BG01 - Pennsylvania Biography Collection #1

Biographical Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania of the
Nineteenth Century (Galaxy Publishing Company, 1874, 885 pages)
This is an early and obscure biographical reference work on Pennsylvania. It represents the whole of the state, providing hundreds of biographical sketches on important and influential men from nearly every county. These men were ones who worked hard to excel in their various fields: leaders of industry, business, education, religion, men who received important appointments of public service, and others who held various political or military offices. Many of the individuals were native to Pennsylvania, while others who grew to importance came from other states in the Union or even other countries.

This is an important reference work of Pennsylvania biography. A few of the individuals herein were also covered in other historical or biographical volumes, but the vast majority were not. Therefore, this is the only source of information publicly published on the majority these citizens, making this a very valuable tool for genealogical or historical research. Additionally, nearly 300 of the sketches contain portraits of the sketch subject.
