Shamokin, Pennsylvania: First Center of Lemko Business in America

Bogdan Horbal and I wrote an article, "Shamokin, Pennsylvania: First Center of Lemko Business in America," that was recently published in the Річник Руской Бурсы / Rocznik Ruskiej Bursy 2015 (Gorlice, Poland), which has just been issued.
