There has been no "good history book" about PA for at least 20 years, and that one is more academic and out of print (although I see used listings for it on Abe Books for about $50.00).

Looking topically and regionally is the only way to get a real sense of PA history. And that includes the Arcadia series.

What is the name or author of the book?

Try this from the "Hidden History" collection: https://www.amazon.com/History-Northwestern-Pennsylvania-Jessica-Hilburn

Also, https://www.amazon.com/Backroads-Byways-Pennsylvania-Weekend-Excursions/

The book referenced in the earlier post is Pennsylvania: A History of the Commonwealth by Miller and Pencak.
