Produktbeschreibung
Strolling along the streets and avenues of Morrisville, Pennsylvania, and around the countryside near the Delaware River's scenic falls, one wanders into a variety of places that have witnessed many extraordinary events in America's life, beginning with William Penn's first land purchase from the Indian warriors at "Graystones" in 1682 and on to the many successful manufacturing companies in the 1930s and 1940s. This collection of over 200 photographs spans more than three hundred years of Morrisville's diverse history. In particular, this volume recounts many stories involving Summerseat, a structure that served as headquarters to General Washington in the winter of 1776 and as a home to American foreign consul Thomas Barclay and to Robert Morris (1791-98) and George Clymer (1798-1805), signers of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Besides just political figures, Morrisville has also been home to many contemporary personalities who have risen to national prominence in the sports arena and in the fine arts community.
