Clinton County was originally inhabited by the Shawnee; Lenape; and Iroquois tribes. Lumber was abundant; and it drew in settlers searching for a home and work. A diversity of industry developed as people settled in the area; from brickwork in Farrandsville and Mill Hall to the heyday of the Piper Cub and Piper Aviation. During 1889; 1918; 1936; and 1972; floods tore through the county beforea levee system was finally constructed in Lock Haven in the 1990s. Education has been an important mainstay in the area; and one-room schoolhouses once dotted the landscape. The Central State Normal School; now Lock Haven University; was a regional draw for those seeking a career in teaching. Through historic photographs; Clinton County illustrates the changes that have occurred in this area over the years and traces the history of the people who created this heartland Pennsylvania community.

Meticulously researched. beautifully written. wonderful illustrations. this book sets the standard for anything to come. And its small and paperback so you can take it with you on a "church crawl" through a given neighborhood.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Explorers ManualBy CustomerExcellent guide to Manhattan houses of worship from all eras. Wish all other big cities had such encyclopedic works.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. The book I wish Id writtenBy E. K. ByhamThis book is amazingly well done. It is remarkably error-free. especially given the breadth of religious positions represented by the various faith groups in Manhattan. Dunlap understands religion and religious beliefs. and he understands architecture as well. I have been hoping (perhaps praying?) for such a book for years and to have my wish fulfilled -- and not have to do it myself -- has been joyous. Ive only had it two weeks but Ive already passed it around to others who are equally impressed. If the subject interests you at all. buy this book!
