Book excerpt: Mifflin County Historical Society author, Forest K. Fisher, presents the history and evolution of the picture postcard and its significance as a medium of communication in For Just a Penny, Historic Mifflin County Postcards. In Fisher's tenth book detailing local history from a central Pennsylvania county founded in 1789, the author uses local vintage postcards and historic images throughout the 130-page publication. Whether colorful, hand-tinted images or aged sepia-tone real photo postcards, both are prized by collectors. Many examples of these come from the archives of the county historical society, while other postcards were loaned from area collectors, as well as from the author's personal collection. Fisher also brings along his connection to the family photographic business, The Kepler Studio, Lewistown, PA, and its large collection of classic images from 60 years in the commercial photographic business, 1923-1983. Using this primary source, a brief pictorial lesson is presented on how to date a real photo postcard or RPPC, using examples from his family's photographic studio collection.One feature illustrates exaggeration or fantasy real photo postcards. Examples of this novelty postcard style might show a fisherman reeling in a canoe-sized trout or farmers harvesting corn the size of oak logs. Today we would say, "Oh, that's been Photoshopped." But a century ago postcards of this genre, often produced for tourist consumption, had to be accomplished in the photographer's darkroom. For Just a Penny shows exactly how this was accomplished. It's as much art as science, not to mention a slightly twisted sense of humor came in handy.A book like this cannot do justice to historic images when presented in grey scale or black and white. For Just a Penny is published in full color semi-gloss pages from cover to cover, giving the reader a glimpse of almost 120 years of postcard history, with a Mifflin County, Pennsylvania slant.Step back with the Mifflin County Historical Society and author Forest K. Fisher to glimpse the social media of a bygone age, when messages to friends and loved-ones could be sent for just a penny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All too often, a cemetery visit is prompted by the immediate passing of a friend or relative, which, let's face it, is the way of things. We don't readily connect these burial places as a space that can tell a tale. Mifflin County Historical Society author, Forest K. Fisher, asserts that cemeteries can do just that. Tombstone Tales from the Cemeteries of Mifflin County sheds some light on individuals who lived and died, yet above all, who left a story from which we can glean a bit of county history. Through the resources of the historical society archives, Fisher gained background for each story, and many were part of the history curriculum he taught locally for over 30 years. One particular story he knows first-hand, that of his late mother, Mifflin County artist Anne Kepler Fisher.This, his ninth book detailing local history from a central Pennsylvania county founded in 1789, the author visits seven Mifflin County cemeteries in the 62-page all color publication as he traces the impact of individuals buried there. Thirteen individuals are featured. Discover Mifflin County's first pioneer woman, the "Daniel Boone" of Mifflin County, a Civil War general buried in a cannon, the only man executed in Mifflin County, the doctor who died at the Alamo, the only county woman awarded the Bronze Star during WWII, the tragic short life of a ill-fated child, the minister and his exhumed remains returned during a perilous journey, the daughter and a grandson of signers of the Declaration of Independence, the county's first pediatrician, the artist who painted the Amish and the purported relative of Edgar Allan Poe.The story of Mifflin County can be told in many diverse ways. Tombstone Tales from the Cemeteries of Mifflin County represents local history through the lives of the departed. Visit a local cemetery, checkout the tombstones and take a walk through history.

Book excerpt: The archives at the Mifflin County Historical Society illuminate the life and times of our county at Christmastime through the pages of local newspapers, supplemented with vintage photos. Lewistown's daily Sentinel reveal happenings during the holiday season through articles, advertising and news reports. A brief but nostalgia-laced stroll along Memory Lane, this look at Mifflin County's Christmas Past will take the reader to Market Street in downtown Lewistown for some holiday window shopping. Carols echo as singers pause along thoroughfares in the 1920s. Later, holiday melodies were piped along the main streets through outdoor speakers in the 1940s and 1950s. The annual community Christmas Parade would eventually draw crowds to the county seat, with peak attendance in the 1950s and 1960s. Parade watchers applauded decorated floats from church and service groups, as "Jingle Bells" boomed from half a dozen local school bands. Seasonal good cheer, and cash, flowed from Christmas Clubs, all carefully nurtured by local banks. Santa Claus set up shop at McMeen's Department Store. Saint Nick could also hear children's requests in the "Santa House," a repurposed Second World War bond drive hut, a focal point established on Monument Square in the decade after the war. On the day of the Christmas parade, free goldfish for the kids could be had at G. C. Murphy'e Store, Salvation Army bell ringers attracted donors along a snowy downtown streets. The memory of holiday sights and sounds still linger and reflections of an earlier time. Enjoy this look at "A Mifflin County Christmas", five decades of Yuletide happenings in central Pennsylvania from the 1920s through the 1960s.

Book excerpt: Mifflin County was carved out of the wilderness along the Colonial Pennsylvania frontier among the valleys of the Juniata River. American Indians occupied the area for millennia prior to the Albany Treaty of 1754, which opened the area to European settlement. The French and Indian War raged here, but settlers returned to establish the county. Named for Thomas Mifflin, Pennsylvania's first governor, the county was established in 1789, developing as a transportation hub in turnpike and canal days, as well as during the founding of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Iron produced in the 19th century in Mifflin County was considered the best in America. Through vintage photographs and images, Mifflin County highlights the founding, development, and heritage of this area in central Pennsylvania.
