Sobre este artículo
1843. The history of Centre County in Pennsylvania, is recalled through a mixture of colorful tales and factual data in this NEW 38 Page Booklet, reprinted primarily from from four hard-to-find vintage books. The spiral-bound booklet is printed one-sided on 60# paper, with the print size adjusted to fit 8 1/2 x 11 paper. A clear vinyl sheet protects the front cover. Source books include: "Historical Collections of the State of Pennsylvania" (1843) by Sherman Day; "An Illustrated History of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" (1876) by William Egle, M.D.; "Pennsylvania, a Guide to the Keystone State" compiled by WPA writers; and "My Pennsylvania," a 1946 project of the Bureau of Publications, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. (Some Information may be repeated in various excerpts, but often with a different slant or with additional details.)

The Day and Egle histories cover the early development of this area, while excerpts from the WPA book, give a nostalgic glimpse from a 1940 vantage point, including interesting historical notes, especially as they relate to sightseeing possibilities. There is occasionally some duplication of material, but often with a different slant or with additional details. Among the many and diverse subjects in the booklet are: Early Iron and Coal production; Two opposites: Jonas and Daniel Davis; Logan, the celebrated Mingo Chief; Snowshoe Camp; Potter's Fort; Spring Creek; Early Settlers; Biography of Statesman Andrew Gregg; Gen.

ILLUSTRATIONS include Bellefonte, Pennsylvania State College, View of Bellefonte, Bald Eagle's Nest on Spring Creek, Penn's Valley from Nittany Mountain, and Gap North of Bellefonte.
