Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Old-Time Archbald; The Early Institutions and Industries of the Town: How the Place Looked to Pioneers, Important Happenings in Its History
The few dwellings comprising the settlement were clustered around the saw mills where life at its best must have been dull and monotonous. The forest abounding in game and the streams with fish we can imagine how the early settler spent much of his spare time. With the opening of the coal mines and the building of the Gravity railroad in 1846, the real history of Archbald begins.
