 +Citation for an earlier edition:\\
 +Howe, H. (1847). //Historical collections of Ohio: Containing a collection of the most interesting facts, 
 +traditions, biographical sketches, anecdotes, etc., relating to its general and local history, with descriptions 
 +of its counties, principal towns and villages : illustrated by 177 engravings giving views of the chief towns,

 +This book contains some good information, including material from personal memoirs, but the online version does support navigation by chapter, and
 +the book itself has no table of contents. Other online sources (find via WorldCat) allow navigation to individual
 +pages, but also provide no chapter titles or chapter navigation. However, the 
 +[[https://books.google.com/books?id=ri8WAAAAYAAJ|Google Books]] version can be searched
 +using keywords, and that can be helpful for finding information on specific topics.
