It contains pictures pertaining to the German-speaking people in York, Lancaster, Lebanon, Berks, Lehigh and Northampton Counties. These counties were developed as a rural area with individually owned farms. The many pictures in the book together with absorbing text help us to understand the early settlers. As they prospered, towns and industries sprung up. And as succeeding generations moved west, they took with them what they 'earned here in Eastern Jonestown HEISEY FARM EQUIP , INC Klmeerstown STANLEY S FARM SERVICE Lancaster LANDIS BROS INC 717 291 1046 Lebanon (Fontana) UMBERGER S OF FONTANA MahaHev HUTTON FARM EQUIPMENT NG HERSHEY AND SON Maxatawnv N H FLICKER 4 SONS, INC Mill Hall OUNKLE ANDGRIEB 717 7263115 RD 1 717 865 4526 717 648 2088 RD 4 717 867 5161 814 277 5504 Manheim 717 665 2271 215 683 7252 Pennsylvania. One reason that I am interested in this book, beside the fact that I enjoy history, is the presence of several photos that I supplied to the authors, Gary and Elizabeth Hovinen. They were kind enough to give me credit in their acknowledgments. Several of the pictures were taken by my great uncle who had an intense interest in photography.

However, the one scene that pleases me the most is a two-page spread of my father’s 1923 Overland as it sits on the edge of a muddy road. My mother, sister and I are standing beside the car.
