History's Headlines: Patrick Gordon of Gordon Street (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just about everyone who is familiar with Allentown has traveled on Gordon Street. It is so old that it is on a copy of the first map of the city that was drawn by William Allen or someone who was surveying it for him. The probable reason for its name is that it honors Col. Patrick Gordon, deputy governor from 1726 to 1736, who was one of the first individuals that a very young Allen had to deal with on taking over his fatherâs business on his death in 1726. Perhaps lessons he learned from Gord

Read excerpt
There are several places named Franklin in New Jersey, and most of them are apparently named after Ben. As both a significant leader in the American Revolution and among one of the countryâs first scientific minds, he stands out for being honored both here and abroad. But there could be exceptions.

He was later for many years Prothonotary of the Philadelphia Courts, an ancient term used to describe a chief clerk of courts. The term was so obscure that in 1948 when President Harry Truman was making his whistle stop t

Read excerpt
A lot happened in the year 1915. The long peace that had enveloped Europe had become a brutal and bloody war. Aircraft, hailed as a marvel, were now killing machines. And the sinking of the liner Lusitania with Americans aboard her remained a reminder to many that they were not immune from that conflict. But for many others, particularly in Pennsylvania, the issue that year that consumed many was getting women the right to vote. Not that it was isolated to the Keystone State. Ever since Mark Twa
