Book Description
A fascinating journey through the history of Cambridge Springs and Edinboro, Pennsylvania with postcard images and anecdotes from the locals who experienced it. The penny postcard became popular during the years that mineral water therapy changed the quiet, rural town of Cambridge Springs into a popular resort town. Hotels and spas filled the area, and several daily trains brought guests to this world-class resort town. Hotels such as the Riverside, Rider, and Bartlett brought wonder and hope to people seeking cures for illnesses. Edinboro, known for its university and lake, has been another popular vacation spot for more than 200 years. The town developed an academy that became a normal school, a college, and finally a university. Through historic postcards, Cambridge Springs and Edinboro invites readers to witness the past wonders of this beautiful area. A portion of the proceeds for this book are being donated to the Cambridge Springs Heritage Society.

Book Description
When the first electric trolley car entered service in Erie in 1889, it revolutionized public transportation in the region. Within a few years, Erie became a major trolley hub linking the eastern and central United States. With the exception of a 15-mile gap at Little Falls, one could travel from New York City to Chicago via Erie. Greater Erie Trolleys covers the network of trolley lines that operated between Erie, Conneaut, Buffalo, and Meadville. Greater Erie Trolleys illustrates the vital role trolley cars played in the expansion of the urban population. It documents the beginning of pleasure travel with photographs of the special trolley car excursions from Erie to Elk Park for picnics, dances, and sporting events. Ridership began to decline just as the automobile came on the scene and dirt roads became paved highways. Eventually the lines were abandoned, but the trolleys left an important mark in transportation history.

Book Description
In 1903, Cambridge Springs was described in Cutter's Guide as "the Great Health and Pleasure Resort of Pennsylvania." Located in northwestern Pennsylvania on the banks of French Creek, it fell halfway between Chicago and New York City on the Erie Railroad. From the promotion of the mineral springs in 1884, this town of some six hundred people grew into a luxurious vacation spot that included accommodations such as the Riverside Hotel, the Rider Hotel, the New Cambridge Hotel (now the Bartlett), and more than forty other hotels and cottages. Around Cambridge Springs not only celebrates this town's golden age of resorts and affluence but also remembers the people, such as W.A. Baird Jr.; the places, such as Alliance College; and the events, such as the devastating fires of 1897 and 1931, that have shaped this community over the last two hundred years.

Book Description
William and Martha McDonald, the aging patriarch and matriarch of Eagle's Nest, a thousand-acre farm in Northwestern Pennsylvania, finally have their dreams and prayers answered when their grandson, Billy, brings home his fiancee, a beautiful dark-haired, dark-eyed woman by the name of Jackie Marie Olson. Although extremely beautiful, loving, and kind, she is also cunning, ruthless, and crafty. Her steely dark eyes can pierce one's heart with the heat of love or the cold of disdain. Jackie Olson McDonald takes us on an incredible journey of love and compassion for her husband, his grandparents, parents, and Eagle's Nest. Under her guidance and leadership, she and Billy take the family business from a $35-million operation to a multifaceted billion-dollar empire. Each generation of Jackie and Billy's female lineage is more beautiful, more intelligent, more passionate, more loving, yet more tenacious than their predecessors. Jackie and her female lineage complete six generations of McDonald women, each new generation taking Eagle's Nest further into the future and close in on fulfilling William and Martha's dream and God's will for Eagle's Nest and its inhabitants.
