Mauch Chunk
Pennell, Joseph, 1857-1926 · 1919
"Once this place was popular, once people cared for America, and things American, now they care for the things and the places they are told to care for, and they herd together where they are told to go. Yet though the hotels are deserted the river still makes the railroad line curl, and the switchback still runs, and this panorama of work and beauty is now accessible by trolley, yet it is deserted, save by the people, who would be seen where they go. And Mauch Chunk is the entrance to the most wonderful arrangement of the Wonder of Work in the World." J[oseph] P[ennell].
