In 1886, at the first session of Rawlinsville Camp Meeting, the founders could not have imagined that they were initiating what has become a one hundred year old institution in Southern Lancaster County. Rawlinsville Camp Meeting is a cohesive force among the Methodist churches of the area, and has influenced the lives of literally thousands of persons across five generations...Rawlinsville Camp Meeteing is owned by the fourteen United Methodist Churches in Southern Lancaster County, and all income is used in support of the program and physical facilities...In recognition of the centennial anniversary, the Rawlinsville Camp Meeting Association commissioned a commemorative booklet and appointed a committee to produce it. The history of the 'camp' in the 50th anniversary song book was so well done and so complete that it has been reproduced here. It is followed by an expanded view of the camp background plus, of course, history and information pertaining to the second fifty years." [forward]

"Harry Bradshaw Matthews' history discusses antislavery movements in African American communities in New York State, as well as Pennsylvania and South Carolina, and their role in national movements during the 19th century. His identification and discussion of black leaders, historic sites, and instruction on conducting genealogical research is an outstanding addition that enhances the work. By compiling hundreds of illustrations consisting of newspaper articles, editorials, notices, and the name indexes of the 20th and 26th Regiments of the United Sates Colored Troops, Matthews gives a unique wealth of genealogical information that is a treasure-trove sure to aid scholars and family historians for years to come."
