When John H. Devereux, president of the CCC & I RR, caught wind that his workers planned to go on strike, he spoke to them and not only talked them out of striking, he got them to pledge to aid authorities to deal with disturbances! www.markstrecker.com/19.html#19 #RailroadHistory #OhioHistory

A visit to the #OrangeJohnsonHouse in #Worthington #Ohio.

The oldest portion was built in 1811 by Arora Buttles. In 1816 Orange Johnson, a hornsmith, bought the property adding the Federal-style wing.

In the 19th century, Ohio had no safety laws for railroad bridges. In 1879, a bridge over the Big Walnut Creek near Sunbury collapsed as a Cleveland, Mt. Vernon & Columbus RR freight train crossed. The bridge’s replacement failed in 1912. www.markstrecker.com/13.html#13 #RailroadHistory #OhioHistory

Working on more material to assign for my #ohiohistory class. I currently have a brief newsreel about the 1934 Auto-Lite Strike in Toledo and I want to expand what's there. Looking at Korth and Beagle's oral history I Remember Like Today: The Auto-Lite Strike of 1934 (Michigan State U Press 1988)

Early Ohio was overflowing with wildlife. A nine-foot mountain lion was once killed between Urbana and Springfield, and fish at the Maumee River rapids were so abundant you could throw a spear at random and rarely miss. #OhioHistory #WildlifeFacts #NatureTok #Conservation #DidYouKnow
