This NEW 8.5" x 11" booklet "Personal Reflections of Fairfield, Ohio USA" is an excerpt from "A Complete History of Fairfield County Ohio" written by Hervey Scott. The original book was published in 1877 by Siebert & Lilley of Columbus. The 60 page spiral bound booklet is printed on bond paper with the front cover protected with a vinyl sheet.
