In this study of aspects of the history of Columbus, Ohio, Mansel Blackford introduces us in an engaging way to that place. With an occasional sly wit, he also makes the droll topics of water and land use policy rather interesting. In all it is a good story well-told. Ed Lentz, author of <i>Columbus: The Story of a City</i>
