Oral history book gives flavor of York in years past

| | Comments (0)

Raymond Sechrist's "Skinny Dipping in the Codorus" has been available to the public since 1991, but it merits a look by those who have never read about Sechrist's boyhood adventures... .

It's basically a walking tour of turn-of-the-20th century York, complete with maps, that can be used for the same purpose today. (Available at the York County Heritage Trust).

The title of this oral history captures its fun tone and several posts on sister blog York Town Square might whet your appetite: 'There were only so many cells in that old stone prison', When the bridge over the Codorus moved and Skinny Dipping in the Codorus?
