Excerpt from A Picture of Lycoming County: Written and Compiled by the Lycoming County Unit of the Pennsylvania Writers' Project of the Work Projects Administration; Sponsored by the Superintendent of Schools of Lycoming County, Frank H. Painter
In A Picture of Lycoming County I believe that The Pennsylvania Writers' Project has prepared a book well fitted for use in teaching the history of our county.
Interestingly written, it cannot help but give a truer and better picture of local history to any readers, from seventh and eighth grade pupils up to adults, many of whom will find the book stirring up reminiscences of their own youth.
