Quaint And Interesting Cartoons About Pennsylvania

The History of Pennsylvania in the building of America, from the year of its founding by William Penn to the present day, for the most part has been recorded on the written page for future generations.

But there also are many quaint facts, little known truths, a number of the provincial stories, some unpublicized yet interesting inventions wrought from the dreams of Pennsylvanians, which are just as truly a part of the history of Pennsylvania.

We think these facts are worth telling. So that you may know of these curious sidelights of a great State, we have compiled them and illustrated them in cartoon style.

All of the cartoons reprinted on the following pages have been prepared by this Department and have been published from time to time in Pennsylvania newspapers. We sincerely hope that your reading or rereading of them will lead to a better appreciation of Pennsylvania ... a many-sided State.
