Subject	Business and Labor Religion in Ohio Education Climate and Weather
Place	Springfield (Ohio) Clark County (Ohio)
Description	The city of Springfield was first incorporated as a town in 1801. Fifty years later, the town had become a thriving city and one of its citizens, Robert C. Woodward (1829-1896), commemorated the community's growth with his publication of Sketches of Springfield. The book provides a wealth of information about the early development of the city. Included is information about the formation of churches, schools, the press, benevolent and literary societies, local railroads, and the telegraph. Many "firsts" are identified, such as the first mill, the first frame house, and the first public house. Certain events are also covered, such as tornadoes in 1806 and 1833, the cholera outbreaks of 1832 and 1833, and the political campaign of 1840. Throughout, Woodward includes the names of numerous local residents contributing to the growth and expansion of Springfield. Sketches of Springfield also includes twenty-four pages of advertisements from local businesses. The book is 72 pages in length and measures 7" x 4.25" (17.8 x 10.8 cm).
