Summary
"Thomas R. Winpenny examines the formative years of the factory system in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and the impact of industrialization on the community.The study focuses on the establishment of the Conestoga Steam Mills in the late 1840's and the following three decades. Professor Winpenny maintains that this industrial revolution brought progress and economic benefits without social upheaval and labor strife...Lancaster was able to absorb the factory system without discord because of local circumstances such as the wealth of the countryside, the stability of the long-established town, and the ready supply of resident workers. In a narrower variation of Thomas C. Cochran's geo-cultural concept, Winpenny argues that the character of the industrialization experience is molded by local conditions and that problems often associated with industrial progress are rooted in the environment in which industrialization occurs." [from a review of the book by Robert M. Blackson, Kutztown State College]

Summary
"From 1893 until 1905 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania required local municipalities to record vital statistics such as births, deaths, and cases of infectious disease. The record for the community of Columbia, Lancaster County, Pa., survives in the county archives and is a valuable record of one community's struggle to contain diseases that are seldom encountered today: smallpox, scarlet fever, typhoid fever, diphtheria, and tuberculosis. Within these pages, one can learn about the diseases and the treatments available in that time period and meet the physicians and community leaders who were in the front lines of the sturggle."
