Horace Wade, Boy Author

Cleveland's own Horace A. Wade was a published author at age 11, with his book In the Shadow of Great Peril, and went on to write numerous other works, especially about horse racing.

The buttons are mostly about Herbert Hoover. This Cleveland Press photo was taken in 1920 and I just got a kick out of it.

News, commentary, information and musings on the history of greater Cleveland and the Western Reserve region of Northeastern Ohio, particularly its bridges, railroads, maps and historic landmarks and events. Using new web-based technologies, such as GIS, to improve libraries' ability to increase access to local history. More recently I'm adding information on the arts, particularly outdoor sculpture.
