Summary
Gustav Samuel Peters deserves recognation as the first successful color printer in America. As such, his importance can hardly be overstated, and yet he remains largly unknown. In addition, he can be honored as a pioneer in stereotype printing, a Bible publisher, an engraver and illustrator, a creater and publisher of juveniles and toy-books, as well as a popular broadside and print maker. The list could go on. The story of his life and work reveals a man of talent and innovative genius From immigrant origins he rose to singular importance as a printer and publisher in his adopted country. Throughout his 25-year career he exercised a significant influence on the intellectual and cultural life of America, especially within the Pennsylvania German community.

Summary
This book takes you to and beyond the battlefield at Gettysburg, to cities and towns throughout the state where Pennsylvanians fought over the meaning of the Union even as they fought for it. By the time the Civil War began in 1861, white and black Pennsylvanians along the state's southern border-in towns like Sadsbury, Coatesville, and Christiana-had been fighting with slave owners and catchers for a decade. And, more than a year after Lee's Army of Northern Virginia left southcentral Pennsylvania, the town of Chambersburg survived another, even more devastating Confederate invasion. For much longer than four years, Pennsylvanians waged war at home and abroad, to save the Union and to rethink its founding principles. Keystone State in Crisis tells that story. [from the publisher]

Description
Program for the dedication of the Henry Norwood "Barney" Ewell Blue & Gold State Historical Marker at John Piersol McCaskey High School. Contains a brief biography and a list of achievements. Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. (2 copies)
Admin/Biographical History
Henry Norwood "Barney" Ewell (1918-1996) was born in Harrisburg and lived in Lancaster for most of his life. He won the U.S. junior sprint title in high school and made a name for himself with many other athletic achievements. As a college athlete at Penn State University, Ewell won NCAA titles in 100-meter and 200-meter sprints in 1940 and 1941. He enlisted in the U.S. Army during World War II and returned home to win more national titles in the long jump and earned his B.S. at Penn State.
Ewell, at age 30, finally had his chance to compete with the best athletes in the world at the 1948 Olympic Games which were held in London. He earned a place on the U.S. track team and won a gold medal in the 400-meter relay. He also received silver medals in the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash.
After the Olympics, Ewell returned to Lancaster. He and his wife, Duella, raised their family on Rockland Street in Lancaster City and later moved to Green Street. The Lancaster City directories list him as an employee of several businesses throughout his lifetime, including Coatesville Steel.
