"This book is the product of John Fairfield's long association with Zane Miller, the Cincinnati school of urban history, and the idea of symptomatic history. In tracing the development of Oakley from a small agricultural hamlet to a busy urban neighborhood, this history treats local developments as symptomatic of larger national trends. These trends include the rise and fall of a mass production economy and the shift to a service economy, the fortunes and fate of public transportation, and the patterns and policies promoting-and sometimes reducing-racial segregation"--Provided by publisher.
A pamphlet of information about Cincinnati, encouraging companies and consumers to do business in the city. Not dated. Text refers to a new viaduct to be completed in 1916 (p.4) and notes "Don't forget, Wednesday, September 29, 1915, is out-of-town shoppers day"--Page 20.
In 1883, a group of women, concerned about conditions for children in Cincinnati's hospitals, proposed establishing a hospital for children. The hospital was incorporated in November 1883 and opened a few months later in a rented three-bedroom house. The hospital admitted 38 children in its first year, and Episcopal bishop Thomas Jaggar, president of the board of trustees, reported that it offered its young patients "the best medical and surgical treatment" as well as "the tenderest care"--a description as true today as it was 125 years ago. From its modest beginnings, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center has become one of the nation's most distinguished centers for pediatric care, research, and education. It is a trusted resource in Greater Cincinnati and a national and international referral center. Scientists at Cincinnati Children's have made research contributions that have advanced pediatric medicine at home and around the world.
