1892. Early days in Highland County, OH, and its various communities, including Hillsboro, Greenfield, Leesburg, Lynchburgh, New Petersburgh and Sinking Springs, are recalled through a mixture of colorful tales and factual data in this NEW 21 Page Booklet of excerpts reproduced directly from the 1892 Centennial edition of Henry Howe's Historical Collections of Ohio and other hard-to-find sources. The spiral-bound booklet is printed one-sided on 60# paper with the fine print enlarged for easier reading. A sheet of clear vinyl has been added to protect the front cover. Among the many and diverse topics covered in the booklet are: the Hillsborough Academy, the Women's Temperance Crusade; the Women's Whiskey Raid at Greenfield, Gov. Allen Trimble and William A. Trimble, Gov. Joseph Benson Foraker -- including extracts from his Civil War journal; Ohio's Wonderland including Dry Cave, Wet Cave, Dancing Cave and Marble Cave, Profile Rock, Gypsy Glen, Bracket Rock, Mussett Hole and Boone Tree; Fort Hill, an ancient earthwork; the "Hard Year" (1807); the remarkable fortitude of two boys; and "a law to encourage the killing of squirrels."
