This updated and revised book covers the gamut of Union County's
history. It begins with the region's earliest days when the Delaware
Indians were in residence, and the arrival of settlers who ventured
into this frontier area from Berks and Lancaster counties marked
the beginning of major changes. Synder's text, first published in
1976, has been expanded and updated to reflect newly discovered
material on such groups as the Amish and the developments in Union
County up to 2000.
