Author: Blair Seitz
Fascinating, vintage images and glorious color photographs bring to life the rich history of the Keystone State in Pennsylvania Yesterday & Today. Come and explore the life and culture of the birthplace of the nation, from early Native American tribes to the arrival of William Penn; from the states central role in building a new democracy to its industrial muscle in making the nation work.
The legacy of this vibrant past and dramatic growth is evident today in cities, towns, and countryside throughout the state. From the halls of Philadelphia, birthplace of the Constitution, to the now-peaceful battlefields of Gettysburg; from Pennsylvania Dutch Country to the steel mills of Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania: here is the state as it was and as it is, town and countryside, city skylines, landmark sights and scenes.
This is a tour of living history at its most compelling.
