Produktbeschreibung
The History Of Silver Lake is a captivating book that takes you on a journey through time. With over 135 photos and 20 eclectic chapters, this book will transport you to eras worth reliving. Whether you're reading for your own pleasure or sharing the book with loved ones, this is a treasure to be cherished for generations to come. Searching through old county archives, the authors found no formal account of Silver Lake's centuries-long history. Local lore was often strikingly different from historical facts. The advancing age of first hand witnesses created a sense of urgency to recover historical evidence for this tale of the lake's evolution. Through deeds dating back to Pennsylvania's founding, and interviews with long-time residents, they unveil both events of the day and the evolution of the lake from a wilderness wetland to a utilitarian mill pond, now a thriving community. From a 6th-grade class's unexpected role in historical preservation to a tragic twist in a clever business venture, each chapter offers stories of family, faith, war, and renewal. If you enjoy storytelling and seek a deeper understanding of the past, join the authors and meet the people who played key roles in Silver Lake's rich history. "This is a beautifully written, well researched and footnoted tome on the history of a 250 -year-old early lakeside settlement south of Harrisburg in York County, Pennsylvania. The multi-talented authors have included their own delightful drawings and maps along with historical pictures and post cards, newspaper clippings and legal documents. The stunning avian pictures by Ken Boyer, a neighboring photographer, add greatly to the book." Glenn N. Holliman, immediate past president, Pennsylvania Heritage Foundation
