Interesting. Some sections less so than others, but I enjoyed this well-rounded, basic survey of unique Pennsylvania characteristics. I've always liked reading about the daily lives of people in history.

Quite an interesting informative read. It's like reading pa folklore takes but mainly factual. A good conversation piece.

I found this book rather interesting. The author brought forth many unusual, yet interesting, customs and historical facts about life in early Pennsylvania. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in history.

I was a little disappointed some of the info was very interesting but after awhile it got a bit boring I was hoping for more human Pa customs . Like in Pa there is a non spoken rule that the oldest female must be on the outside of a sidewalk ( towards street ) and if with a male the man must be on the outside . But I didn't know that a lot of our towns - Blue Ball was named after a Traven . That Intercourse was originally named Cross Keys .
