Journal articles focus on many aspects of life in our community. In the Winter 2016-17 edition, Dr. Christopher Pearl and Maggie Slawson wrote of the efforts of our neighbors during the Revolutionary War - efforts that have been overlooked as they fought from home and joined the struggle to protect their neighbors, their friends, and their kin from the ever present reality of raids by Britain’s Native American allies.
Marc Pompeo wrote, in the 2015-16 edition that featured local sports history, of Sol W. Wolf, the legendary head coach of the Williamsport High School football team from 1926-1930. The Winter 2014-15 edition focused on Lycoming at War and featured articles about local participation in Revolutionary, Civil and World War efforts.
Many of past editions of The Journal are available for purchase in the online store.
