Book Description

Excerpt from Lewistown, Penna;, As It Is Instead of dealing with past history, the purpose of this book is to point with pride to the present and speak with hope and confidence of the future. Lewistown has a history both extensive and important: it is not a mush room town. A trading post was established here one hundred and forty years ago, from which the town grew, and it lacks but a few months of one hundred years since Lewistown first attained to the dignity of a borough. I cannot claim that the town has been remarkably progressive, or that it has at all approached its possibilities or profited by its many advantages. If it had, I would have a large and bustling city to describe instead of a pretty and comfortable county town.
