Quotes:
The Ohio River has seen many of its towns develop through industry and river commerce and has watched them collapse when its life slowed down; but as the river sweeps past the city on its southwesterly journey, it finds Marietta always alive and generally prosperous, modern yet delightfully old.
-- WPA Guide to Ohio, 1940
