General Thomas W. Sanderson

[AllanY2525]

Gen. Sanderson had an interesting life, and you're right that he was VERY highly
thought of in Youngstown - he was also an attorney and wrote a great book about
the history of Youngstown and Mahoning County, and the movers and shakers of
his time.

He included his own autobiography in this volume.
