Wilkes-Barre

$20.68

Author: Elena Castrignano Description: Part of the Images of America Series by Arcadia. Wilkes-Barre, founded in 1769, is a city of changes: environmental changes brought on by the Susquehanna River and industrial changes that transformed a quiet farming community into a busy breaker town. When anthracite coal was discovered in the 1800s and massive coal breakers were built, immigrants for eastern, western, and southern Europe began to arrive. As these immigrants arrived, they changed the face of the city, creating their own communities and hamlets. Size: 6-1/2 x 9 Paperback – 127 Pages Published: 2012
