Historical interest Items, etc.:
    Historical Collections of Ohio - The Centinial Edition, by Henry Howe. This book was
         written in 1888 any may contain language to particular ethnic groups that some may
         find offensive today. It is essential that history not be "judged" using a modern day
         point-of-view. The views of the past must be taken in context of how people
         generally thought "back in the day."
