"Written accounts and records provide conflicting information about the beginnings of Mt. Holly Springs. Some suggest it dates back as far as the mid-18th century, when permanent structures were reputed to have been built in the Holly Gap and Upper Holly. Some cite the birth as 1812, when the community's first paper mill was said to have been established, prompting people to refer to this corner of Cumberland County as "Papertown." Some say the community was launched in either 1815 or 1816, when building lots were laid out and offered for sale to the general public. However, this book was prompted by another date: April 10, 1873, where the state Legislature chartered the community as the Borough of Mt. Holly Springs, separate and distinct from South Middleton Township. That makes 2023 the sesquicentennial - the 150th anniversary -- of the founding of the borough. To mark the occasion, this book consists of "then-and-now" photos from the 19th and 20th centuries." -- page [3].

The rolling fields and quiet towns of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, belie its dynamic history. From slaves who escaped to freedom through Underground Railroad stations in Shippensburg and Boiling Springs to a telephone-like invention created by Lower Allen's Daniel Drawbaugh a full decade before the patent of Alexander Graham Bell, the pages of Cumberland County's history conceal long-forgotten but true tales. There are numerous but often-overlooked contributions from county residents--from 1920 to 1923, Newville hosted the first state police academy in the nation, and during World War II, a humble bandage invented in Carlisle saved countless lives. With an engaging collection of vignettes, author Joseph David Cress explores these and other hidden tales from the history of Cumberland County.
