Reviews
Neil Zurcher claims he's no historian--just a history buff. However, one can't help but be impressed by his scholarship after reading Strange Tales From Ohio, a collection of mostly forgotten curiosities from the past., A delightful read . . . Zurcher chooses his anecdotes well, balancing scandalous murder mysteries and the truly odd with lighter fare about Ohio's famous inventors and funniest first achievements . . . Embedded in the book is the message that Ohio is a state worthy of public interest. Zurcher takes special care to highlight the great achievements of local people and organizations . . . Zurcher is unique in his ability to mine the treasure trove of bizarre Ohio history., Includes some quite remarkable stories, all taking place in a state practically synonymous with normality, even blandness.
