Summary
"A look at some of the historic taverns and inns of central Pennsylvania, giving a view into the world of early American hospitality. Inns have served Americans for centuries, through its War of Independence, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. They also played an important role in politics, commerce, and business. Many settlers passed through them on their journey westward and relied on them to escape the discomfort and sheer tedium of travel by foot, coach, wagon, or horseback. They also served as the local post office, court house, commissioners' meeting rooms, auction site, polling place, news centers, and even as the site for draft lotteries during the Revolution and later.Beautifully illustrated with many photographs- both modern and historical, advertisements of the times, and descriptions. -- Accomac Inn, Altland House, The Cat's Meow, the Franklin House, General Sutter Inn, The Olde Lincoln House, Revere Tavern, Shank's Tavern, Stouch Tavern, Wahtney's Inn and the White Horse Inn."

"Because of the size of the ledger, I only copied the early part pertaining to their life in Lancaster and in Ohio in the very early years. Actually the original ledger was kept up by Josiah all the while he lived in Fairfield Co. and then on to Putnam Co., Ohio in 1833, until his death in 1844. It was then kept by his son Benjamin Franklin Irwin until 1864." Letter of Marjorie Featheringill Waterfield attached to the ledger.
