{"product_id":"9781620061206","title":"There is Something About Rough and Ready: A History of the Village at the Heart of the Mahantongo Valley","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe little village of Rough and Ready in Upper Mahantongo Township, Schuylkill County, PA is set in the center of the Mahantongo Valley, famous for its Pennsylvania Dutch culture -- especially the painted furniture. This book focuses on the social history of the village, anchored by information from the 1850 census and Salem Reformed Church cemetery records. This was the famous Isaac F Stiehly's church and most of the families mentioned were in his congregation. The book contains hundreds of photos, most over 100 years old, of life in the Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Origins of Rough and Ready\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1850 Census in Upper Mahantongo Township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Old Man\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnorr and Stiely Connections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Monroe and Harvey Stiely Mill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaurers of the Mahantongo Valley\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManasses Maurer Family\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaroline Gonser, Indian Maiden of Creek Town, Rough and Ready, Upper Mahantongo Township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteve Rebuck Visits the Mahantongo Valley 24th August, 2010\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel A.
