Description: Portrait of a man identified as Mr. Gordon, photographed along North High Street in the University District of Columbus, Ohio.

The University District includes the small neighborhoods to the east and south of The Ohio State University campus on either side of the High Street corridor. The High Street Photograph Collection is comprised of over 400 photographs of High Street in Columbus, Ohio, taken in the early 1970s.

Description: This is a photograph of two women seated in a prop boat with an artistic back drop. This photograph was taken by traveling photographer Albert J. Ewing, ca. 1896-1912. Like most of Ewing's work, it was likely taken in southeastern Ohio or central West Virginia. Born in 1870 in Washington County, Ohio, near Marietta, Ewing most likely began his photography career in the 1890s. The 1910 US Census and a 1912-1913 directory list him as a photographer. A negative signed “Ewing Brothers” and a picture with his younger brother, Frank, indicate that Frank may have joined the business. After 1916, directories list Albert as a salesman. He died in 1934. The Ewing Collection consists of 5,055 glass plate negatives, each individually housed and numbered. Additionally, the collection includes approximately 450 modern contact prints made from the glass plate negatives. Subjects include infants and young children, elderly people, families, school and religious groups, animals and rural scenes. In 1982, the Ohio Historical Society received the collection, still housed in the original dry plate negative boxes purchased by Albert J. Ewing. A selection of the original glass plate negatives were exhibited for the first time in 2013 at the Ohio Historical Center. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Portrait of Civil War officer Benjamin D. Fearing in uniform. Fearing, born in 1837, was a descendent of Ohio's earliest European settlers. He graduated from Marietta College and was living in Cincinnati at the beginning of the Civil War. He immediately joined the Army and left for Washington, D.C., with a unit that became the 2nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. When he returned to Ohio, Fearing assisted in organizing the 36th Ohio, 63rd Ohio, and 77th Ohio. He was promoted several times, achieving the rank of major. Distinguished service in the battle at Shiloh Church earned him a promotion to Lieutenant Colonel, and then Colonel, of the 92nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. After recovering from a severe wound at the Battle of Chickamauga, he was able to return to service. In December 1864, President Lincoln appointed him Brigadier-General for his conduct in the Atlanta Campaign. Fearing commanded the Third Brigade, Fourteenth Corps until he received a disabling wound to his right hand. View on Ohio Memory.
