Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The legacy of the hardy pioneers who ventured to northern Ohio in the early 1800s and those who followed and strived to make Sheffield's Lake Erie shore and hinterland a wonderful place to live, learn, work, and raise families is depicted in Sheffield Through Time. It traces architectural styles from Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, and Victorian to Classical Revival. Along the way numerous Vernacular-style farmhouses and barns were built to match the particular needs and backgrounds of the new settlers. Geology played an important part of the early settlement of Sheffield Township. The ancient beach ridges left behind by retreating glacial lakes were the first areas selected for homesteads because of their rich sandy soils. The land along the lakeshore was the least desired by the early settlers because of its high clay content. When Bavarians emigrant arrived in the mid-1800s, they discovered the shorelands were excellent for growing grapes and pastures for their livestock. These factors coupled with stream-power provided by the Black River and French Creek allowed Sheffield to flourish.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Village of Sheffield was founded on the Lake Erie plain and a sandy ridge of glacial Lake Warren. Black River and French Creek course through rich farmlands, once home to Archaic and Woodland Indians. Originally surveyed as Township 7 of Range 17 in the Connecticut Western Reserve, hearty pioneers arrived here in 1815 from the Berkshire Mountains of New England, naming their settlement Sheffield after their Massachusetts town. In the mid-1800s, another wave of immigrants arrived from Bavaria, adding cultural richness to the community. In 1894, industrialist Tom Johnson constructed giant steel mills on the west side of the river, and Sheffield Village eventually broke away, choosing to retain its agrarian identity. Today Sheffield Village is in transition to a modern residential/commercial community but keeps much of its natural character by virtue of parklands along stream valleys. Fortunately, fine examples of homestead architecture have been preserved throughout the village. Charles E. Herdendorf writes this book in association with the Sheffield Village Historical Society, where he serves as president and editor of the society's journal, The Village Pioneer. Dr. Herdendorf, professor emeritus of geological sciences at The Ohio State University, is a descendant of Sheffield's founding families and lives in one of the village's historic homes. He has selected images for this book from the extensive digital archives of the Sheffield Village Historical Society. The Images of America series celebrates the history of neighborhoods, towns, and cities across the country. Using archival photographs, each title presents the distinctive stories from the past that shape the character of the community today. Arcadia is proud to play a part in the preservation of local heritage, making history available to all. Book jacket.
