Request for citations-- symbolic meanings of Ohio in the nation

Dear Colleagues,

I am currently a Visiting Fellow in the University of Nottingham’s program “Art and the American Midwest” (http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/art-history/research/projects/art-and-the-american-midwest.aspx).  As part of my research, I am looking for writings about how Ohio, or the larger Midwestern region, came to symbolize “normalcy” within the nation.  Do you have any suggestions for citations?
