This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1854 edition. Excerpt: ... CUYAHOGA FALLS This township is an exception to all others on the KSscrve, in having neither Range, nor Number, and contains but four and one-eighth square miles. Instead of being five miles square, as are all the other Townships, this is only one and a fourth miles square, being the whole of Tract one, and forty rods wide on the North side of Tract five, originally in Tallmadge, and one eighth of a mile square from lots one, two, eleven, and twelve, in Stow; half a mile east and west, and one mile north and south, from lots eight and nine in Northampton, and one and a half miles east and west from the west part of Tract two in Portage. The Township is composed of the corners of four Townships, and was organized into a Township in April, 1851, for the purpose of accommodating the large and increasing business of the village of Cuyahoga Falls. Being thus taken from the corners of four Townships, it possesses no distinct range, nor number of its own, but lies in ranges ten and eleven, and townships two and three. As its name imports, it is on the falls of the Cuyahoga river, which here commence and continue for over two miles.--In this distance are three perpendicular falls--the upper one, near the village, is about twelve feet; the second, sixteen feet; the lower, or "Big Falls," twenty-two feet. Besides these there are continuous rapids the whole distance, forming some of the best water-power in the world. The river has cut a channel through the rocks from eighty to one hundred feet in depth, through which it rushes, among the fragments of rocks that have fallen from above, forming the most sublime scenery in Northern Ohio. The railroad runs on the very verge of this precipice, offering to a traveler a view of the wilderness of Nature in...

In 1859, a group of men from Denver crossed the Continental Divide with the hope of finding gold in the Blue River Valley. Their initial success changed the landscape as towns blossomed across the countryside, and ranches, which provided much needed food, were established along the lower part of the valley. The arrival of the railroads in 1882 facilitated the movement of people and goods in and out of the area. The railroads also made mining operations much more profitable and diminished the isolation of the county's residents. Women and children began arriving in greater numbers in the 1880s, bringing with them the refinements of the Victorian era. The influx of families spurred the establishment of churches, libraries, social clubs, and hospitals and, at the same time, discouraged gambling, drinking, and prostitution.

Summit County’s Narrow-Gauge Railroads tells the story of the two railroads that fought for dominance in Summit County, Colorado, during the late 1800s and early 1900s: the Denver, South Park & Pacific and the Denver & Rio Grande. The two railroads developed an intense rivalry as they sought to monopolize the county’s economic potential. Altitude, heavy winter snow, and rugged mountainous terrain combined to provide a unique set of challenges to company management as well as to the crews as they battled to lay the tracks and provide much-needed rail service to the residents and businesses of the county. Intimately tied to the mining economy, the fortunes of the railroads plummeted when the mining economy collapsed. Although poorly financed and poorly built, the railroads changed the living conditions for county residents. Without the railroads bringing the necessary equipment and lumber, nine huge gold-dredging boats would not have scoured the county’s major waterways between 1898 and 1942.
