| One of the most important books ever produced for this county. Many researchers refer to this as the "Bible to Westmoreland County Research." A wealth of genealogical information! Extensive historical and county information. Though more than a century has passed since its original publication, this book still remains the foundation of Westmoreland County historical studies. Two subsequent Westmoreland County histories, a three volume set from 1906 and four volumes published a dozen years later, follow Alberts outline closely. John N. Boucher barely reworked his predecessors material. Genealogists and local historians alike can enjoy the quaint writing style, the unique nineteenth century flavor, the evident painstaking research, the information packed pages edited by Westmoreland Countys premier historian, George Dallas Albert. - United States - Pennsylvania - Westmoreland |
