   The 3 non-postcard images above are of Dan Beard, founder of the Boy Scouts. He was born in Cincinnati on June 21, 1850. He lived at 322 East Third Street in Covington, Kentucky which was near the Licking River until he was 21. As a boy he explored the woods and river and made sketches of nature. His early careers were as an engineer and surveyor, and he attended art school in New York City. He wrote a series of articles for the St. Nicholas magazine that later became the basis for the American Boy's Handy Book. He illustrated a number of books for Mark Twain (A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court) and other authors.
   Beard became the editor of Recreation magazine in which he wrote a monthly column for youth. In 1905 he founded the Sons of Daniel Boone, basing it on American frontier traditions. He moved his column to Women's Home Companion but after a new editor caused conflicts, he once again moved his column to the Pictorial Review. Because Women's Home Companion retained the rights to the name, he renamed the organization the Boy Pioneers of America.
   He merged his organization into the Boy Scouts of America when it was founded in 1910. Beard served for 30 years as one of the National Scout Commissioners of the Boy Scouts.
   Beard also helped his sister Lina Beard organize the Camp Fire Girls in 1910, and was the president of the Camp Fire Club of America.
   Beard died on June 11, 1941 and is buried in the Brick Church Cemetery in Spring Valley, New York.
   There is a statue of Daniel Carter Beard in Covington along the Ohio River next to his boyhood home, now a National Historic Landmark. Of course the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge, which carries I-471 across the Ohio River, was named for him.

TROOPS  IN  CINCINNATI  1917

   In 1917 with the United States now at war in Europe it was felt that the need to guard Federal property and the bridges and arteries into the Cincinnati area was necessary. Thus in April of 1917 the Third Ohio Infantry was sent to Cincinnati and camped at Lincoln Park (where Cincinnati Union Terminal now sits). The 1st postcard was taken in front of the Ferger Grain Co. which was located at Hopkins & President Place which was west of Lincoln Park and no longer exists due to the construction of Cincinnati Union Terminal. The building in the 3rd card is the C. F. Streit Mfg. Co. (furniture) which was at 1040-1052 Kenner. Kenner is parallel to the terminal on the North side. The regiment was later moved to Eden Park and the 4th postcard shows this camp. Besides posting sentries on the bridges and other government buildings the Third Ohio was used to guard the giant ammunition plant at King's Mill, Ohio. The Carthage Fair Grounds were also used for their camp. In August the Third said farewell amid many speeches and a parade. The duties of the Third were taken over by the First Ohio which moved onto the old Sharonville Speedway, (see Panorama page of the Bird's-Eye-View section).
