INTRODUCTION
"We review the past, not in order that we may return to it, but that we may find in what direction, straight and clear, it points into the future." --- Calvin Coolidge.
In writing the history of Cuyahoga County and the City of Cleveland, covering a period of 128 years, we shall draw upon the recorded history that has gone before and gather from the memories of the living. We shall write with a personal touch because during half of the period mentioned we have witnessed the marvelous development of this favored region of our fair land.
We shall strive for accuracy, but it must be remembered that there are differences in our local histories. These are only natural and do not affect the main features. The accounts of eyewitnesses to an occurrence of yesterday will vary in many details.
We shall give emphasis to the pioneers who wielded the ax as well as those who gave of their brain in the formation of this new civilization, to the men and women who laid the foundations, built the first fires, established law and order and maintained their supremacy-to Lorenzo Carter as well as Moses Cleveland.
We anticipate it will be a pleasant task to review the past as well as to take stock of the present. Said Judge John J. Sullivan in an address before the Early Settlers' Association: "What a wonderful thing it is to be able to appreciate all the memories of the past, the early days, the primeval woods, the old log hut, the vine clad cottage, moonlight and stars above, the roaring streams, the silence of the woods, the song of the birds, the early struggles, the virgin nature-picturesque, beautiful, entrancing- a dream of the future before our vision."
We ask the reader to go with us as we follow the growth of the city and county, now holding a position in population, wealth and influence, not dreamed of by the founders and only hinted at by the men of vision in later years.
Our task is large but most inviting.
THE AUTHOR.
