Step inside Lancaster County's past as its early guardians saw it, preserved in their own words and records. History lives in these pages. Issued in 1908 as part of the Lancaster County Historical Society Papers, this rich local history collection gathers essays, notes, and society minutes that reveal the texture of early 1900s Pennsylvania looking back on its colonial roots. From reflections on history in her own workshop, to studies of Amos and Elias E. Ellmaker, an evocative old diary, an account of Robert Bell, printer, and a stirring American Revolution letter, the volume offers primary source documents that bring Lancaster County history vividly to life. For family historians and researchers, the detailed names, places, and anecdotes embedded in these pages make an invaluable genealogy research resource for anyone tracing Lancaster County genealogy or exploring Pennsylvania Dutch history and colonial era Lancaster. As a local history reference, it captures how community members in the early twentieth century interpreted their Revolutionary War documents, preserved an important American Revolution letter, and curated the stories that shaped their townships and farmsteads. 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. Thoughtfully prepared for modern readers while preserving the authenticity of the original Lancaster County Historical Society papers, this edition appeals equally to casual lovers of local history and to serious scholars and classic-literature collectors.
