Ohio is the quintessential American not strictly farm or industrial, small-town or urban, but equally all of these. Golfers flock to the state's 612 public and resort courses, and all enjoy the scenic Lake Erie shore, the Soap Box Derby, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Glasshouse Works Greenhouses, where the world's most exotic plants are cultivated. Here is a rousing tribute to the Buckeye state-home to eight presidents and a host of important Americans from the Wright Brothers, James Thurber, Toni Morrison, and John Glenn to Superman, raised as Clark Kent on an Ohio farm.
