Jeffrey R Frazier

Pennsylvania Mountain Landmarks Volume 4

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

As one ancient author once invited his readers to "gaze upon the mountains, for they brood upon things eternal," readers of this volume are encouraged to do the same. That is, to gaze upon the cloud-capped mountains of Pennsylvania; to hike their twisting trails; to enter their dark hollows; to follow their rushing glens and to invade their mist-cloaked sanctuaries. Those who incline to do so will also be driven to know what's around that next bend in the trail and to discover the secrets that await. This volume, like its predecessors, offers readers suggestions to satisfy their wanderlust and provides directions to those places. For example, in this fourth volume, readers might be lured to the Indian Steps, The Devil's Chair, Witches Hill, The Bloody Rock, or to Pennsylvania's own Stonehenges. Photos of each of these and of the other sites described in this volume are included to enhance the reader's armchair experience, as are the interesting historical accounts and human-interest stories that surround the landmarks and add to their appeal. In this volume:Some Pennsylvania Stonehenges (Northampton and Centre Counties) The Devil's Chair (Mifflin County) The Landmarks in Elk State Forest (Elk County) Lewistown Narrows (Mifflin County) Indian Steps-Revisited (Huntingdon and Centre Counties) The Bloody Rock (Wyoming County) Witches' Hill (Berks and Somerset Counties) Half King's Rocks (Fayette County)

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.
