About this book

Christopher Busta-Peck explores lesser-known aspects of Cleveland's history that risk being forgotten. The book visits specific locations tied to significant figures and events, including the East 100th Street home where Jesse Owens lived before competing in the 1936 Olympics, and Langston Hughes's attic apartment on East 86th Street, where the writer stayed during his sophomore and junior years of high school. Busta-Peck examines notable structures and industrial landmarks in Cleveland, from the Brown Hoist Building and Hulett ore unloaders to some of the city's oldest surviving buildings. Drawing on research from his Cleveland Area History blog, the book documents local history that shaped the city.
