Second, expanded edition of a pioneering highly acclaimed work on Cleveland.

Reviews

The most authoritative and comprehensive historical reference work now available on any U.S. city, the Encyclopedia covers virtually every historical aspect of life in Cleveland and its environs. Over 225 authors penned approximately 2700 well-crafted entries; nearly 170 of these are lengthy, interpretive essays on critical topics in the city's history. Many entries conclude with bibliographic or ``see also'' references. There are two indexes: topical and all names italicized within entries. There is a lengthy narrative history of the city. The ambitious nature and quality of this work assure that it will become the standard of measurement for all future local history reference works. Essential for Ohio and large research libraries.
