Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The green hills and bustling boroughs of Lackawanna County have fostered a remarkable history of pioneering citizens and momentous events. Dr. Mary C. Nivison became the first female physician in the city when she opened her Scranton practice in 1871. Audiences were amazed in 1915, when Harry Houdini escaped from a large cask of beer at the Poli Theatre. The Pennsylvania county had its share of mayhem and tragedy as well. In 1923, the Laurel Line bandits held up the train between Moosic and Avoca, and nineteen years later, the flood of 1942 sent waters rushing down Carbondale's Main Street. From the stories of the Great Riot of 1877 to memories of the Club Burger at Carrol's Restaurant, local author Margo L. Azzarelli chronicles the history of Lackawanna County with this fascinating series of vignettes.

Download or read book A Brief History of Scranton, Pennsylvania written by Cheryl A. Kashuba and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11-13 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intense heat of the steel mills and the clatter of coal-filled locomotives once filled the streets of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Hardworking immigrants, iron rails, and anthracite coal from beneath the surface of the lush Lackawanna River Valley powered America's Industrial Revolution, and until World War II, the city reigned as a cutting-edge boomtown. Local journalist Cheryl A. Kashuba chronicles the history of Scranton from the glory days of the Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company and the Dickson Works through the post-Industrial decline and an eventual revitalization of the city. With a deft hand, Kashuba captures the spirit of a proud community and creates a fascinating portrait of the Electric City.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Lackawanna Valley In presenting to the public these "Contributions," it seems proper to state that the collection of the embodied facts was more the result of the love possessed by the writer for such incidents and history, than the hope of either a pecuniary reward, or a literary reputation. Becoming familiar with a few features in the history of the Lackawanna Valley, the writer was induced, by the solicitations of his friends, to put them into a shape whereby their publication might possibly awaken an interest, or perhaps elicit new and more connected material from a region where nothing yet had been done in the way of gathering its local history. From the absence of a proper and continued record - from indistinct and often conflicting memories - and from the death of all who were familiar with its earliest settlement, it is very probable that events narrated are sometimes given in an imperfect, and even in an inaccurate manner. It would not be surprising if such was the fact; but the reader must bear in mind that not only the personal, but the general history recorded here was written while the author was engaged in a large practice, and harassed by all the continual anxieties occurring in one of the most exhausting and thankless professions in the country.

Download or read book The Old School written by Joseph Klapatch and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969, in the Anthracite Coal Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the Dickson City, Olyphant, and Throop school districts merged to become the Mid-Valley School District. Soon afterward plans were made to build the new Mid-Valley Junior-Senior High School. The plans were put on hold indefinitely. The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry condemned the elementary schools in Olyphant and Dickson City and ordered them closed. Some residents wanted a new school built; others wanted the old schools renovated. Lively debate ensued. The reasonable people prevailed. The Mid-Valley Secondary Center was completed in 1981. This book has two parts, History and Memoir. The History part of the book consists of factual data about the schools of Olyphant from 1855 through 1969. The author intertwines some stories that his father, his grandfather, and his great-uncle had told him. These stories add a personal perspective to the history. He also includes some information about Dickson City and Throop schools. This is background information for the Memoir part of the book. This is a narrative about his public school education starting in 1969 with kindergarten, and concluding with graduation in 1982. He also includes an Epilogue with a snapshot of the current status of items discussed.
