Summary
The County in Mid-Century, 1840-1865. Each of these parts is more art than narrative-an editorial feature which reverses the usual historical work where a few appropriate illustrations are added to enhance the narrative. Both author and artist deserve the highest praise for their selection and combination of the most significant Lancaster history with the most appropriate art.
