Not of just horses, dogs and cats, but tales of such other creatures as squirrels, raccoons, bears, and even a camel are found within this book.Some accounts are humorous, but others are tragic.
The authors have interspersed historical facts with nearly 250 Civil War-time letters and 400 journal entries written by three Privates of Company F, Pennsylvania 78th Infantry.
This book, packed with fascinating facts and photos, commemorates 36 years of Butler, Pennsylvania's, automotive golden age. During this time, Butler entrepreneurs manufactured six unique vehicles.
