Excerpt from The Centennial Anniversary of the City of Hamilton, Ohio: September 17-19, 1891 This volume is issued in response to a very general desire of the residents of Hamilton who witnessed, and many of whom participated in the exercises of the Centennial Celebration. Considerable delay has been experienced owing to failure on the part of some persons to prepare the papers they had engaged to write, and also on account of changes made necessary in the method of preparing the artistic work. In addition to the anniversary exercises in connection with the Centennial Settlement of Hamilton, the volume contains a full and complete description of all the leading Manufactories, School Houses, Churches and Public Buildings, and also much interesting and valuable information concerning i the early history of the Northwestern Territory and of the habits of the pioneers of the Great Miami Valley. The Committee in charge of the publication acknowledges itself indebted to the several gentlemen who delivered addresses on the occasion for copies thereof, kindly furnished the Committee, also to the persons who prepared papers on the topics assigned them; and as well to the many other persons who have in various ways generously rendered important aid in the preparation of this volume. It is thought that the many illustrations will, in a measure, aid to make the volume attractive to our people. While literary excellence is not claimed for it, the hope is entertained that its perusal will serve to pleasantly while away an occasional hour; and that it may be of some value to the future historian, for the facts collected and presented, and which, but for this publication might be lost to memory.

Going back to its roots in 1791, Hamilton has been populated by exceptional and dynamic personalities who created a truly unique city. The people who contributed to the city's growth included authors Robert McCloskey, Fanny Hurst, and William Dean Howells; developer of the "Hollow Earth Theory" John Cleves Symmes; major-league pitcher Joe Nuxhall; folk artist Nan Phelps; orator and Chautauqua speaker Lou Jenks Beauchamps; world-class archer Darrell Pace; Frederick Brant Rentschler, founder of the world's largest aircraft company; teacher and aeronautical engineer Raymond L. Bisplinghoff; Frank Clair, coach and member of the Canadian Football League Hall of Fame; Rear Adm. Donald Wulzen; and Shuler and Joseph Doran, two brothers who pioneered early wireless radio in America. Hamilton has also benefited from business leaders, educators, political figures, philanthropists, city officials, and fascinating characters and citizens who have made the city an interesting community.
Butler County has a long and storied history with some spooky twists. When European settlers arrived, they found not only Native settlements but also earthworks that remain a mystery--as are the strange lights still seen near them. The disturbed spirit of a frontier soldier roams the basement of the Soldiers, Sailors, and Pioneers Monument, and Busenbark is haunted by the Hatchet Man, who committed his crimes 175 years ago. At Miami University, the ghost of Helen Peabody wanders the building that bears her name. Just outside of town, many drive to see the Oxford Ghost Light, and a weekend visit to the Screaming Bridge of Maud-Hughes Road is a high school rite of passage. Hamilton native and owner of an actual haunted house Daniel D. Schneider explores the terrifying train tracks, creepy canals, scary streets, and bewitched bridges of Butler County.
