History is made person by person. In this landmark Encyclopedia Of Pennsylvania Biography (Volume II), editor John W. Jordan assembles vivid sketches of prominent Pennsylvania citizens whose character, industry and public spirit shaped the Commonwealth across the nineteenth century and the early years of the new age. These lives shaped a state. Drawn from public records, local memory and contemporary appreciation, these turn of the century biographies open a window onto 19th century Pennsylvania history as it was remembered by those who lived closest to it. A classic American biographical reference and genealogical biography collection, this Pennsylvania biography encyclopedia traces the careers and lineages of Pennsylvania notable families, state leaders and pioneers in politics, law, business, education, religion and the arts. Names, dates, places and relationships make it an invaluable genealogy research resource and local history reference book for anyone exploring family roots, town histories or the wider story of American development. Shelved alongside other trusted Pennsylvania genealogy books and the great American local history series, it rewards both the casual reader browsing lives of character and the serious researcher seeking reliable context and detail. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
