Book Description
Famous for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Ashland has a deep history that goes far beyond the stage. From a 160-year-old unsolved murder to a newcomer whose "healing hands" drew people from all over the country, the town has attracted its fair share of unique characters. Vladimir Nabokov came to pursue his favorite hobby, butterfly collecting, while writing his famously controversial novel, Lolita, and an actor turned entrepreneur became one of the foremost recyclers long before it was mainstream. Discover the story behind Ashland's golf course cemetery and the gloveless baseball team of 1884. Join local historian Joe Peterson as he explores the fascinating past of this colorful town.

Book Description
The first three days of October, 1954, have been set aside for the celebration of the 100th birthday of the City of Ashland. The Celebration is based upon the actual starting of Ashland in 1854, when the Kentucky Iron, Coal & Manufacturing Company was chartered, purchased a large part of the present site of the city, laid it out into lots and Levi Hampton suggested the name of Ashland. As early as 1786 there had been the beginning of a settlement, known as Poage Settlement or Poage's Landing, on the banks of the Ohio, but it was not until 1854 that the real potentialities for a great industrial city were realized.
