Named after a Prussian officer who aided America during the Revolution, Fort Steuben was constructed in 1786 to protect government surveyors of the Old Northwest Territory. In 1797, Steubenville, one of the earliest settlements in Ohio, was founded and named after the fort. Located on the Ohio River, the town became a hub of transportation, bringing in settlers and industry. By the 20th century, Steubenville had become a center for steel production and coal mining. Important figures President Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, sports commentator "Jimmy the Greek," and entertainer Dean Martin all are natives of Ohio's eastern gateway, Steubenville.

Steubenville, Ohio (Images of America Series)
In the Images of America series, Sandy Day & Alan Craig Hall are responsible for the 2005 edition dealing with "Steubenville, Ohio". This pictorial history of the the town right next door to where I grew up offers a very brief glimpse into the schools, churches & industry that makes this area what it is. The book itself is honestly not all that bad with the things it reveals about this 200+ year old city; however if I have 1 criticism is that it doesn't focus as much (especially on the history side) on things from the late 1940s to the present. Also while the book does reference Steubenville's most famous historical person, Edwin Stanton, it neglects another native son which the city honors in a yearly festival, Dean Martin. Overall, though, I did learn a few things I didn't know about the city right next door to my hometown & would encourage anyone who lives in Jefferson county or has ties to Steubenville to at least pick up the book & enjoy this brief glimpse into the past.
