The Great Black Swamp may have slowed the settlement of northwest Ohio; but it couldnt stop a little town south of Toledo called Bowling Green. It blossomed into an agricultural gold mine with natural gas and oil booms that prospered the modest Wood County seat late in the Nineteenth Century. Now as the home of internationally known Bowling Green State University; the National Championship Tractor Pulling Competition; and the Black Swamp Arts Festival; this formerly uninhabitable swamp continues to attract its fair share of attention. In this pictorial history you will learn how Bowling Green beat the odds to become the city everybody wants to revisit.

Good information but poor bindingBy Collie.Tess and MeAbout half way through this book the pages started to fall out. The pictures and information are informative even if the photos are rather small.
