â‚¬Å“A delightful read . . . Zurcher chooses his anecdotes well, balancing scandalous murder mysteries and the truly odd with lighter fare about Ohioâ‚¬s famous inventors and funniest first achievements.â‚¬Â â‚¬â€¢ Akron Life Magazine

Ohio history can get pretty strange! From the author of the popular offbeat travel guide â‚¬Å“Ohio Odditiesâ‚¬Â, here are 75 equally odd tales of Ohioâ‚¬s most remarkable people, places, and events.

Learn why residents of Blueball, Ohio, erected a monument to a pig. Witness the birth of the inflatable airplane in Akron. Revisit Ohioâ‚¬s last public whipping, near Dayton. Find out if Ohio really was bombed by the Japanese in World War II. Read about Ashtabulaâ‚¬s famed Headless Chicken, who lived without his noggin for 38 days . . . the worldâ‚¬s first recorded automobile accident . . . the man who invented disposable diapers . . .

A real treat for anyone who enjoys Ohio history with a twist.
