Book excerpt: Mifflin County was carved out of the wilderness along the Colonial Pennsylvania frontier among the valleys of the Juniata River. American Indians occupied the area for millennia prior to the Albany Treaty of 1754, which opened the area to European settlement. The French and Indian War raged here, but settlers returned to establish the county. Named for Thomas Mifflin, Pennsylvania's first governor, the county was established in 1789, developing as a transportation hub in turnpike and canal days, as well as during the founding of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Iron produced in the 19th century in Mifflin County was considered the best in America. Through vintage photographs and images, Mifflin County highlights the founding, development, and heritage of this area in central Pennsylvania.

Through the resources of the historical society archives, Fisher gained background for each story, and many were part of the history curriculum he taught locally for over 30 years. One particular story he knows first-hand, that of his late mother, Mifflin County artist Anne Kepler Fisher.This, his ninth book detailing local history from a central Pennsylvania county founded in 1789, the author visits seven Mifflin County cemeteries in the 62-page all color publication as he traces the impact of individuals buried there.
