Description |
Would it surprise you that dairy farming was so important in the lives of many nineteenth-century Ohioans that the Western Reserve region was referred to as "Cheesedom?" For Sandusky, Ohio-native John Jay Barber, who specialized in this genre, dairy cattle were a common and admired feature of the Ohio landscape. |
