Clockmakers of the Cocalico Valley: e-Book

Description

This book examines the 20 clockmakers who worked in the Cocalico Valley of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  From 1750-1850 these craftsmen produced fine tall case clocks, creating a reputation that rivaled the clockmaking centers of Philadelphia and New England.  From the Gorgas family of the mid-18th century, to the Fraser family of the mid-19th century, this book is an easy read that includes about 30 images.  Many of these clocks are still in good running condition and have become coveted collector items.
