The quaint and quirky town of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania has a storied history. The story of that storied history is here, in this book.
Explore the town’s Indigenous roots, its controversial formative years, and its crucial role in the Industrial Revolution. This book clears up old misconceptions, airs some dirty 19th Century laundry, and answers many of the questions nagging at locals and visitors alike.
Informative and cheeky, erudite and trashy, A Chunk of History belongs to anyone who desperately wants to know, “What exactly is Mauch Chunk?”
