Centennial History of Cincinnati and Representative Citizens, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centennial History of Cincinnati and Representative Citizens, Vol. 1 The task of writing an account of so limited a portion of the earth as a single city does not in itself seem a very difficult one. Only those who have attempted it can appreciate the amount of labor such a task involves and the number of omissions and errors that must necessarily creep into such a work. These speak for themselves, and it is not necessary to call attention to them beyond expressing regret that they will be undoubtedly found in this volume as in others of its class.
