As a pioneer preservationist of cast iron signs, the author has covered over 550 towns in Pennsylvania and included over 50 years of research in this book. These cast iron signs were first erected circa 1929-1942 and gave the town name, when it was founded, and the explanation of the name. This book presents each Pa. county with an explanation of its name, when it was formed, area, and county seat. It then lists all the towns that still have the cast iron signs erected and their information. (112pp. color illus. Author, 2015.)
