In the streets of Germantown, every doorway hides a story of revolution, faith and work. The past still walks here. First issued for the Site and Relic Society, The Guide Book to Historic Germantown by Charles Francis Jenkins is a classic historic Germantown guidebook, leading readers through the streets, homes and meeting-houses of Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Blending description with concise narrative, it traces Germantown Philadelphia history from its colonial beginnings through the turmoil of 18th century Philadelphia and the American Revolutionary War. Written by one of the area's most meticulous local historians, this Pennsylvania local history book doubles as an American historical travel guide, pointing out American Revolutionary War sites, colonial era architecture and lesser-known historic Philadelphia landmarks. Jenkins's eye for detail and memory for names and dates make the volume a valued local historians reference, especially for anyone exploring the Battle of Germantown history, early Quaker settlement, or the growth of Germantown into a distinctive Philadelphia neighbourhood. Ideal for Philadelphia history enthusiasts, armchair travellers and visitors alike, it opens windows onto everyday lives lived along these now-quiet streets. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, The Guide Book to Historic Germantown is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it speaks to readers drawn to Germantown Philadelphia Pennsylvania and to those who cherish carefully produced heritage titles. A rewarding companion for walkers on the ground and for collectors of regional Americana on the shelf.
