Dive into history with this magnificent collection of vintage postcards! This fascinating assortment features a variety of compelling historical subjects, including striking monochromatic images of the Piqua, Ohio flood of 1913. You will be captivated by the incredible human-interest stories preserved here, such as the legendary tale of 'Lee,' a dog that heroically jumped 15 feet from a floating house to a railroad bridge before swimming five squares to safety! Other highlights include detailed mementos from Schoenbrunn Village in New Philadelphia, Ohio, and a stunning color-illustrated postcard of the massive 'SEEANDBEE' steamship, once renowned as the largest and most costly passenger steamer on inland waters.
