This article states that there are errors in two books about the Civil War regarding the 3rd United States Colored Troops. The author says that the book "Lancaster County Pennsylvania In The Civil War" confuses the Corps de Afrique's with the 3rd United States Colored Troops. And the author finds that the "History of Lancaster County Pennsylvania" by Ellis and Evans also has errors regarding the 3rd United States Colored Troops. The author provides corrections to both books.

Summary
"In 2010-11, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) undertook a project to upgrade electrical transmission along the right-of-way of the former Atglen & Susquehanna (A&S) Branch of the former Pennsylvania Raioroad (PRR) between the Safe Harbor Dam on the Susquehanna River in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and its Keystone Corridor near Parkesburg, Chester County, Pennsylvania. This upgrade was necessary to provide safe, reliable electrical service for its passenger trains both on the Keystone Corridor...and on the Northeast Corridor. The original electrical transmission infrastructure...was more than 20 years beyond its serviceable life, was subject to frequent outages caused by storms, ice, wind and fallen trees, and had become increasingly less reliable."

A good, honest, hard working man : William Christian Paulsen and his family - German immigrants who settled in Lancaster in the mid- to late-nineteenth century
"William Paulsen's story, although unique in its details, is generally typical of the stories of many other middle-class German immigrants in Lancaster. Together, these stories comprise an important part of Lancaster's history that may not be very well known because immigrants in the middle class, although in the great majority, did not leave as many traces in the historical records as did more affluent, well-known immigrants. As a result, the stories of middle-class immigrants are more difficult to piece together. However, in the case of William Paulsen and his family, we are fortunate to have extensive family sources of information to draw on, as well as a substantial number of historical records."
