Actually, the presses were never rolling to begin with, since the book is only available as a downloadable PDF.

Back on this post, I posted the link where you could download Part 1, which covered the years 1818-1869. Well, Part 2 is now done, and covers the years 1870-1910. You can download it here.

BLACK RIVER CHARLESTON LORAIN – Through the Eyes of the Press is a collection of transcribed newspaper articles from Lorain’s early days. It sheds light on what life was like for the city’s earliest residents.

The book can be a valuable resource for anyone interested in local history, especially as it played out in the various newspapers. But remember – don’t look for it at your local bookstore (are there any?) because the book is only available for downloading.
