Bronson History of Tallmadge and the Western Reserve

Charles Cook Bronson’s History of Tallmadge and the Western Reserve, 1633-1866
in 10 Volumes
Table of Contents
Charles Cook Bronson (1804-1886) authored ten volumes on the history of Tallmadge and the
Western Reserve. The original volumes, along with accompanying material such as oral
presentations by Bronson and obituaries, were transcribed by Tobi Battista of the Tallmadge
Historical Society using an electric typewriter between July of 1995 and January of 1997.
Battista then organized the transcriptions into five three-ring binders and created a table of
contents for each volume.
In 2005/2006, Fred Wybenga, also of the Tallmadge Historical Society, re-entered and expanded
the table of contents for each volume using a word processing program (Word) to allow for
easier data search and retrieval. The electronic version of these new tables of contents was
turned over to the Special Collections Division of the Akron-Summit County Public Library for
their use and further distribution. The ten individual tables of contents have been combined into
one table and sorted alphabetically by name/topic to create the table that appears below. The
numbers preceding the colon refer to the volume number, while the number(s) after the
colon refer to the page number(s).
Hard copies of the transcribed volumes to which this table refers are available at the following
locations:
• Akron-Summit County Public Library, Main Library, Special Collections Division
(Rstck call # 977.136 C475)
• Akron-Summit County Public Library, Tallmadge Branch Library (within the Frank E.
Lawrence History of Tallmadge Collection)
• Tallmadge Historical Society office in the Old Town Hall, Tallmadge Circle, Ohio
It is strongly recommended that researchers access the information at the library locations rather
than at the Tallmadge Historical Society, which is not staffed to accommodate researchers.
