The Ohio River

Rating:
Summary: Cruising the Ohio
Review: Having moved to Ohio just four years ago, I came across this book in a local library. The author and photographer actually rode the river from Pittsburg to Cairo where the Ohio meets the Mississippi. The text and photos reflect their ambling journey -and the two are not necessarily related on each page.

"The Ohio River" shows the river and the people as they once were and as they are. Some photos are exhilarating while others are quit pensive and even sad.

If you are a river enthusiast or a lover of the Ohio, you will want this book for your coffee table.

Summary: Forget the Ohio River
Review: This is one of those books where some of the photos are captioned, others are not. This is one of those books where the pictures are on a page generally have nothing to do with the text on the page. You may be reading about the Ohio River in Pennsylvania and see a photo of a power plant in Kentucky. In fact, this book on the "Ohio River" seems to spend most of its time picturing and writing about steel mills and power plants, and railroads. It's very much like the authors assembled a few photos, and 3x5 cards of text, threw them up in the air, and where they landed formed a book.
