The Keystone State, so nicknamed because it was geographically situated in the middle of the thirteen original colonies and played a crucial role in the founding of the United States, has remained at the heart of American history. Created partly as a safe haven for people from all walks of life, Pennsylvania is today the home of diverse cultures, religions, ethnic groups, social classes, and occupations. Many ideas, institutions, and interests that were formed or tested in Pennsylvania spread across America and beyond, and continue to inform American culture, society, and politics. Pennsylvania: A History of the Commonwealth is the first comprehensive history of the Keystone State in almost three decades. In it distinguished scholars view Pennsylvania's history critically and honestly, setting the Commonwealth's story in the larger context of national social, cultural, economic, and political development. Part I offers a narrative history and Part II offers a series of "Ways to Pennsylvania's Past" -- nine concise guides designed to enable readers to discover Pennsylvania's heritage for themselves. Pennsylvania: A History of the Commonwealth is the result of a unique collaboration between The Pennsylvania State University Press and The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), the official history agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The result is a remarkable account of how Pennsylvanians have lived, worked, and played through the centuries.

Auszug: ...die Briefe, die ich Ihnen zu ubergeben bereits die Ehre hatte. Nun waren mir, alleMathsel gelost." Der vermeinte Mr. Hill war, Sn-Richard Brandon, Lord Iames Ihnen, dass ich Grauens nicht unterdruckcnckoiu.HMM diess Gewebe durchblickte;" doch bald.erauisteM, dass Schweigen in diesem Halle Sir Richard's HandlungHreise mochte, noch so unbru-derlich, noch so unmenschlich sein, so ware es doch unmoglich gewesen, ihn/ desswegen rechtlich zu be-langen, denn er hatte nur gegen die Stimme der Natur, aber gegen lein geschriebenes Gesetz gefre-velt. So hatte meine Enthullung dieses Geheim-nisses nur Unheil anrichten konnen, aus dem fur Niemand, nicht einmal fur Lord James, der ge-ringste Vortheil erwachsen ware. Ueberdiess war mir Dieser fast ganzlich fremd, wahrend ich Sir Richard manche Verbindlichkeiten schuldig war und auch fur die Zukunft manche Begunstigung von ihm hoffte. So entschloss ich mich zu schweigen; vorsichtshalber bemachtigte ich mich dieser Papiere und kehrte am nachsten Morgen nach Edinburgh zuruck. Kurz darauf erhielt ich ein Schreiben von Sir Richard, worin er mir anzeigte, dass seine angegriffene Gesundheit ihn nothige, England fur langere Zeit zu verlassen; er uberschickte mir zugleich ein werthvolles Andenken als Beweis seiner Dankbarkeit, wie er sich ausdruckte. Da ich jetzt mit dem Stand der Dinge vertraut war, so erkannte ich, dass er mir mittelst dieses Briefes und dieses Geschenkes meinen Abschied gegeben hatte. Ich dachte in der ersten Zeit hausig und mit seltsamen Gefuhlen an Sir Richard;
