County Chronicles, A Vivid Collection of PA Histories: Volume 1, 2nd Edition
|
| |
| If you haven't yet read a chapter of the award-winning COUNTY CHRONICLES series, you haven't discovered how much fun reading history can be. With meticulous research and her "state-of-the-heart" storytelling, Ceane O'Hanlon-Lincoln breathes life into Pennsylvania's historical figures and events with language that flows and captivates all the senses. Readers don't just read about the events that unfold on County Chronicles' turning pages--they experience them. With the sell-out of the limited edition premiere volume, we've introduced a second edition of Volume I because of popular demand. In this revised volume, readers will: Witness Washington's perilous crossing of the icy Delaware; Experience countless thrills and chills on the Pennsylvania frontier; Descend into the inky, dank pits with the coal miners of a century ago; Travel back in time to discover the origin of the holidays we celebrate; Take cover and fight alongside the brave Highlanders and their American scouts at the pivotal Battle of Bushy Run during Pontiac's War; Stride through time with native son George C. Marshall to learn why history has christened him the "Great One"; Skip back in time with those who remember the trolleys; Also--readers will visit: Several of PA's covered bridges, tunnels to the past, stepping stones of history; Andrew Carnegie's Skibo Castle in the magical mists of the Scottish Highlands; Frontier forts, battlegrounds, museums, and places of interest; Not to mention several unsolved mysteries and haunted Pennsylvania sites. And that is only a sampling of what is between the beautiful covers of this vivid collection of some of Pennsylvania's most exciting true stories! 260 pages, hardcover. |
