Pennsylvania Yesterday & Today (Yesterday and Today)

The state of Pennsylvania has endured many changes since William Penn established a colony in the New World nearly four centuries ago-but much of the life and spirit of yesterday is alive and well in Pennsylvania today. Fertile farmland still fills the state's rolling hills and valleys; cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh remain at the forefront of industry and politics; and the lush forests of "Penn's Woods" are still havens for wildlife and nature-lovers alike. From early colonial settlements along the Delaware River to Pennsylvania's modern metropolises, scenes of American innovation and culture can be found in every corner of the Keystone State. Pennsylvania Yesterday & Todaytakes you on a visual tour of these sights and experiences, allowing you to explore the Pennsylvania that our ancestors knew centuries ago as well as the Pennsylvania of the twenty-first century. In Pennsylvania Yesterday & Today, author Blair Seitz presents the people, places, and activities that have defined the state through the ages. Modern color photographs are displayed side by side with historical illustrations to offer a nostalgic look at how far we have come over the last four hundred years-and how little some things have changed.Blair Seitz is the author of 'Pennsylvania Yesterday & Today (Yesterday and Today)', published 2007 under ISBN 9780760328309 and ISBN 0760328307.
