Abstract

Kenry Leonard of Kent State University discusses Ohio’s Western Reserve in the mid-19th century as being typified by both “tranquil rural communities” and by “the bustling city of Cleveland, in the midst of a commercial boom”. Leonard explores the change to the region as exemplified by 19th century Cleveland. Conference paper; originally published in Western Reserve Studies Symposium (3rd:1988 : Cleveland, Ohio)
