Thornwald: A Testament of the Sadler Legacy
Thornwald: A Testament of the Sadler Legacy
SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR! Laura L. Strickler, an independent historian, has written, designed, and published the definitive work on one of the few remaining grand mansions of Carlisle's Golden Age. Illustrated with hundreds of photographs, Strickler provides the detailed history of the eminent family who built Thornwald, its place in local history, and a room-by-room description with multiple photographs of each room. She thoroughly covers its checkered passage through later owners, including the fire that almost destroyed it. Her book, published in 2012, was a labor of love as well as scholarship, and her dedication to the story lives in every page.
