Here in the Keystone State, as time passes by, it becomes harder to hear a first-hand account of what life and times were like in the Pennsylvania mountains prior to the invention of the "horseless carriage" and other time-saving devices of the modern era. Many of these old-time types of Pennsylvania mountain tales have been lost forever, along with their tellers, but somehow, the author managed to rescue a few of them at the "eleventh hour" before those doors to the past have been closed forever.

Here in the Keystone State, as time passes by, it becomes harder to hear a first-hand account of what life and times were like in the Pennsylvania mountains prior to the invention of the "horseless carriage" and other time-saving devices of the modern era. Many of these old-time types of Pennsylvania mountain tales have been lost forever, along with their tellers, but somehow, the author managed to rescue a few of them at the "eleventh hour" before those doors to the past have been closed forever. These are the stories that provide a picture of life in Pennsylvania's hills and valleys during and before the first half of the twentieth century and which can be found in this and previous volumes of the Pennsylvania Fireside Tales series.

Autorenporträt
Jeffrey R. Frazier was born and raised in Centre Hall, Centre County, where he says he grew up in a "Tom Sawyer sort of way", later graduating with a BS from Penn State in 1967, and then an MBA from Rider University in New Jersey in 1978. Some of the fondest memories of his boyhood include explorations of out-of-the-way spots in the mountains and accounts of the legends that seem to cling to them, and beginning in 1970 he began collecting those same kind of anecdotes from all over the state; ranging from the Blue Mountains of Berks and Lehigh Counties, the South Mountains of Adams County, the "Black Forest" area of Potter and Tioga Counties, the Alleghenies of Clearfield and Blair Counties, and the other counties in the middle. He has compiled his vast collection of tales into a series titled Pennsylvania Fireside Tales. This volume is a continuation of his work, written in a format that the average reader can enjoy, especially those who love the green valleys and cloud-covered mountain peaks of Pennsylvania as much as he does.
