Contents
The volume is divided into five parts : Indians and early settlers to 1740 --- Personalities nd Patriots 1740 to 1800 -- City and Country Life 1800 to 1820 -- Trade and Transportation 1820 to 1840 -- The County In Midcentury 1840 to 1865
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.
