Backcountry Crucibles: The Lehigh Valley from Settlement to Steel

by Catherine S. Parzynski and Jean R. Soderlund

This volume explores the vitality of cultural, economic, and political life of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, whose unique location (close enough to New York and Philadelphia to market grain, iron, coal, and steel but distant enough to develop its own cultural live) offers a regional model persisting for more than two centuries.
