Book Reviews of Scranton (PA) (Images of America)
Book Review: Excellent pictorial
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an excellent picture book of early Scranton. Each page had 2 large photos, with an excellent caption.
My only complaint, and it is a small one, is, some of the captions do not note the location of the building in the photo, or, whether or not it is still standing.
Summary of Scranton (PA) (Images of America)
In 1840, George and Selden Scranton, with William Henry, established their iron furnaces on the banks of Roaring Brook in the wilderness of northeastern Pennsylvania. In 1847, they successfully mass-produced iron T rails and later emerged as the nation?s third largest steel manufacturer. Anthracite, locomotives, silk, and lace soon followed. Scranton traces the growth of Slocum Hollow through its rising industrialization into its emergence as the bustling Electric City. In all its urban complexity, Scranton attracted European immigrants and cosmopolitan investors as well as labor leader John Mitchell and entertainer Buffalo Bill. Joseph Albright Jr., a Scranton-born philanthropist, endowed a public library, and Raymond Hood, the architect of Rockefeller Center, designed the Masonic Temple. The footprints of these achievements remain an enduring testament to this important industrial and cultural center.State & Local Books
