Nowhere in Pennsylvania is there a sychronicity between geography and history as there is in Carbon County. Intersected by the majestic Lehigh River in the picturesque Pocono Mountains; this is a county built on the discovery of anthracite coal; the fortitude of early settlers; and the boundless imaginations of men like Josiah White; Erskine Hazard; and Asa Packer. For over a century; Carbon Countys breathtaking scenery; stunning Victorian architecture; and natural landmarks; such as Hitcheltooth Cliffs and Glen Onoko Falls; have attracted travelers. Whether riding on the hair-raising Switchback Railroad or staying at the American Hotel (now the Inn at Jim Thorpe); travelers loved postcards; many of which are featured in this book. Compiled from some of the finest collections of vintage postcards in the state; Carbon County is a visual treasure documenting the haunting beauty and idiosyncrasies of the area.
