Heritage of the Endless Mountains

Heritage of the Endless Mountains Pennsylvania by Bonnie Stacy and Arcadia Publishing is part of their Postcard History Series and documents the history of our region through hundreds of vintage postcards of our region providing a fascinating trip down memory lane, and bringing history to life for visitors and members of the younger generation.

From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of friends and families only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's history. This fascinating new history of Pennsylvania's Endless Mountains showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available.
