Subject(s): Pennsylvania History, Local. Huntingdon County (Pa.) History. Other contributors: Huntingdon County Historical Society, Huntingdon, Pa. Other title: Daily news (Huntingdon, Pa.). Chronicles of Pennsylvania history. I don't see this first volume listed on the Huntingdon County Historical Society publication list at http://www.huntingdonhistory.org/ so I suppose it's currently out of print. I do see volume 2 listed - Rung's Chronicles of Pennsylvania History, Vol. 2, 1984, by Albert M. Rung. Reprints of 200 columns for The Daily News, 1951-1957. Hardbound, dust jacket, indexed, 384 pages, 7 1/2 x 11 You can get volume 2 from the HCHS for $26.50 plus s/h. Rung's Chronicles is not an old book - that first volume was published in 1977. I don't see any copies of volume 1 on abebooks.com. http://www.abebooks.com/ or alibris http://aol.alibris.com/ Is anybody on the list with HCHS - do you know whether volume 1 will be reprinted by HCHS? It sounds like something I'd love to read, but the price is pretty steep. Technically, we're not supposed to talk about books and prices on the RW lists (whoops), but I think it's useful to know what's out there, where for-sale and library copies might be found, and what it might cost, and I can't see that a polite discussion could be offensive. If anybody has the volume 1, perhaps we could find out about that index - as in, "Is it a complete index of names?" Judy PAHUNTIN List Admin
