Description
Perry County Pennsylvania CollectionThis is an extensive collection of historical and biographical books on Perry County, PA. These books were published between 1848 and 1976 and containing over 6,500 pages of information. This collection includes the major historical & biographical volumes published for Perry County, as well as a number of obscure historical publications.The larger biographical volumes are an excellent place to start genealogical research as these detail hundreds of family genealogies from the county. The smaller, more obscure publications are an excellent addition to the larger volumes, as they contain information of a more specific focus. Often these smaller publications contain historical and genealogical gems found nowhere else - such as portraits, biographies, and records. (Please see the descriptions below for specifics on individual books.)This is a wonderful opportunity to own your own library on Perry County. To find and purchase all of these publications would be a huge investment in time and money.

Hain, 1922, 1087 pagesFrom the Foreword: "This is more than a history of Perry County, as it records much of Indian habitation and devastation and pioneer life long before its lands became a county, which has come down to us through the mists of another day, being principally based on official records and historical accounts of the period, with here and there a tinge of tradition, when well founded, which has descended down the years through generations of responsible people. Among the first settlers were men and women of mental vigor and talent, and these characteristics became inherent in unborn generations, with the attendant result that Perry County has not only been the birthplace of many men illustrious in the affairs of the state, but also of an array of men and women educated in the learned professions, who have held, or hold, responsible positions in their respective communities, all over Pennsylvania and in a large majority of the states of the Union. While the book is in no sense a biographical work, yet it is deemed fit and proper to record the more noted..."This is an extensive historical volume for Perry County.
