Ten Ohio Disasters: Stories of Tragedy and Courage… by Neil Zurcher
This is a must have book about historical disasters for Ohio natives. Zurcher's book is well written, and in many of the stories he or someone he knows can offer their personal recollections.
Interesting true stories of strange happenings in Ohio. The book gives the reader great ideas for road trips.
A lot of good ideas for neat things to do in Ohio, however, I highly recommend calling or looking online to make sure that these places still exist.
This was an enjoyable series of true stories that took place in Ohio. It was a light read that I could put down and pick up without a problem. I never realized some of the strange stories that took place in this state.
