The book shows the ways in which the lives of the people of Pennsylvania on the eve of the Revolution reflected the colonial experience in general, as well as the ways in which Pennsylvania was unique. It traces the response of Pennsylvanians to the geography and conditions of their land~its mountains and rivers, its flora and fauna, its natural resources. It shows the struggle of Pennsylvanians to survive and earn a livelihood; how they adapted their ideas of education and religion to their new society; how they responded in their science, medicine, and technology to their practical needs as well as to the intellectual climate of the 18th century; what they did in their leisure time and what they achieved in the arts; and how through it all they forged a political consciousness which led them to break with their mother country, establish their own government, and begin their fight for independence. The book charts the contribution both to "Peaceable Pennsylvania" and to Pennsylvania's Revolutionary War effort among all people in the commonwealth~whether from city, town, village, or farm: whether American Indian, African, or European in origin. Contributions of both the more numerous settlers (English, German, and Scotch~Irish) and also the less numerous ones (Swiss, Swedish, French, Welsh, Dutch, Jewish, Polish, and Italian) are clearly depicted. In reconstructing the political, social, economic, and cultural activities of the Commonwealth in the nation's first year, Pennsylvania 1776 portrays colorfully and accurately life among Pennsylvanians of all kinds~male or female, old or young, famous or obscure, skilled or unskilled, rich or poor, military or civilian. A lively yet authoritative narrative text has been wntten by twenty~five specialists from throughout The Pennsylvania State University. This text is accompanied by sixty~eight vignettes ~ brief essays on significant persons, groups, places, things, and processes~by fiftv~five qualified faculty members. Closely coordinated with vignettes and text are approximately five hundred and fifty pictures and maps, with forty~two illustrations in color. Most of the illustrations are from colonial or Revolutionary sources, and all have been checked for their accuracy. Addressed to all citizens~laymen as well as students and teachers ~ Pennsylvania 1776 combines readability with authenticity. Both text and vignettes are enlivened with lengthy quotations from letters, diaries, newspaper and magazine articles, and books by representative colonial Pennsylvanians and visitors. Vignettes and accompanying pictures embrace subjects of high human interest including architecture and furnishings, Black and Indian spokesmen, Conestoga wagons and rifles, dress and heating devices, inns and taverns, religion and science, women and family life. This book is a part of Penn State's Bicentennial program, which is recognized by the American Revolution Bicentennial Commiss.

Paperback. (Vol. X, No. 3). 8vo. Wrappers. 19pp. Near fine. Humanist, author, poet and civil rights champion Corliss Lamont (1902-95) served as chairman of this organization, one of his favorite causes, and a caricature of him graces the front wrapper of this issue, whose title is "ECLC's New Chairman." This particular copy belonged to contributor JOHN BEECHER (1904-80), the noted social protest poet and fine press publisher, whose poem "A Humble Petition to the President of Harvard" fills pages 10 and 11. Beecher placed checkmarks next to four lines, and a 3" X 3" yellow Post-It note written by Beecher's wife, artist Barbara Beecher, records that "J.B. checked off lines in poem -- breaks in lines were incorrect p. 10." She also pencils big and bold across the top of the front wrapper, "Marked Copy -- See Pg. 10." A choice association copy demonstrating this radical poet's commitment to various social causes.
