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]

Summary
"As the 300th anniversary year of the arrival of Jacob Boehm to the Pequea Settlement and the 225th anniversary of Boehm's Chapel approached, I felt a need to mark the occasion by collecting and preserving tidbits about the Boehm family, the chapel, and the present Boehm's UMC congregation. The Reverend Abram Sangrey, a WWII era pastor of Boehms's Episcopal Church, had written two histories, 'Martin Boehm' and 'The Temple of Limestone', before the 1991 Bicentennial Celebration, which offered insight into the formative years at Boehm's."

Summary
Abstract: This essay surveys the work of black public waiters in nineteenth-century Philadelphia and considers how they transformed menial domestic jobs into lucrative businesses. The work of public waiters in this era helped develop a catering trade for which the city became wellknown. Sources such as print culture, financial records, censuses, and directories reveal a transitional period in which public waiters negotiated a new role. From the 1820s through the antebellum era, as public waiters developed entrepreneurial catering businesses, they also helped build the black community, effect social mobility, and change eating culture.
