Copyright: Susquehanna Records. Publisher: Winfield Publishing Company, Northumberland, Pa. [liner] "In the year 1681, a charter signed by King Charles II gave shape to a new provincial colony. The proprietorship was given to William Penn and it is from this great man that the province gained its title. Penn was reputedly modest about lending his name to the land, but controlling his pride would have been difficult had he been able to see his colony's role in founding this nation. As Penn's Sylvania prospered, its importance in colonial America grew. Among the colony's greatest assets was Philadelphia, the second largest city in the English Empire. Being a profitable city and well located geographically, it became a "keystone" where the Second Continental Congress was to meet and the Declaration of Independence would be signed. This album, while highlighting Pennsylvannia's role in the development of this country, shows the impact of the whole colonial struggle to free itself from English rule. It is based on factual material with the research coming from primary sources and the dramatizations based on actual events. Here, then, is a tribute to Pennsylvania as narrated by Lorne Greene and backed by an original and highly innovative sound score."
