Beginning as a military fort on the banks of the
Ohio River, Steubenville powered into the twentieth century with steam and steel. Fierce battles, raging fires and tragedy on the river could not deter this indefatigable community, and it emerged as an industrial and cultural beacon for the Ohio Valley. With warmth and humor, Holmes chronicles the fascinating history and colorful characters of Steubenville.
