The convergence of the Ohio River, the National Road, a remarkable bridge, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad transformed Wheeling into a transportation hub. Fed by an influx of immigrant labor, the city prospered, adding industrial muscle. But global economic changes brought the machine to a sudden halt. Wheeling author Sean Duffy and photographer Paul Rinkes explore a city still recovering from that trauma, a city with a proud past and an uncertain but hopeful future.

Article on the Library Program
Here's a nice description of me "expounding" on the picture book: "Duffy delivered an entertaining account, by turns amusing and even death-defying..." Well said Linda. Although, I had to go old-school with a scan of the article as there's no link--why no link? I'll bet if I had a PhD there'd be a link! ;) Anyway, you can at least see the tie I had made. Now that's dedication. Some day I hope that tie will be in a Then & Now book.Wednesday, September 8, 2010
