Riassunto

"Clevelanders are rediscovering the richness of their history, and the encyclopedia project has played a vital role in this process." Northwest Ohio Quarterly

Volume One, The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History, contains more than 2000 entries, 150 photographs, maps and charts. Volume Two, the Dictionary of Cleveland Biography, with over 1600 entries, is the first major biographical guide to Cleveland published since the 1920s.
