The History of Erlanger by Henry F. Childress Was a Huge Asset In Piecing Together Erlanger’s Past

henry-f-childressThe Erlanger Historical Society published a History of Erlanger in 1997 cal “From Buffalo Trails to the 21st Century: the History of Erlanger” and it has sold hundreds of copies. Henry Childress’ history was a great help in compiling the history of the City of Erlanger.

An Excerpt From The First Part of  Henry F. Childress’ History of Erlanger (1924)…

Prompted by a love for Erlanger, the people of Erlanger, I have tried to record all of the historical facts which I have been able to procure. My hope is that this effort on my part will encourage some more capable writer to take up the work I have started, and complete it in a more credible manner.
Sincerely, H. F. Childress
