Summary

Ink Making Methods explores the rich history and complex chemistry behind ink, tracing its evolution from ancient soot-based concoctions to modern, chemically sophisticated formulas. The book uniquely blends art history and archival science, examining how different ink recipes influenced manuscript production and artistic techniques across civilizations. Early inks, for instance, relied on readily available materials like gum Arabic as binders, significantly shaping writing styles of the time. The narrative progresses chronologically, starting with ancient inks and their cultural significance, then moving to the alchemical innovations of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, exemplified by the widespread use of iron gall ink. This type of ink, while historically important, is known for its corrosive effect on parchment. The book culminates in an exploration of modern ink chemistry, detailing the role of synthetic dyes and pigments while also addressing the environmental impact of ink production. Throughout, the book combines historical accounts, scientific data, and artistic analyses to provide a comprehensive understanding.

Ohio was at the heart of it all. 
 
 
 
During a dark time in United States history, thousands of freedom seekers traveled the Underground Railroad through Ohio. The Buckeye State hosted about half of all fugitive slave traffic of the antebellum era. A mix of Northern and Southern settlers in the state added drama to a struggle that led to major benefits for the state and the country. Unfortunately, this epic past was obscured by silence and secrecy and then distorted with misinformation and folklore—until now. 
 
 
 
Author and native Ohioan Kathy Schulz accurately details the development and workings of Ohio's Underground Railroad with true stories of Addison White, John Parker, and others.
