Inhaltsangabe

At a 7 October 1910 meeting in Lancaster County Pennsylvania, members of the Lancaster County Historical Society gathered to study their own past. History speaks from the source. Their papers, preserved in this local history monograph, form a rich instalment of the ongoing historical society proceedings of the Lancaster County Historical Society. Blending narrative, documentation and careful observation, these early 1900s Pennsylvania voices explore the county's past in its own words, offering primary source documents and reflective essays that illuminate everyday life, institutions and families. The result is a key work of Pennsylvania local history that still feels immediate, humane and surprisingly vivid. For readers tracing Lancaster County genealogy or undertaking serious genealogy research, this volume is a quiet trove and a dependable genealogy research resource: names, places and perspectives embedded in authentic contemporaneous commentary, ideal for local historians and students of Pennsylvania county histories. It also reveals how American historical societies at the turn of the century worked in their "own workshop", shaping memory from meeting-room to printed page and leaving an enduring record of Lancaster County history. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, this careful new edition invites both curious general readers and classic-literature collectors to rediscover a county observing itself with rare intimacy and care.
