Since its founding in 1751, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, has been at the
crossroads of history as the site of Washington's headquarters
during the Whiskey Rebellion, a city shelled and occupied by
Confederate forces and the home to Dickinson College and the
Carlisle Indian Industrial School. With lively vignettes and
firsthand accounts, Joseph David Cress recounts the remarkable
history of the borough. Tales of the McClintock Slave Riot of 1847
and the courthouse fire of 1845 stand alongside the legendary
figures of Molly Pitcher and all-American athlete Jim Thorpe. Cress
chronicles Carlisle's evolution from an outpost on Pennsylvania's
rough-and-tumble frontier to a vibrant and thriving hub of the
Cumberland Valley.
