Travel Info Im doing a report on pennsylvania any info? Travel Tips Try the Pennsylvania Manual (published by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) for good background on history, symbols, major cities, etc. http://www.dgs.state.pa.us/pamanual/site... for the main site or click here to go directly to the document in PDF format (keep in mind it is over 10MB in size so it might take a minute to open): http://www.dgs.state.pa.us/pamanual/lib/... From the website:"The Pennsylvania Manual is a comprehensive guide to Pennsylvania's government. For more than 200 years, the Commonwealth has provided this information for the benefit of Pennsylvanians. It is a valuable reference for schools, libraries and the general public. It includes Pennsylvania history, the constitution and elections. It profiles the executive, judicial and legislative branches including information on the powers, functions and duties of those offices." I hope this helps.
