Reading Glimpses of the Past is reminiscent of a visit to the writer's home. The reader, like the house guest, is ushered into the spare room to leaf through the pages of her treasured scrapbooks. These scrapbooks, like a patchwork quilt, are made of news clips, photographs, and memories, and tell the story of the 20th-century Morgantown, Pa. What a delight it is to experience that part of the history of Caernarvon Township through the eyes of a lifelong resident. (212pp. illus. index. Author, 1999.)
