Cuyahoga Falls (Postcard History) - Softcover

Welcome to Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, a small American town that epitomizes America itself. With a history dating back to the rough decades when the land was a deep wilderness inhabited by natives and adventure-seeking Europeans, the town grew into an industrial juggernaut, weathered disasters, embraced inventiveness, and spearheaded progress. Between these covers readers will find a treasure trove of postcards from a colorful past. From grand old buildings and daily town life to the natural beauty and resources of the Cuyahoga River, the images in Postcard History Series: Cuyahoga Falls reflect memories of Americana and times long since past.

Compiled by Jeri Holland, a local historian with a passion for the details of her home town, these photographs were collected using resources made available by the Cuyahoga Falls Library and the Cuyahoga Falls Historical Society. The desire to explore dusty shelves and boxes and bins can only come from a deep love of the past, which Jeri has in spades. She has written books chronicling the history of her neck of the woods, both dark and haunted as well as joyfully sentimental. She has also shared her knowledge with WNIR, 19 Action News, Cleveland Scene magazine, and others.
