Long before the city of Upper Sandusky was established as the seat of Wyandot County in 1843, the fertile farming and hunting land along the Sandusky River was a village of the Wyandotte Indian Nation. African American Methodist minister John Stewart established a mission here to serve the Wyandottes, creating a model of peaceful living between pioneers and Native Americans, until the Wyandottes were moved to Indian Territory by the federal government. Upper Sandusky shows the growth of a Midwest town from the end of the Civil War through World War II using historic photographs of people, organizations, and landmarks. From local bands to buildings lost in fires, Upper Sandusky documents how the town has changed and how the strong bonds of family, adversity, and triumph keep the community growing together.

The Sandusky Plains were once home to wandering bands of Wyandot and Delaware Native Americans, and early settlers endured a hard pioneer life. William Crawford led his famous expedition here in 1782, and Fort Ferree was built during the War of 1812. Over the years, Wyandot County has been home to many other important events and people. Astronaut Neil Armstrong attended Upper Sandusky Junior High, and Upper Sandusky High School held the first all-night prom in 1948, which was featured in Look magazine. The famous television comedian Cliff Arquette haled from Carey, and Lovell is close to one of the largest solar fields east of the Mississippi River. Each town in Wyandot County has contributed to its growth and prosperity, making it a great place to raise a family. Images of America: Wyandot County explores the history of this great county through historical photographs.

Dust jacket notes: "Because watercolor is unique in so many ways - transparency, rapid drying time, behavior in mixtures, and tendencey to produce fascinating 'accidents,' color is always a special challenge to the watercolorist. Working in this high-speed medium, the painter cannot hesitate, and he rarely gets a chance to change his mind. He must know how his colors will behave before he starts. Now, the noted western watercolorist Tom Hill has revised his highly successful book Color for the Watercolor Painter. The new material is of the same high quality as that in the first edition. He reviews basic materials, tools, and watercolro techniques, discusses color theory in simple down-to-earth terms, and evaluates the most useful tube colors, describing how each color behaves and how best to use it. He describes how to achieve textural effects, how to mix colors, how to choose color palettes (warm, cool, low-key, high-key, tonal, minimum) for various purposes and how to create the effects of distance and atmosphere through color. And in a series of full-color step-by-step demonstration projects, he illustrates how to use color effectively in landscapes, seascapes, floral paintings, portraits, and figure paintings. In addition, the revised edition contains 32 completely new full-color pages in which Hill discusses color intensity versus color value, how to mix different complements, opacity versus transparency, and relationships of warm and cool, warm and warm, and cool and cool. He also describes mixing with a minimum number of colors, mixing color while painting, graying colors, intensifying colors, staining and tinting, painting with just two colors, and bouncing colors (picking up reflected light)...." 160 pages, 8.25 x 11 inches, 48 full-color pages, 84 black-and-white illustrations, Bibliography, Index.

Go with Tom Hill on location ... from Gloucester Harbor to the Grand Tetons, from a desert oasis to the Greek island of Santorini. Watch - and learn - as he paints a charming Midwest farmhouse, the early morning light at Hania, the market day crowd at Ocotlan and other exciting locations. Eleven step-by-step demonstrations show how Hill thinks, how he chooses techniques, how he decides what to put in and what to take out of the scene in front of him ... how he expresses the very essence, color and personality of scenes from around the world. By seeing the actual scene Hill is painting, as well as "over-the-shoulder" photos that show the piece as it progresses, you'll get a working sense of how you can transform extraordinary - even ordinary - scenes into exciting and expressive watercolor compositions.
