Walking
the
Steps
of
Cincinnati:
A
Guide
to
the
Queen
City’s
Scenic
and
Historic
Secretsis
a
revised
and
updated
version
of
Mary
Anna
DuSablon’s
original
guidebook,
first
published
in
1998.
This
new
edition
describes
and
maps
thirty-four
walks
of
varying
lengths
and
levels
of
difficulty
around
the
neighborhoods
of
Cincinnati,
following
scenic
or
historic
routes
and
taking
in
many
of
the
city’s
more
than
four
hundred
sets
of
steps.
Some
of
these
walks
follow
the
same
routes
laid
out
by
DuSablon
in
the
first
edition
of
the
guide;
others
have
been
revised
to
reflect
changes
in
the
city
and
its
neighborhoods,
the
physical
condition
of
the
steps,
and
the
scenic
views
of
Cincinnati
that
they
afford;
and
still
others
are
altogether
new.
In writing their descriptions of the walks, authors Connie J. Harrell and John Cicmanec have retraced each path and taken all new photographs of the steps as well as architectural and natural landmarks along the way. Cartographer Brian Balsley has drawn a fresh set of maps, and Roxanne Qualls, vice-mayor of Cincinnati, has graciously written a new foreword.

“Walking
the
Steps
of
Cincinnati:
A
Guide
to
the
Queen
City’s
Scenic
and
Historic
Secretsis
a
wholly
delightful
book
that
first
appeared
in
1998
and
returns
in
a
revised
edition
as
the
weather
invites
taking
full
advantage
of
its
subject
matter….
A
labor
of
love
by
its
original
author,
the
late
Mary
Anna
DuSablon,
Connie
J.
Harrell
and
John
Cicmanec
bring
the
same
warmth
and
pleasure
to
their
updating
of
Walking
the
Steps
of
Cincinnati
as
did
its
original
author….
Grade:
A”—CityBeat
“(Walking
the
Steps
of
Cincinnati,)
is
a
splendid
collection
of
walks….
The
walks
provide
intimate
glimpses
of
a
city
you
thought
you
knew,
but
suddenly
realize
you
didn’t….
Cincinnati
has
many
assets
that
are
rightly
celebrated,
but
its
steps
have
never,
to
my
knowledge,
been
among
them.
With
any
luck,
this
book
may
change
that.”—Cincinnati
Magazine
“Will
enrich
your
knowledge

“Even
Cincinnatians
probably
aren't
familiar
with
all
the
hundreds
of
sets
of
steps
that
traverse
the
city's
seven
hills….
History,
scenery,
and
city
life
are
woven
together
with
engaging
enthusiasm.”—American
