Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses Delivered Before the Dauphin County Historical Society: In the State Capitol, Harrisburg, July 4, 1876 [In every section of Dauphin county, the one hundredth anniversary of American Independence was celebrated with a degree of enthusiasm scarcely equaled since Independence Bell "Proclaimed Liberty throughout all the Land," in 1776. In the City of Harrisburg, and the boroughs of Lykens, Millersburg and Middletown, the celebration embraced civic parades, orations, and displays of fire-works. At the seat of government the arrangements for addresses to be delivered on the occasion, was conceded, as it was confided to the Historical Society of Dauphin county, which at once directed the preparation of appropriate sketches, assigned as follows: The Ecclesiastical History of Dauphin County: To Rev. Thomas H. Robinson, D. D. Dauphin County in the Revolution: To A. Boyd Hamilton. Historical Review of Dauphin County: To William H. Egle, M. D. In addition to these, John L. Sexton was requested to prepare an address on the "Industrial Progress of Pennsylvania." The three former being the more intimately connected with the historic record of the county of Dauphin, are herewith presented.
