Summary:

"This book proceeds from an exhibition that opened in November 1989 at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Titled 'Visions and Revisions: Finding Philadelphia's Past,' the exhibit attempts to keep a promise made just half a century before Edward Carey Gardiner, Julian P. Boyd, and other leaders of the Society. The historians, curators, and designers involved thought of the exhibit as part of the ongoing process of refinding and redefining American history - - in this case the history of Philadelphia and the surrounding region." - introduction.
