The Ohio Reader

The Ohio Reader book cover
Preface True stories one about a brave young Ohioan another telling how a former slave shared his wealth with his community and many others fill the pages of this reader They are but a few of the intriguing tales I discovered through years of Ohio research A narrative poem relies on memories from my own children’s childhood Another entry journals days of my summer vacations spent along the Lake Erie shore when I was young The list continues as I share my Ohio connection through short stories poems games and riddles The content of The Ohio Reader crosses many ages and grade levels just as the original McGuffey Readers written in Ohio by educator William McGuffey did during the 1800s The content also spans the history of Ohio from early statehood to current times I’ve tucked in timelines and facts but also a tip of my hat toward the merit of virtues that lead toward living in harmony within our homes schools communities and world iii
