Sherwood Anderson's boyhood town
Clyde's best-known story is a book. Sherwood Anderson spent his boyhood years here, from 1884 to 1895. In 1919 he published Winesburg, Ohio, his most famous book. According to the Ohio History Connection's Sherwood Anderson marker, Clyde and small-town Ohio inspired many of its tales. He wrote 27 works in all. He was also a big influence on younger writers, like William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck. The marker stands at Clyde Railroad Plaza on Railroad Street, close to the middle of town.
General McPherson and East McPherson Highway
The long highway on the map shares its name with another son of Clyde. James Birdseye McPherson was born here on November 14, 1828. Back then the town was called Hamer's Corners. He left home at 13 to work in nearby Green Springs. Later he finished first in his class at West Point. In the Civil War, General Grant picked him to lead the Army of the Tennessee. He was killed in the battle of Atlanta on July 22, 1864. According to the state marker for General McPherson, he was the youngest and highest ranking Union officer killed in the war. His home at 300 East McPherson Highway is on the National Register of Historic Places. He's buried in McPherson Cemetery, near where McPherson Highway meets Maple Street. You'll also spot Birdseye Street and Hamer Street on the map.
