O knihe
Located in Northampton County, Bangor and the surrounding Slate Belt towns lie just a few miles from the Pocono Mountains and the Delaware River. The area's slate formations transformed the towns from sleepy farming communities to major producers and suppliers of slate to the world. Enterprising immigrants, including the Welsh, Italians, Cornish, and Pennsylvania Germans, opened a number of industries and businesses in the area, including slate quarries, garment factories, opera houses, hospitals, and retail stores. Trolley cars, major railroads, and a colorful Dentzel carousel became part of the area, as did some famous residents, such as actress Jayne Mansfield and award-winning pharmacist Ivor Griffith. Around Bangor is a testiment to the drive, hardiness, and community spirit of its residents.
