Omschrijving
Founded in 1788 along the Ohio River, Cincinnati was the major city
in the Northwest Territory for several decades. As it has developed into
its third century, Cincinnati's innovations, service, manufacturing, arts,
and athletics mark it as a place with a vibrant and varied heritage. The
contributions of interesting and unique personalities add to the city's
dynamism: William Holmes McGuffey and his creation of a nation's
textbooks; civil rights activists Ted Berry, Fred Shuttlesworth, and Marian
Berry; iconic personalities like baseball star Pete Rose and silent film actress
Theda Bara; grocery entrepreneur Barney Kroger; cooperative education
creator Herman Schneider; polio vaccine pioneer Albert Sabin; Joseph
Strauss, the design engineer of the Golden Gate Bridge; Paul Brown, one of
the NFL's greatest coaches; Henry Heimlich, whose Heimlich maneuver has
saved countless lives; and Benadryl inventor George Rieveschl. But it is also
the philanthropists and business leaders; the cultural and political figures;
the teachers and community workers; and even the intriguing characters
and everyday citizens who make Cincinnati an interesting place on the map.
