Pennsylvania Archives (Third Series) (Volume Xxv) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354211157)

Pennsylvania's past, uncovered in original documents. Documents that shape a nation. Pennsylvania Archives (Third Series, Volume XXV) gathers a substantive archival document collection central to early American history, bringing together colonial era documents that lie at the heart of Pennsylvania historical records. As part of William Henry Egle's works, this volume functions as both a colonial genealogy resource and a practical genealogists reference guide, guiding family lineage research while offering historians access to revolutionary war archives and the civic record of nineteenth century Pennsylvania. The presentation balances accessibility with documentary rigour, making it a useful resource for casual readers and a dependable academic history resource for specialist enquiry. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. By restoring access to material long held in historical society collection vaults, this edition reintroduces primary sources that underpin county histories, legal studies and private genealogies: muster lists and petitions, correspondence and administrative papers whose testimony shapes our understanding of settlement, governance and conflict. Casual readers tracing family stories and classic-literature collectors alike find reward on every page; professional genealogists and scholars recognise it as an indispensable colonial genealogy resource and academic history resource that supports meticulous family lineage research and fresh inquiry into early American history and revolutionary war archives. Long relied upon by state and local historians, the Archives series has shaped understanding of colonial governance, frontier settlement and militia organisation; Volume XXV both repays close scholarly attention and rewards casual browsing. Its documentary clarity helps non-specialists track leads in family lineage research without relying solely on secondary interpretation. For libraries, societies and private collectors, the restored volume is at once a working reference and a display-worthy object that joins other treasures of a historical society collection.
