Postcards - from the collection of John McFarland 

Cuyahoga River on fire - Excellent photos from Case Western Reserve University depicting fires on the River, fire boats, and revitalization since

Migration of the Connecticut Western Reserve - Starting with the year 1810, these pages have excellent maps showing the migration of peoples into the Western Reserve

The following pictures were scanned from The Book of Ohio (C. S. Van Tassel, Publisher), of which the publication date is not printed, although the book states that it was published in honor of Ohio's centennial celebration which was in the year 1903; so it is assumed that these photos were taken during the first few years of the twentieth century, almost one-hundred years ago.
