This is the Black and White Paperback version. Please note that some of the text and tables are not differentiated as well in black and white as they are in the color versions. Winburne-Lanse-Forest are three small towns off the beaten path in Central Pennsylvania. First settled by farmers in the 1840s, the towns became flash-in-the-pan coal towns between 1885, when the Beech Creek Railroad came up the Moshannon Creek on its way to the county seat of Clearfield, until the mines went bust after the miners’ strikes in the 1920s followed by the Great Depression of the 1930s. The authors’ endeavor to pull together existing, available data detailing these years, focusing on the early pioneers of the area, the entrepreneurs who brought about the short-lived economic thrust and the ruination of the ecology of the small valley turning the once beautiful stream originally called Wells Run into the stream of today apply named Sulphur Run, and a number of individuals who participated in the growth of the towns. Details are given on the ten mines that once operated in the valley, the sawmills that supported the growth of the mines and the towns and the subsequent brick plant that tried to stem the decline of the towns’ economy. Analysis of census and insurance information in the 1910-1911 timeframe paints a picture of what the area was like in its heyday. And a collection of historical photographs makes up for what a thousand words and statistics cannot adequately convey. Yet, the search continues to find what is still hidden in dozens of dusty attics.
