Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Families of the Wyoming Valley, Vol. 3 of 3: Biographical, Genealogical and Historical; Sketches of the Bench and Bar of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania
The volumes of which this is the third and last, are records of the lives of the resident members of the Luzerne county bar, of its law judges and the associate or lay judges who have sat upon the Luzerne bench. In fact, they not only warrant, but in common justice demand, the title that has been given them Families of the Wyoming Valley. In collating faithfully the incidents of moment in the careers of those who have practiced the profession of the law in Luzerne county, and of the judges of its courts, and in giving such attention as was possible and proper to the gene alogies in each case, the author has, of necessity, had to deal with practically every family of note in the Wyoming valley, and has brought into review almost every prominent fact in their history and in the history of the valley itself. He has in this way been enabled to cover many matters not heretofore reduced to print, and to throw fresh light upon others many times and much dis cussed. He believes and contends, in brief, that no study of the history of the valley can be esteemed to even approach complete ness that does not include a careful reading of these books, an insistance that will be found to be fully justified by the merest reference to the exhaustive analytical index appended to this volume.
