Zane Grey beneath Rainbow Bridge photograph
Zane Grey beneath Rainbow Bridge photograph Save
Description: This photograph shows author Zane Grey beneath Rainbow Bridge in Utah. Rainbow Bridge is also known as Nonnezoshe, or "rainbow turned to stone," a name given by the Paiute and Navajo people who lived nearby. The photograph belongs to the Zane Grey Photograph Collection. Grey was a popular and widely-read novelist of the American West. He was born in Zanesville, Ohio, on January 31, 1872, to Lewis Grey and Alice Josephine Zane Grey. As a teenager, Grey was an excellent baseball player. He won a baseball scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied to become a dentist. Once he left school and began his dental practice in New York, Grey realized that he was not happy. He decided to leave dentistry behind and become a writer. Grey's first novel, "Betty Zane" drew inspiration from the stories he had heard about frontier Ohio when he was growing up. He wrote "Betty Zane" in 1904 but was not able to find a publisher at first. Refusing to give up, Grey traveled west and continued writing. In 1910, he had his first success when Harper's Magazine published "The Heritage of the Desert." Two years later, Harper's published "Riders of the Purple Sage." Grey died unexpectedly of a heart attack on October 23, 1939. By the time of his death, he had written almost ninety books. Most of his books were Westerns, but he also wrote nine books that had a fishing theme. Grey also published many short stories, a biography of George Washington as a young man, and several stories for children. Some of Grey's other popular Western novels included "Spirit of the Border" "Desert Gold" "The Last Trail" "The Call of the Canyon" and "The Thundering Herd." View on Ohio Memory.

Birdie Schmidt at bomber christening
Birdie Schmidt at bomber christening Save
Description: Photograph taken during the christening of the B-24 "Birdie Schmidt" bomber, August 10, 1944. Seen from left to right are Schmidt (now Birdie Schmidt Larrick), Honorable Frances and Mary Roche, their father Morris (Lord Fermoy) and Lt. Col. Lorin Johnson of Utah. During World War II, Columbus native Birdie Schmidt Larrick (1919-2009) became the only woman serving in the Red Cross to have an American bomber named after her. In early December 1943, Birdie traveled to the Air Base in Wendling, England, as program director of the American Red Cross (ARC) Aero Club. Also stationed in Wendling was the 392nd Bombardment Group (BG), which moved to the base in August 1943 and was assigned to the 8th Air Force. As program director, and later as director, Birdie's responsibilities included managing the Aero Club staff, organizing programs and events for the enlisted men and officers, and managing the club's supplies for soldiers. Because of her popularity among the men at the base, the 392nd named a B-24 Liberator the "Birdie Schmidt ARC" in her honor. A portrait of Birdie's face was painted on one side of the bomber with the symbol for the Red Cross on the other. The plane flew missions from August 1944 until it was shot down in February 1945. That same year, Birdie joined the ARC Cinemobile and performed with the 7th Army Special Service Shows before returning home in November of 1945. View on Ohio Memory.

Kirtland Temple inner wall photograph
Kirtland Temple inner wall photograph Save
Description: Taken by photographer Ihna Thayer Frary in 1934, this photograph shows the inner wall of the Mormon Temple in Kirtland, Ohio. Construction of the Temple began in 1833, and it was dedicated in 1836, as the first church constructed by the Church of the Latter-day Saints, also known as the LDS Church or the Mormon Church. Kirtland Temple was the spiritual center of the Mormon Church until the majority of Mormons there left in 1838 to follow founder Joseph Smith, Jr., westward to Missouri, Illinois, and eventually Utah. The three-story structure is built primarily of sandstone stuccoed with plaster. Kirtland Temple achieved National Historic Landmark status in 1976. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1873, Ihna Thayer Frary was a prominent American art and architecture scholar, whose primary interest was the architectural heritage of the region of northeastern Ohio known as the Western Reserve. In addition to serving as publicity and membership secretary of the Cleveland Museum of Art, he was a professor of Ohio and American architecture at the Cleveland Institute of Art and Western Reserve University's School of Architecture. Over the course of his career, Frary was a design consultant for private clients and designed furniture, and was an active member of several prominent arts councils in the Cleveland area. In 1963, Frary and his two sons donated his entire photographic collection to the Ohio Historical Society (now the Ohio History Connection). The Ihna Thayer Frary Collection consists of 4,000 5 x 7 photographs of private residences, churches, taverns, and public buildings, as well as select rural buildings, bridges, archaeological sites, and public monuments.
