This 100 page book on CD gives an overview of every day life in the Western Reserve area of Ohio.  The Western Reserve is the northeast corner of Ohio and includes the counties of  Cuyahoga, Ashtabula, Geauga, Portage, Summit, Trumbull, Mahoning, Lake, Erie, Huron, Medina, and Lorain.   A small part of Ashland county is included in the reserve as well. 

If you have any interest in pioneer life, or if you have ancestors who lived in this part of Ohio in the 1700 or 1800's, this book will certainly be of interest to you.  Any seasoned genealogist will tell you that is important to not only learn about names, dates and places, but also where they lived and what life was like for them.  This book will help fill in the gaps there. 

The chapters include:

• Sentiment
• Western Reserve Centennial
• Greeting
• Pioneer Mothers
• Sixty Years a Bride
• My First Suit of Broadcloth
• The Western Reserve
• Counties and Towns
• Prominent Officials
• Some First Events
• Reminiscences and Anecdotes

Why purchase a book on CD?  The original copies of many antique books are in bad condition and are fragile and difficult to handle.  CDs are much more durable and easier to transport.  You won't have to worry about damaging this CD like you would an old book.
