Summary
"Fascinating book containing over 175 previously unpublished photographs from around the Cocalico Valley. The photographs are arranged by municipality, span the years 1870 through the 1960's, and represent local events, buildings, and even a few personalities from bygone days. Each photograph is accompanied by text that records the history of the image." [from the Journal of the Historical Society Of The Cocalico Valley]
"Pastor Croll was an accomplished historian and obviously made use of the best available sources for his text...he discovered, in the Historical Society of Pennsylvania,...the first history of Oley, the lengthy manuscript entitled 'Fragment of the past history of Oley', by Dr. Peter G. Bertolet...This was based largely on interviews with Oley Valley residents, many of whom were born in the 18th century....After several competent historical chapters on the settlement and early religious patterns and conflicts in the Valley, Pastor Croll concentrates on some of the major families of Oley."
