Philadelphia Stories: People and Their Places in Early America Online
The new book, Philadelphia Stories by the late Dr. C. Dallett Hemphill, examines the rich lives of those who shaped Philadelphia’s and America’s past.
Beyond the well-known Founding Fathers, other Americans walked the streets of Philadelphia whose lives were, in their own ways, just as emblematic of the promises and perils of the new nation. The book explores the city's people and places from the colonial era to the years before the Civil War through the lives of some of its less famous residents including men and women, Black and white Americans, immigrants and native born.
Presented by Dr. Rodney Hessinger, Professor of History at John Carroll University
