Montelius, who lived from 1791 to 1859, printed broadsides in the German language, many with graphic images. He taught and printed in Reamstown from about 1810 to 1813 and again from 1818 to 1823, before moving to Union and later Northumberland counties, Pennsylvania.Although most of Montelius's print work was created in Northumberland County, PA, the broadsides from his years in Reamstown, PA, show the most variety and charm, according to the authors. They suggest he was printing for classroom instruction rather than commercially.Consequently, most editions of his broadsides are rare, as he printed small numbers of each. [from Lancasteronline.com]

Summary
A long time ago, a narrow gauge railroad was built through southern Lancaster and Chester Counties, in Pennsylvania, bringing an alternative to horses, buggies and ox carts, on muddy deeply rutted roads. "Ole Peachy," as many of the locals called it, served no major industries. Instead, it made do with poultry, eggs, butter, cattle, cream and passengers, becoming a vital link for the farmers of, and visitors to, the "Southern End ." This is the story of how , despite great odds against it, this short line managed to survive for 47 years. [from the book cover]
