This big book about a little place looks at how events of American history appear in the lives of the people who settled and grew the tiny Pennsylvania Dutch village of St. Lawrence from prehistory to the late 20^th century. Combining family and community historical records, personal memoir, and over 500 maps and photographs with the writings of professional historians, the book leads a reader from the first early 18th-century arrivals onto the indigenous landscape through ten generations of largely German-American families, illuminating the lives and stories of some memorable people. Chapters include: Creating the Village and Community; Education; Faith and Family; Facilities; Transportation; the Dairy; People; Family Lines and so much more! (530pp. color illus. index. hardcover.
