Description

When gazing at the city’s impressive skyline, we too incessantly omit the notable individuals who built these grand and glittering buildings, in addition to the nearby museums, parks and neighborhoods we also treasure. Reflected in the character, reputation and even design of our city, the legacy of the early settlers continues on today. Through their efforts, almost all the time imbued with a civic entrepreneurial spirit, they stamped their mark on our burgeoning regional reputation, even as also allowing current leaders to bolster and broaden our national reputation.

From its very beginnings, Cincinnati offered an enticing combination of personable welcome and worldly sophistication. At one point, Cincinnati had more native-born residents than some other American city, a testament to the values that attracted and retained its citizens.

In Founders and Famous Families of Cincinnati, writer Wendy Hart Beckman brings to life the founding families’ histories, sharing these intertwined and fascinating tales with readers near and far. A charming history of lives lived large — actually the Who’s Who (in addition to the When and Where) of Cincinnati — that when regarded as together, made the Queen City the great place to live and work that it’s today.
