In 2002-2003, Jeff Geiger proofed her typed text, converted it into html, scanned the all the images and added the hyperlinks, as his practicum project here from the Kent State School of Library and Information Science. Donna Stewart, CSU Library Systems Department, created the graphic. Thanks to Janet Mongan of the CSU Library for her support.--from ClevelandMemory.org

The author, Charles Whittlesey, was a geologist by trade, but had many different interests. He also practiced law, was interested in archeology and history as well. He helped to found the Western Reserve Historical Society, and served as their president for a time. He was chosen to serve on the first geologic survey of Ohio, and also aided surveys for ore in both Michigan and Wisconsin.
