Interesting compilation

For anyone interested in Pennsylvania history, this book is a wonderful acquisition. It chronicles disasters, both man-made and natural, over a two century period in a concise, informative manner. If anything, I could have used even more information on the aftermath of each disaster but the stories that were provided made for a very good read!
Fascinating read!

As a family historian, I am always looking for stories about events that influenced both our ancestors and current families. This book is excellent for this! Well written and enjoyable to read, this book discusses events ranging from 1793-2002. I lived in Pennsylvania during five of them and was intrigued to read events I remembered as history. I recommend the book highly.
