Description: Photograph of President Eisenhower (far left) holding a copy of Louis Bromfield's 1950 book "Out of the Earth." Also pictured in the photograph are (left to right): Jonathan Forman of Columbus, E. B. Howard of Zanesville, Ralph Cobey of Galion, and O. E. Fink of Zanesville. Ohio author, farmer, and conservationist Louis Bromfield (1896-1956) received the Pulitzer Prize for his book "Early Autumn" in 1927 and wrote 30 best-selling books during his 32-year literary career. In 1939, he created his dream, Malabar Farm, where he could demonstrate sound soil and water conservation practices and teach others about sustainable agriculture. The Friends of the Land was a conservation society formed in March 1940 as a non-profit, non-partisan, independent organization supported entirely by its members. It worked with all government and private agencies to support, increase, and unify all efforts for the control and wise use of rain, soil, and all living products. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photographic reproduction of a print depicting the McCoy House, located in Bucyrus, Ohio. This image is a detail from "Map of Crawford County, Ohio/Drawn and Published by M.H and J.V.B Watson," a map that is part of the Library of Congress (LOC) map collection. According the LOC's description, the map "includes views of public, residential, and commercial properties, distance table, statistical table, insets of Galion, Bucyrus, and Crestline." An inset with a street map of Bucyrus shows the location of McCoy House to be at the southwest corner of Sandusky Avenue and the public square. Given the image's context, the McCoy House likely was a hotel. The 1875-1876 Bucyrus City Directory shows this location as the site of the Alcorn House, which was advertised as a hotel and restaurant that served liquor. View on Ohio Memory.
