4.0 out of 5 stars Were You Born in Lackawanna County? Read this book!, February 3, 2000

Bill Nalevanko (Olyphant, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A. H. Winton: The Story of Lackawanna County (Paperback)

This book gives an amazing insight into the beginnings of the Lackawanna Valley, and into the reasons why Scranton & Wilkes-Barre continue a "Mason-Dixon" line of thinking! I took the book with me while on-call for Jury Duty on a Tuesday morning and couldn't put it down until I finished it (and we were excused from duty!) on Wednesday afternoon. Granted, it is not a "history book" in the purest sense of the term, but it IS a good history of the reasons why a new county was necessary, and a glimpse into the lives of the people who struggled and literally fought to accomplish their goal. This book should be "Required Reading" for every high school student, and every borough, city and county office-holder, in Lackawanna County!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected, October 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A. H. Winton: The Story of Lackawanna County (Paperback)

I've become interested in local history of N.E. Pennsylvania. This does cover some of what I'm looking for, but the made-up dialogues and fictionalization were unexpected. They are mostly too cute by half. All in all, a few interesting tidbits here and there, but a lot of chaff.
