In the 50 years following the Civil War; Canton grew from a small farming community to a wealthy industrial city; distributing products worldwide. The city also became a center of political power as lawyer William McKinley rose from U.S. congressman and governor of Ohio to president of the United States. Following McKinleyrsquo;s assassination; the city oversaw the building of his imposing memorial. At the same time; Canton citizens built hospitals; schools; civic buildings; churches; homes; parks; and even one of the statersquo;s largest amusement parks. Along the way; the Professional Football League; forerunner of the National Football League; was created. This book features postcards of important Canton sites as well as a chapter dedicated to Myers Lake; the center of recreation in Canton for nearly 100 years.

I saw photos I had never seen before of this "place" and recognized names from my youth. A Ben Aflac (sp?) movie. "Live By Night" I think. just finished filming there at end of 2015. In or around 1956 another movie was filmed on the same street (Newcastle). but on the northern end of that downtown street. "View from Pompeii Head". I saw that one being filmed! Born and bred there. yall.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Would RecommendBy PreacherReally Good. Would recommend.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
