Shippensburg


Book Description

Founded in the 1730s, Shippensburg became a jumping-off point for waves of pioneer settlers heading west in the 19th century. This rush to the West created an atmosphere of entrepreneurialism for wagon makers, carpenters, furniture craftsman, and merchants to supply travelers as well as provide for the needs of the town's residents. It also attracted the Cumberland Valley Railroad and other railroads to extend their lines through the town. Shippensburg contains vintage photographs taken by both amateur and professional photographers, including the "Postcard King" Clyde Laughlin, from the 1880s and later. Included are photographs of soldiers, sailors, and Marines from the Civil War through Operation Desert Storm. Business and commercial activities are also represented, as are the town's historic buildings, such as schools and churches.

The College Buzz Book


Book Description

Many guides claim to offer an insider view of top undergraduate programs, but no publisher understands insider information like Vault, and none of these guides provides the rich detail that Vault's new guide does. Vault publishes the entire surveys of current students and alumni at more than 300 top undergraduate institutions. Each 2- to 3-page entry is composed almost entirely of insider comments from students and alumni. Through these narratives Vault provides applicants with detailed, balanced perspectives.
