Description

Book excerpt:

Demolished log houses, a Lutheran Church riot, a long-vanished city park, autographs in plaster in Lititz, forgotten storefronts on Cabbage Hill, ancient cemeteries in the southern end, an abandoned quarry near Rohrerstown—these are some of the wide-ranging topics included in this collection of historical essays about Lancaster City and County. Meticulously researched, rich in detail, and with over 100 photographs and other illustrations, these stories bring to life some of the fascinating people, places, and events that have helped shape our local history since our county was founded nearly 300 years ago.
