Every family story begins somewhere. In Nelson’s Biographical Dictionary and Historical Reference Book of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, Henry E. Shepherd gathers the people, places, and turning-points that shaped one remarkable corner of the Commonwealth. Blending a condensed overview of Pennsylvania and detailed Fayette County Pennsylvania history with sketches of its boroughs and townships, this classic biographical dictionary of Pennsylvania reveals how local lives intersected with wider state and national events. An illustrated local history book, it brings together portraits, historical biographies of Pennsylvania governors from 1790 onward, and richly drawn family histories and genealogies of the county’s representative figures.For anyone tracing lines of descent, mapping landholdings, or reconstructing communities, this is an indispensable reference book for genealogists and a cornerstone of Pennsylvania local history research. Long prized by historians for its insight into Fayette County genealogy records, community life, and the evolution of its towns, it also sits at the heart of many a Pennsylvania county histories collection and stands today as a definitive Fayette County historical reference. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure, and a vintage county history reprint that offers casual readers, local enthusiasts, and serious researchers alike a vivid portal into 19th century Pennsylvania history.
