Encyclopedia Of Pennsylvania Biography (Volume V)

By John W Jordan and John W. Jordan

Behind every town, courthouse and river valley in Pennsylvania stand lives of enterprise, public spirit and quiet perseverance. Every name tells a story. Encyclopedia Of Pennsylvania Biography (Volume V) gathers carefully crafted sketches of individuals who helped shape the Commonwealth across the 19th century and early 20th century Pennsylvania, from industry and law to education, religion and civic reform. Compiled by historian John W. Jordan, it offers a classic Pennsylvania biography reference for anyone drawn to the human side of state history. Arranged in the tradition of a state biographical dictionary, this volume forms a key strand of the Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania Biography set and of early American local history series. Each entry records family origins, education, vocation, public service and associations, making it invaluable for genealogy research in Pennsylvania and for readers and collectors tracing Pennsylvania family histories. It serves as both a practical Pennsylvania genealogy collection and a dependable resource for local historians, highlighting networks of prominent Pennsylvania citizens and preserving detailed biographies of Pennsylvania leaders, including 19th century Pennsylvania leaders. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, Encyclopedia Of Pennsylvania Biography (Volume V) stands as a bridge between archival record and living memory for students of early 20th century Pennsylvania. Restored for today's and future generations, it retains the dignity of the original while welcoming new audiences. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure - it completes the shelf of anyone serious about Pennsylvania history, genealogy and reference.
