Outstanding production. Very educational! Thank You!!
I would like to see tours of the Stegmaier Mansions get included if possible.
I was born in WB but have been in NJ for years. I learned so much from this video. I went to St. Nicks too!
Tony, excellent history and production of Wilkes-barre! Great camera work too! You mentioned Zebulon Butler! I am a direct-blood descendent of a Capt. Samuel Ransom who served under Zebulon Butler. My 6th great grandfather, Captain Samuel Ransom lost his life fighting the British and their Iroquois / Mohawk allies. Samuel was originally a peaceful land surveyor who was part of the Susquehanna Company commissioned by King Charles I of Britain. Ironically Connecticut had a claim to the Wilkes-barre / Wyoming Vally area as Samuel served in a Connecticut regiment and is buried at the Battle of Wyoming Valley monument/battlefield. I am also related to the Steeles, a Scots-Irish family who settled in Wilkes-barre. The Steele family ran the main ferry service between Wilkes-bare and Kingston, PA.
Still cannot find the 1960s'/1970's Stegmaier Ring A Ding Ding radio jingle !

"Ring-a-ding-ding do the Stegmaier thing"!
Very nice job! Between the historical perspective and the beautiful filming, this should prove to be a really great series. Keep up the good work!
Great job Tony!
This is a Wonderful Idea, Loved seeing this. Great Job to everyone who helped with this. Thank You
Looking forward to the next video. Great job Tony!
The history of our two main libraries-the HOYT and OSTERHOUT-especially how they bounced back after flood(s). would be a good project. this video is great!
Great video. Enjoyed the history. Thanks!
Really well done. I'll know more about W-B than when I lived near there.
This is great hollenbach is my favorite cemetery in the area. Any history on the coal breaker next door would appreciated.
Thank you Tony!
Very informative. Thank you for doing these videos.
Well done!
Great stuff tony!
Why did he lose almost all of his money and how did he save it?
Stegmaier lost his business and house after the Panic of 1873. According to Robert Janosov's book on Stegmaier, he went back into business with his sons and "somehow managed." Not the greatest answer, but hey did it and bounced back. I think it amazing how Charles immigrated from Germany with nothing, started a business, lost the everything, started back up and left $4 million to his children.
My my
A lot of German heritage in the area.
German Roman Catholic 🙄🙄🙄 sounds like an altar boys worst nightmare
Wilke Barre stinks. There's a lot they can do with: that town .
