The Lincoln Trail in Pennsylvania by Bradley R Hoch

The Lincoln Trail in Pennsylvania by Bradley R Hoch

The Lincoln Trail in Pennsylvania tells the story of Abraham Lincoln in the Keystone State with Hoch recovering symbolic moments, none more moving than Lincoln's funeral train as it stopped in several Pennsylvania cities, including York, Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Erie.

“Bradley Hoch. . follows in Lincoln’s footsteps, travels to every nook and cranny of Pennsylvania, to places famous and places barely known, discovers much new interesting information, and takes the delighted reader along with him. What a ride for the Lincoln buff—and also for the serious student of history. Experts always have carried a sense of the significance of Pennsylvania’s Lincoln connections, but all will be surprised by the breadth of the terrain Hoch visits. We travel along, sometimes amused, sometimes bemused, happy, sad, questioning, enlightened, and at the end of the road we are better people.”

—Gabor S. Boritt, from the Foreword

“He added that he hoped that people viewed his book not as detailing Lincoln’s presence in Pennsylvania, ‘but as nine dynamite stories about Lincoln’s life.’”

—Dick Watson Gettysburg Times

“What a ride for the Lincoln buff. . . . Philadelphia, Harrisburg, York, Hanover, Gettysburg, Pittsburgh, and Erie also figure in the 210-page book, which will appeal to those with an interest in Pennsylvania and Civil War history.”

—Caroline Abels Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“Hoch’s book features some rare photographs, engravings, and maps of Lincoln’s visits to Pennsylvania.

The Lincoln Trail in Pennsylvania chronicles where Lincoln went, what he did, and what he said in the state.”

—Ann Diviney Sun Style

“There’s a lot of detail you won’t find in any other book. . . . The Lincoln Trail in Pennsylvania (Penn State Press), a chronicle of Lincoln’s steps throughout the Keystone State.”

—David J. Forster Northeast Breeze

“In considerable detail . . . Bradley Hoch tells the story of Lincoln’s several visits to Pennsylvania and his varied associations with Pennsylvanians.”

—Jack Brubaker Lancaster New Era
