Wyoming County features postcards highlighting the history of communities nestled in the Endless Mountains. These unique images explore important industries such as the Noxen Tannery and the Lehigh Valley and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroads. Numerous photographs depict the county seat, Tunkhannock, as well as the surrounding towns, such as the former resort areas of Lake Carey and Lake Winola; Vernon and Vose, which have almost completely disappeared; and Laceyville, which appears almost untouched by time. From an early hospital in Meshoppen to scenes near Falls, Mill City, and Mehoopany, Wyoming County is sure to delight both residents and visitors.
Exploring Wyoming County pre-formation, the book also delves into the history of sixteen towns and their prominent residents and records residents' Civil War service.
This book departs slightly from the usual format in which the history of Wyoming County has been presented. Rather than focusing on the history of each township, Herman has knitted together sixteen separate histories into one.
