A Keystone Book is so designated to
distinguish it from the typical scholarly mono-
graph that a university press publishes. It is a book
intended to serve the citizens of Pennsylvania by
educating them and others, in an entertaining way,
about aspects of the history, culture, society, and
environment of the state as part of the
Middle Atlantic region.
