In issue 6, we unmask a figure who feels larger than life. A visionary leader, a brilliant orator, and a fierce warrior who tried to build the ultimate alliance to save his people's homeland. He was a man who saw the big picture when everyone else was focused on drawing borders. Today, we unveil the origin story of... Tecumseh!

In issue 5, we unmask a figure whose invention you have almost certainly seen, worn, or been carried in. A pediatric nurse from Southwest Ohio who traveled to West Africa, witnessed a completely different way of parenting, and came home to spark a global revolution. She created a massive cottage industry of local farm women, landed her work in the Smithsonian, and completely changed the way modern parents bond with their children. Today, we unveil the origin story of... Ann Moore!

In issue 4, we unmask a figure who feels like he was pulled straight out of an adventure novel. A soldier of fortune who fought for Frederick the Great, a hero of the American Revolution, and the man who kept his cool when everyone around him was losing theirs. He was a professional soldier, a Revolutionary War hero, and the man who transitioned Cincinnati from a rough, muddy military outpost into an actual, functioning town. Today, we unveil the origin story of... David Ziegler!

In Issue 3, we unmask...a New York Times Best Seller, a viral sensation, and arguably the most famous Cincinnatian of the 21st century - Fiona the Hippo. This girl has an ice cream flavor named after her, a painted mural in Over-the-Rhine, and millions of followers around the globe who check her status every single day.

Sally Fossett was a stylist who served the wealthy by day and fought for freedom by night. She integrated the streetcars of Cincinnati nearly 100 years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat in the so-called black section of a bus to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama.

He was a trailblazing physician, an educator, and a tireless public servant who overcame personal hardship to become a giant in Greater Cincinnati. Issue One of Quote of the Queen City features Dr. O'dell Moreno Owens!
