With a selection of fine historic images from her bestselling book
Historic Photos of Cincinnati, Linda Bailey provides a valuable and
revealing historical retrospective on the growth and development of
Cincinnati.
Before the emergence of the Midwestern industrial centers of Chicago and
Kansas City, Cincinnati was the fastest-growing city in what was once
considered the West. Throughout its history, Cincinnati's leaders
adapted to ever-changing economic forces. Today the city has a diverse
collection of institutions that make it a vital cultural center.
This volume, Remembering Cincinnati, captures this journey in still
photography from various collections in the archives of the Cincinnati
Museum Center. The book follows life, government, education, and events
spanning two centuries of Cincinnati's history. It captures unique and
rare scenes through the original lens of more than a hundred historic
photographs. These images portray the events and people important to
Cincinnati's history and the building of a unique and prosperous city.
