Long out of print, this is a revised, second edition, with 16 additional pages. The book tells the story of the Hotel Essick and the man with a vision who built this luxury resort hotel located in East Lycoming County at the turn of the twentieth century. With the arrival of the Victorian Age, professional people had money and time to enjoy periods of leisure that had not before been possible and the Hotel Essick enjoyed the fruits of this new trend.
