Download or read book SOUTHERN SCHUYLKHILL COUNTY written by Jennifer L. Bowen-Frantz and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 1998-02-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Schuylkill County is one of rich culture, strong heritage, and the triumph of human spirit. The boroughs and towns of Southern Schuylkill County contributed formidably to the development and progress of the entire county, from its first tiny settlements to the explosion of the Industrial Revolution. This unique collection of photographs reveals a portion of Schuylkill County that is often overlooked, but definitely not forgotten. The story of Southern Schuylkill County is also the story of small-town America: the development of culture, transportation, education, agriculture, and industrial progress detailed on these pages symbolizes the determination and spirit upon which this country was built. Those who dared to dream forged ahead and built the railroads, canals, schools, and churches that transformed settlements into "communities." From Orwigsburg, the county's first seat of government, to Port Clinton, with its history deeply rooted in transportation, this collection provides an opportunity for people of all ages to relive an incredible era of historical accomplishments and personal achievements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Schuylkill River got its name, meaning "hidden river," from Dutch settlers who discovered its mouth sequestered behind the Delaware River's League Island. It later became a river of revolutions. Along its banks Revolutionary War battles were fought, and George Washington's army famously camped at Valley Forge. Later the river helped fuel the Industrial Revolution with coal from Schuylkill County shipped to Philadelphia via the Schuylkill Canal. The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad began here and grew into the largest corporation in the world. The iron and steel industry flourished along its waters. The Schuylkill River Desilting Project of the 1950s was the first large-scale cleanup of its kind and helped usher in an environmental revolution. The nation's first public water supply was developed here, and its first zoo and university overlook the river.

The Story About One of the Pirst Chartered Railroads in America. Prepared by DR. J. J. JOHN, of Stiainokin, Pa., and read before the Society, September 26, 1906. ON THE OLD ROAD. "Once in an old forgotten day This by-track was a trodden way, But now, so few the steps that pass, The ruts are carpeted with erass. The careless brambles trail across, The gravel has its garb of moss, And oft the dawn and dusk go by Unnoted of a human eye." The chartering of the Danville and Pottsville Railroad, April 8, 1826, placed it in the honorable column of one of the few corporations that at this early period com menced the experiment of a new and comparatively untried method of transportation. It was a venture--a leap in the dark, --as only two railroads in England, had as yet, resorted to this plan of carriage, and with the short experience of a couple years, the results were unknown. Following in the wake of our mother country, the people of our Commonwealth at this time had become greatly interested in the question of internal improvements. With vigorous energy they entered upon the herculean task to develop the immense resources of our state by a system of inland navigation through the means of canals. With Philadelphia as a base, these arteries of commerce were to extend across the state to connect with Lake Erie and the Ohio River. This was a great undertaking for those times, as great mountain ranges preSented barriers that seemed impossible to pass by water communication. But the ingenuity of our engineers overcame these difficulties by portage railroads with their tunnels and inclined planes. The railroad of this period was an improvement on its ancestors, the tram road, which for several hundred years had been in use in some of its primitive...
