The author Rocco Satullo is also the owner of OhioTraveler.com. He has spent the past 13 years exploring Ohio territories, researching information on the Lake Erie Islands and Ohio State Reformatory. Those and more Ohio sites are woven into "Earth Things."
Here are a few of the Ohio landmarks featured in novel that you might find pretty cool. Make sure you also check out the 8 cool things you didn't know about Dayton geology.
1. Cleveland's Western Reserve
Northeastern Ohio's cultural roots begin with the Native Americans who first inhabited Cleveland's Western Reserve. Initially part of the colony of Connecticut, this northeastern settlement grew significantly and became known for the presence of diverse groups in terms of race, ethnicity and religion during the late nineteenth century in what is now Cleveland, Lorain, and Akron. Today, the region continues to grow as an "emerging destination" with one of the "10 best City Arts Districts in the USA."
2. Sandusky Islands
Put-in-Bay and Kelleys Island
Native American history plays a big part in the culture of the Sandusky islands. For example, the earliest visitors of Put-in-Bay were Native Americans. In fact, many Indian arrowheads, stone axes, and other implements of blue and white flints were turned up during the establishment of Put-in-Bay and the Sandusky Islands
3. Mansfield, Ohio
One of the places listed in Satullo's book is Mansfield's Prison. By the 1850s nearly all Native American tribes, roughly 360,000 in number, lived to the west of the Mississippi River, including Mansfield. Native American lifestyle widely influenced the culture within this landmark.
