Wiley, 1891, 1996. Navy blue grained hardback with gilt printing, just out of the shrinkwrap, 9 x 11-1/4, 658 pages, surname index, portraits, the book gives a brief historical review for each county, and the bulk of the book is just filled with the wonderful biographies and family histories that we genealogists love to find. Per the publisher: "The history of any nation, state, or country is best and most forcibly written in the life records of its citizens. In view of this, in 1876 the U. S. Congress recommended to state and county authorities the importance and necessity of collecting and preserving the histories and biographies of their prominent men and useful citizens. The publisher of this work compiled and published the first cyclopedia of biographies that was ever issued in Pennsylvania. Covers two important western Pennsylvania counties...Over 2,000 surnames + vast amount of historical research ....Excellent resource."
