Fryer, Benjamin Alderfer.
CONGRESSIONAL HISTORY OF BERKS (PA.) DISTRICT 1789-1939.
Reading, PA: Author, 1939. Red Cloth. Presumed First. By Author. 358 pp. B/w ills. Red cover with gilt lettering on front is water-marked - actually seems to have rested in water at some point, since back cover is torn and faded and cloth is detached from boards. Back hinge gone. Last three leaves in the book are stained and a little mildewed. Index, however, is unmarked, and contents are very good plus. A comprehensive history of a Pennsylvania county which predates the founding of our nation by 37 years. Condition of the back cover makes this a reading copy, but in no way affects the contents. Good.
