NEW Upper Ohio Valley Historical Review (Vol. 44, No. 1, Summer-Fall 2024) Available Now!
The new edition of the Upper Ohio Valley Historical Review, Volume 44, No. 2, Spring/Summer 2025 is available now at the Circulation Desk at the Library.
In this issue: Wheeling Legends, a sequel to the 2013 book, "Legendary Locals of Wheeling." For starters, many people have been “discovered” since 2013 (when Legendary Locals of Wheeling was published), who deserved to be included.
This special edition of the Upper Ohio Valley Historical Review is the result.
This volume contains “Legends” who are not rich, famous (beyond “Wheeling-famous”), powerful, or widely celebrated, like many in the first book. Yes, the second batch of “Hall of Famers” will be found inside, along with scientists, doctors, artists, and entrepreneurs, but standing proudly beside them in these pages are working-class heroes: teachers, union members, streetcar drivers, barbers, and even a shoe shiner. Hopefully, Wheeling’s best in all walks of life are represented, and even if you disagree with the choices, you will respect the effort. And if you’re positive worthy people have been left out once again, please drop us a line. After all, as Wheeling continues to produce great people — some legendary — there will always be a need for more sequels.
