Author Information

Arthur Dundore Graeff, Ph.D., (1899-1969) was a lifelong educator and history enthusiast from western Berks County, Pennsylvania, the heart of the Pennsylvania Dutch culture. Graeff was a scholar and leader in the study of Pennsylvania Dutch culture on the boards of both the Pennsylvania Folklife Society and the Pennsylvania German Society. He helped lead the combination of these groups in the late 1960s and was the president of the combined organization. He was a contemporary of such scholars as Fred Weiser, Don Yoder, Preston Barba, Albert Buffington, and Alfred Shoemaker. Graeff was the author of several books and numerous papers and articles but was best known for his Scholla series of local history in the Reading Times. Graeff originally published this volume through the Pennsylvania Folklore Society in 1945. Lawrence Knorr, his great grand nephew, has edited this volume and added a new epilogue about the importance of Conrad Weiser to American history. George M. Meiser IX provides his recollections of Arthur Graeff the beloved local historian. Lawrence Knorr has authored or co-authored over 20 books, mostly on history or biography. He is a member of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), the Sons of the American Revolution, and numerous other historical organizations. He enjoys most writing about the formerly famous and his beloved Pennsylvania Dutch culture. He is a lifetime Penn State alum. George M. Meiser, IX was born, reared, and educated in Reading, Pennsylvania. Soon after graduating from Kutztown University, he was appointed principal of the Alsace Consolidated School, in the Oley Valley of Berks County, Pennsylvania. From 1966 to 1996, he had been on the faculty of the Wyomissing Area School District. Mr. Meiser is well known for his long-running newspaper series, The Passing Scene, which had some 225 installments in the Reading Eagle, beginning in 1977. Mr. Meiser joined the Historical Society of Berks County in August 1959. He served as associate editor of the Historical Review of Berks County (1966-1999), followed by five years as publisher. Mr. Meiser was vice-president of the Historical Society of Berks County from 1996 to1998 and its president from 1998 to 2011; thereafter, he became president emeritus.
