About the Book

A readable history of Easton, PA, drawing together material from many piecemeal sources, with pictures of historic sites as they exist today. Easton was extremely important to the fate of the American colonies during the French and Indian War, and also played an important role during the American Revolution. It then served as a hub for the growing commercial development of the new nation. Includes an Appendix of historical sites, to assist walking or driving tours, with many references to an available free map.
