As much a history as it is a tribute to the Queen City, Founders and Famous Families of Cincinnati gathers and shares the stories of local folks who are as familiar to Cincinnatians as they are to people around the globe: Procter, Gamble, Taft, Longworth, Lindner, plus 150 others. Even as new faces and new names join them, many of our famous families of the past will continue to be our foundational families of the future. This book tops off the city’s familial histories by noting the innovations that have affected the rest of the world: the first professional baseball team, the first pharmacy college, the first Jewish hospital, the first municipal university, the first concrete skyscraper, the first municipal railroad, and so many more.
