A compelling series of insightful biographical sketches of the men and women of the York County Bar commencing eleven years before the start of the Civil War as recounted by contemporaries and colleagues. Candid, sincere, honest, and on occasion with a touch of comic relief, these memorial minutes are tributes to those who have made their rendezvous with mortality. Found within these volumes is the venerable Jeremiah S. Black who walked the corridors of national recognition during the Civil War era; the urbane and brilliant Herbert B. Cohen who wielded substantial political power throughout the commonwealth and rose to become an associate justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court; the charismatic Harvey Gross whose superb advocacy in the third Hex trial and subsequent twenty-year tenure on the York County Orphans' Court placed him in the forefront of the princes of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence. This "callout" of the giants in no way diminishes the significance, commitment and integrity of the many other remarkable individuals who came after and counseled and inspired others to live honestly, to exercise compassion, to act with prudence and diligence, and above all else made their contribution to the vast and diverse panorama of our humanity. Not a typical memoir or story, these memorial minutes constitute the defining epic of the York County Bar. More than history, more than recitals of character and personality, of delightful encounters and more somber content, they are about individuals remembered for the richness and power of their hopes, achievements and commitments to the timeless values of the life of the law.
