This is a historical sketch of Bradford, McKean County, PA, in part thorough photographs. From the Preface: "The work is in no sense a history except in so far as illustrations are history. An effort has been made to collect the essential facts regarding the founding or the place, its subsequent growth and development, and some of the interesting incidents that characterized life in the oil regions." Hundreds of photographs and portraits are included from the mid-19th century onward. Sketches of many prominent residents are also included with the historical information. Originally published by the Burk Brothers in 1901. 261 pages, illustrated.
