This monument to General Phillip H. Sheridan at the Lackawanna County Courthouse Square is a puzzle to me. What connection might General Sheridan have with Scranton? I don't think he ever lived here or had family from the area, and I don't know that he ever even passed through. An internet search of numerous historical sites did not provide me with an answer. |
This site is dedicated to creating and sharing a visual record that captures the distinctive character of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area and the Pocono Mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania. The neighboring cities of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre are often collectively referred to as EC/DC (as in Electric City/Diamond City). While historically known as the Electric City, Scranton is currently more famous for being home to a small but not insignificant branch of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.
