Pennsylvania Dutch Guide-Book

This Official Guide-Book of the Pennsylvania Dutch Tourist Bureau has been prepared solely for the purpose of making the tourist’s visit to Lancaster County the interesting and enjoyable experience it should be.

Lancaster furnished a signer of the Declaration of Independence in the person of George Ross. Another son of Lancaster, who brought distinction to his native soil, was David Ramsay, the historian of the Revolution. William Henry conducted a gun factory to manufacture and repair arms for the Continental army. His son, John Joseph Henry, took part in the expedition against Quebec and immortalized the campaign by his accurate and interesting account of the hardships and sufferings of that band of heroes who traversed the wilderness in an attempt to take Canada for the Colonial cause.
