Description
Third in a series written by SFAHS President Emeritus William Brunner, this book explores the changes that have taken place in the "twin boroughs" of Spring City and Royersford. Beginning with the Leni Lenape Native Americans, and French-Canadian fur trapper Pierre Bazillion, and continuing with the advent of the Schuylkill Navigation System of canals and locks, the book chronicles the start of the Pennsylvania and Reading Railroads, and the resulting industires and businesses that served the two communities. Multiple color photos are included, and many historical images are included with current-day views. The accompanying narrative gives an abundance of information about the Spring-Ford Area's history.
