2012 edition of the Journal of York County Heritage:
Members recently received their complimentary copy of the third edition of the Journal of York County Heritage. This publication is now available for public purchase. Scholarly articles featured in the 2012 edition highlight lesser known stories about York County during the Civil War and into the 20th century.
Wounded soldiers and York citizens felt the impact of the U.S. Army General Hospital on Penn Common and county residents filed damage claims in response to their losses as inflicted by the Confederate invasion. Twentieth century York County saw the migration of African-Americans from Bamberg, South Carolina as well as a 1915 religious revival held in a York tabernacle.
