trails to the Mississippi An Atlas of Northern Trails Westward from New England Atlas of Settlement Between Appalachian Mountains and Mississippi/Missouri Valleys An Atlas of Trails West of the Mississippi Freedom's Struggle: A Response to Slavery from the Ohio Borderlands Why has the story of the Underground Railroad captured our collective imaginations in recent years? Perhaps the answer should be--why shouldn't it? It is a story that plays out in our churches, along moonlit pathways, in courtrooms, and in dozens of darkened cellars and attics. It is a story that envelopes the human condition--altruism and greed, faith, betrayal, compassion, and courage. And it is just a darn good story--the stuff of Hollywood: mystery, intrigue, conspiracy, violence, clandestine activities, and hairbreadth escapes. But ultimately, the underground railroad is about freedom. And after all, freedom is what defines us as a people. Freedom has not always been perfectly attained, but the struggle for it has always been something we have aspired to.
Local attorney, historian, published author, and history consultant Gary L. Knepp, has done extensive research into the Underground Railroad and brings to the readers a unique perspective on the subject. This long-awaited publication focuses on the struggle for freedom in antebellum American life for both black and white Americans in their quest to make the ideals of the political system of the early to mid-1800s extend to the black community. Publication expected by late January 2008. Heroes of the Western Theater: Thirty-third Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry The Thirty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry fought disease, capture, and heavy casualties in many notable Civil War battles before heroically volunteering to reenlist.

These men fought in the battles of Chaplin Hills, Stones River, Hoovers Gap, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, Atlanta, Savannah, Averasboro, Bentonville, and Raleigh. The stories of these men are told through their letters to wives, sisters, and other family members in an engaging style that will personalize the experiences of the war. Lois J. Lambert is the winning author of the 2007 OGS Oliver Hazard Perry Award for an Ohio-related military historical record for her Ninety-first Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Hamilton County, Ohio, Burial Records, Volume 18, New St. Joseph Irish Cemetery, 1850-1894 This index of more than 30,000 early burials in New St. Joseph Cemetery, also known as the St. Joseph Irish Cemetery, was compiled from microfilm copies of the original registers which were microfilmed in the late 1980s as part of the Ohio Pioneer project. There is a gap in the existing microfilm records, and there are no burials recorded in known books or in this index for the time period from January 1856 through September 1868. This book contains LDS film numbers for burials in the New St. Joseph Cemetery; names of early lot owners; and the name of the priest who recorded his permission to bury and administered the Last Rights, thereby giving a clue to the parish where the family lived. The index also includes for the deceased the date of burial; name of deceased; range/section of burial; lot/grave of burial; place of birth; parents; age; and volume/page of the original entry. Due to lack of room, the residence and cause of death has not been included in this index, but is included in the original register. Shakers of Indiana: A West Union Reader Indiana's little-known Shaker community is brought to life in the letters and diaries of this publication. Editor Cheryl Bauer has assembled a collection of rare Shaker documents as well as accounts by William Henry Harrison and other early 19th century visitors to the village that began in Knox County, Indiana, in 1808 and closed in 1826. Two hundred years after its founding, West Union retains two historic distinctions: it was the westernmost major Shaker village in the country and the Shaker community most directly affected by the War of 1812. West Union's complicated relationship with Native Americas and its position on the edge of the frontier forced the Shakers to Indiana during the early part of the war. They returned later to rebuild their community and even expand into Illinois, where they operated a milling business for a few years. Written accounts by the Shakers and their contemporaries recreate the hardships and satisfactions of life on the Indiana prairie.

"Mad" Anthony Wayne; remnats of the Miami and Erie Canal, which ran into downtown Cincinnati; the disastrous Ohio River flood of 1937; nitro shooters, tattooed chickens, and moonshiners; the phenomenon of Eugene, Sabina's cadaver-in-residence; the glory years of Indiana Lake; and, of course, quintessential ghost towns named Sodom, Knockemstiff, Rural, Mudsock, San Toy, and Dull. The new edition--revised, expanded, and redesigned--includes a new cover, a fanciful two-page map, forty-five photos and illustrations, a new typeface, and two new chapters. Several others have been updated and lengthened. Described as a love song to Ohio, the book is a key to a time long past, when places like Whigville, Tunnel, and Toots Corner ruled the day.
