As introductory to this volume, a resume of the history of the lykens-williams Valley is given, with other data nowhere else to be found. This feature being peculiar to this work.

To procure the material for its compilation, official records were carefully examined, newspaper files searched, manuscripts, letters and memoranda were sought, History volumes were con sulted and throughout the resume, excerpts were taken from Gordon's History of Pennsylvania, W. H. Egle's History of Pennsylvania, Egle's History of Dauphin and Lebanon Counties.
