I've likewise added The Paragraph, with its very well-written and engaging content, to the Blogger "My Blog List" on my site. Thanks also for the tip about and the link to Goll Woods. I will be sure to make the trip with my wife and 8-year-old daughter next time we are in the Archbold area. Truly amazing that such a decent-sized tract of virgin timber still remains from an era preceding the first European footprints in the Great Black Swamp! Hello Quinn,

I also like the writing and material -- it's good, interesting content. I have added <a href="http://theblackswampcornucopia.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Black Swamp Cornucopia</a> to the blogroll at <a href="http://theparagraph.com/" rel="nofollow">The Paragraph</a>. I am planning to tour the patch of Black Swamp primeval forest at <a href="http://www.ohio-nature.com/goll-woods.html" rel="nofollow">Goll Woods</a>, where we have 400- and 500-year-old trees. I didn't make it in August as I had planned, but may shoot for spring, before the mosquitoes come out. -- Quinn Hello Buzz —

I like your blog’s concept of pairing old coins with Black Swamp regional history — you don’t find that anywhere else. I also like the writing and material — it’s good, interesting content. I have added Black Swamp Cornucopia to the blogroll at The Paragraph.

I had not yet seen the great map you posted; that was really informative. I will have to check out the Wood Co. Black Swamp Conservation and Restoration Area sometime (is it open to the public?) Your use of citation and bibliography are also admirable; I would like to go in and re-tool my brand-new blog (http://theblackswampcornucopia.blogspot.com/) a bit to similarly city with appropriate bibliography. In it, (among other things) I am attempting to show high-resolution photo examples of early U.S. coins paired with events from contemporaneous year-matched U.S. history, especially focusing on NW Ohio and the Great Black Swamp region. I will link to your blog in the near future. Hello Quinn,

It would have been wonderous to see the swamp in it's original glory and wildlife! Well written by the author. As someone from Michigan I find this to be a facinating article.

There are links to buy them in the article, but I think these books should definitely be in a Paulding County library too. The "Wikipedia entry for Paulding County":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulding_County,_Ohio notes its Black Swamp credentials: The land is the most level of any county in the state, and plats look like a checkerboard, with roads every mile. This level terrain resulted in Paulding County being entirely within the Great Black Swamp, unlike any other. Quinn Hungeski Hi Judy —
