Download or read book Lost Treasures of Cincinnati written by Amy E. Brownlee and published by Reedy Press LLC. This book was released on 2022-10-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lost Treasures of Cincinnati traverses the Queen City’s cultural and physical history, from museums to movie palaces, basketball teams to tea rooms, subways to supper clubs—from what always was to what might have been. A collection of archival photographs, artifacts, and anecdotes, Lost Treasures captures the stories and details of dearly departed local buildings, institutions, events, and attractions. Look for crosstown favorites like Cincinnati Gardens, the 50/50 Club, Tall Stacks, and Crosley Field—places and performances that brought Cincinnati together to spectate and celebrate. Explore destination shopping in downtown Cincinnati at long-shuttered department stores like Gidding-Jenny and Pogue’s. And take in a show at the RKO Albee Theater. Menus and photos recall restaurants and eateries like the Virginia Bakery, Gourmet Room, and the Chili Company. And Lost Treasures looks back to unearth long-lost settings and hidden gems like The Highland House, Mrs. Trollope’s Bazaar, Kenner Toys, and an indoor ice rink at the Netherland Plaza Hotel. These items are more than the sum of their parts: Taken together, they represent a spectrum of experience in our recent and distant past that rings true for Cincinnatians young and old.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deep dive into the complex history of the Queen City, Cincinnati, Ohio, from after the American Revolution to today. So many colorful stories are lost to time. The last passenger pigeon on earth, Martha, died in the Cincinnati Zoo in 1914. Just outside the city, a young Annie Oakley beat her future husband in a shooting contest. The deadliest maritime disaster in American history was the explosion of the steamboat Sultana, built in the Queen City. The nation's first train robbery occurred in the Cincinnati area, and some clever victims hid jewelry in their hair and bodices. From the Black Brigade's role in protecting the city against Confederate siege to the original 1937 Cincinnati Bengals, author Jeff Suess reveals the triumphs and tribulations of the first major American city founded after the American Revolution.
Book Synopsis Cincinnati's Lost History by : Steven J. Rolfes
Download or read book Cincinnati's Lost History written by Steven J. Rolfes and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cincinnati's Lost History ... offers a glimpse into the history of the area, when it was very different from the trendy place it is today. Rivermen and merchants once rubbed shoulders with prostitutes, gamblers, and thieves. It was the melting pot of popular culture, an area where new music came upriver from the South--a fresh sound known as the blues. This style was refined in the many riverfront saloons before making its way up the Ohio. A marble-and-pillared bank on Third Street had a tunnel allowing gold to be brought secretly from the river to its vaults. At night, an even greater treasure used the passageway: slaves making their way to freedom. Readers will not only gain knowledge about the residents, but they'll also step into the lives of those who worked, visited, and played in the area"--

Book Synopsis The Silver Madonna and Other Tales of America's Greatest Lost Treasures by : W.C. Jameson
Download or read book The Silver Madonna and Other Tales of America's Greatest Lost Treasures written by W.C. Jameson and published by Taylor Trade Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-12 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-four tales in this book are of the most famous lost treasures in America, from a two-foot statue reportedly made entirely of silver (the “Madonna”) and a cache of gold, silver, and jewelry that was rumored to also contain the first Bible in America to seventeen tons of gold—its value equal to the treasury of a mid-sized nation—buried somewhere in northwestern New Mexico.

Book Synopsis Lost Mines and Buried Treasures of the Civil War by : W. C. Jameson
Download or read book Lost Mines and Buried Treasures of the Civil War written by W. C. Jameson and published by . This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To a professional treasure hunter, the era of the Civil War is attractive in a number of ways. For one thing, many of the lost or cached military payrolls are documented, so the fortune at the end of the search remains a real one as opposed to a folklorical or mythical one. The truth is, there are millions of dollars worth of such payrolls waiting to be discovered. Further, recovered artifacts associated with both the Union and Confederate armies can sometimes yield impressively high values among collectors. Recovered weapons caches find a viable market. Most tales of lost mines and buried treasures are steeped in history and/or lore. The added element of the fascinating era of the Civil War adds a particular level of interest and excitement to the quest. For the first time, an exhaustively researched collection of some of the most notable lost treasures of the Civil War is presented in this book.
