About the Author

Author Steven J. Rolfes has spent years telling these stories in print, on the radio, and in a museum. He has selected numerous vintage postcard images from the Greater Cincinnati Memory Project, ranging from the early 1800s right up to the modern Oktoberfest Chicken Dance. Behind each image is a story--even a few ghosts! Some of these landmarks can still be seen; others, like the people who created them, are now only the memories of a great city.
