Description: ADAMS COUNTY Early days in Adams County, and the communities of, Manchester, West Union and Winchester, are recalled through a mixture of colorful tales and factual data in this Brand New 23-Page Booklet reprinted from the 1892 Centennial edition of Henry Howe's Historical Collections of Ohio and other sources. The spiral-bound booklet is printed one-sided on quality paper, with the print enlarged 10% for easier reading. A sheet of clear vinyl has been added to protect the front cover. Illustrations include the County Buildings in West Union and the serpent mound. The Serpent Mound, the first settlement, the bark cutters, steamboat racing, the experience of an old time river man - Capt. John F. Devenny, river beacons, the capture of Israel Donalson, a nostalgic trip down the Ohio River, and adventures involving area Indians, are some of the subjects included. Genealogy buffs will find a list of 1888 county officers and businesses. In addition there's a history of newspapers in the county, a map of Ohio's 88 counties, a map showing Ohio in 1805, and a 1940 look at the area from "The Ohio Guide," a WPA project. Wouldn't this make a unique gift?
