Bells have figured in the culture and lives of Americans since the earliest days of our country. As Historian of the American Bell Association, I appreciate that Neil Goeppinger has shared his lifetime of research so that current and future generations will have all the essential facts about large bells and foundries of America at their fingertips. If your interest is also in Americana and the sights and sounds of days gone by, you will find much of interest in Large Bells of America: History of Church Bells, Fire Bells, School Bells, Dinner Bells and Their Foundries. - Kathleen Collins, Historian, American Bell Association This is the most extensive book published on big bells. Neil has done exhaustive research over the years and it shows in this book. The history is fascinating, along with the directory listings and the pictures. This is a book you just cannot put down! - Bruce Clayton, CPA, bell appraiser Mr. Goeppinger has served as President of the American Bell Association, International, Inc. (ABAII). He continues to serve ABA as past-president and goodwill ambassador. You can find his articles and comments on the American Bell Association website. - Gary Childress, bell enthusiast and purveyor

Synopsis
Bells have played a significant role in US history and, in many cases are seen as national symbols. This is especially true when it comes to the Liberty Bell, cast at a foundry in England in 1752 and shipped to Philadelphia, where it was installed in the assembly house. Bells have also played a central role in this author's life. "I can still picture the 18-inch iron dinner bell that my mother used to call both myself and my brother to meals when we were out playing on the family farm in Iowa. Indeed, my wife and I copied this 'PA' system when we purchased our own large bell nearly 40 years ago. That was the start of a life-long passion which has resulted in my collection of American large bells, and knowledge of bells which I have been privileged to share with bell enthusiasts across the country." Large Bells of America provides a host of information not simply for enthusiasts and collectors, but also for anyone who is interested in bells, and in the part that these American symbols have played in United States history and our cultural, Christian and church heritage. This full-color book is divided into two parts. In the first part of the book the author looks at the early history of bells and their physical characteristics including the components of a bell; the materials used to make bells, and the different sound qualities that these materials produce; the various shapes produced; the difference between swinging and stationery bells; how bells are tuned and much more. This part of the book also looks at such things as how the truly big bells are created and how old bells can be restored. The second part of the book provides a comprehensive directory of bell foundries, and includes fascinating details of hundreds of foundries, including some very well-known names such as Andrew Meneely, Pass & Stow and Paul Revere, whose 1797 bell hangs in the People's Baptist Church of Boston. Indeed, there are believed to be well over 100 church bells in existence bearing the Revere inscription. Whether you are a bell enthusiast or collector, or simply have an interest in US history and the part that large bells have played in the life of our nation, this book is a must read., Large Bells of America provides a host of information for enthusiasts and collectors, as well as for those interested in bells, and the part played by these American symbols in United States history and our cultural and Christian heritage. Includes a comprehensive directory of foundries and a large number of color photographs and illustrations.
