Forgotten Tales Of Pennsylvania (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
For over a decade, I have studied the history of the state in a professional capacity in one form or another. As an archivist, curator and professor, I worked with documents and artifacts from the cradle of liberty in the East to the workshop of the world in the West. I have spent countless hours reading books and articles dealing with everything from the French and Indian War to the Cold War in Pennsylvania. But those stories are familiar to many, and that is not what this book is about. This book is about the things that you stumble across when you are researching all of the big events. This book covers the strange stuff. It is about the bizarre anecdotes, trivia, legends and mostly forgotten stories that you do not normally see in a history book; the kind of stories I, and hopefully you, like best. Writing this book reinforced for me just how interesting—and weird—Pennsylvania’s history is. For example, you probably did not know that there were werewolves and giant snakes in Pennsylvania (at least that’s what they tell me) or that there are several lost treasures hidden or buried here.
