PREFACEOne definition of history is "that branch of knowledge that

records and explains past events as steps in human progress."This is a history. Hence it is more largely devoted to thetreatment of the past than of the present.

But the present has not been neglected and an effort hasbeen made to give full consideration to things that are aswell as to things that were.

To write a history of Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, isno easy task. So many things enter into a discussion of thesubject, many of them of minor importance except as theyare related to others of greater moment, that to fully coverthe entire ground is somewhat difficult.

In the present history that of the late John M. Meginnesshas been freely drawn upon and no attempt has been madeto supersede his great work. That veritable mine of informa-tion will remain for all time the source of original researchfor everything relating to the early history of LycomingCounty. It has only been the aim of the writer to supplementthe labors of Meginness and bring them down to date as wellas to amplify some of the subjects which he treated onlybriefly. One of the most important of these is the giant lumberindustry which made the city of Williamsport famous and itspresent prosperity a possibility. Others chapters have beenadded covering subjects of special historical interest whichseemed to warrant more extended treatment.

There has been no attempt at fine writing, but only anearnest effort to tell in plain, simple language the story of thewonderful progress and development of Lycoming county andthe city of Williamsport.

A few chapters of the book are taken from the expansionedition of the Williamsport Sun, published in 1926 and the

Mii~35 ~1

HISTORY OF LYCOMING COUNTY

anniversary edition of the Williamsport Gazette and Bulletinof the same year. Other chapters relating to industries andinstitutions are given just as they were furnished by the headsof these activities. The chapter on the Geological Formationis taken from a report on the subject by the late AbrahamMeyer, the well known geologist of the county.

The writer wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness forvaluable assistance to 0. R. Howard Thomson and Miss Kath-erine W. Bennett, librarian and assistant librarian, respec-tively, of the J. V. Brown library, to Major William P. Clarke,Ferd W. Coleman, C. Clyde Mussina and to all those whosecordial co-operation has made the preparation of the worka pleasure rather than a task.
