History Links
Here is a growing list of links to history of the Wheeling area. In time each of these will be tied to a page about the place where the history happened. Most of these are from LOC - Library of Congress. For now, this is a repository - add some links yourself. - tychocrater tychocrater Jun 23, 2007

History of Wheeling During the Past Forty Years - (ND, 1887 or later) Chuck Julian found and had scanned this little known book. He also provided this biographical information from the Bethany College archivist: A superb account by Wilde, who begins this history in January 1837, when he arrived in Wheeling. Wilde, who is not listed in the 1839 city directory (which itself contains a good summary of the city at that time), is described in the directory for 1851 as a professor of music, and in the 1856 and 1876 directories as a book-and-stationery dealer (entry showed the firm's name as "Wilde & Bro.," with E. L. Wilde as the brother). This history was included in the directory for 1879, a fine description of Wheeling in 1815). Wilde's recollections provide much that is not found elsewhere. Rare.
