Synopsis Historic Tales of the Pennsylvania Wilds by : Kathy Myers
With sixteen thousand miles of streams and rivers, twenty-nine state parks and nine state and national forests spread out over twelve counties, the Pennsylvania Wilds is an immensely special place in the Commonwealth. Beyond the stunning scenery lies important history of early America. A young George Washington traversed the expanse, cutting his teeth as a military leader. Violence between Native Americans and colonists in the territory left its bloody mark, from the Penn's Creek Massacre to the Great Cove Massacre. After the American Revolution, early settler families forged roots, built communities and developed the region into a patchwork of frontier towns. Through a series of richly compelling narratives, author Kathy Myers reveals the early history of the Pennsylvania Wilds.

Synopsis Pioneers of Second Fork by : James P. Burke
Investigating the undocumented mysteries of the past is similar to analyzing the remains of an old campfire pit. Only black, charded ashes remain of what once was a blazing fire. The smoke from the old campfire has long since disappeared into the atmosphere. the cracking sounds of hot flames dancing through the burning longs have long since vanished into memories of the past. The author's quest for information on the early pioneers of Second Fork has taken him from the State Museum in Augusta Maine to the Civil War prison in Andersonville, Georgia, visiting historical societies, libraries, museums, battlefields, cemeteries and other points of historical significance in between. He has interviewed numerous pioneer descendants and historians. The family profiles of these pioneers takes the reader on an adventure from the Court of Queen Catherine in England to the shores of Plymouth Harbor and on to Los Angles, California, founded by a son of a pioneer born and educated in the backwoods of Second Fork. Emerging from the bits and pieces of information, the author has rekindled the old campfire into an illuminating history of the Pioneers of Second Fork. James Burke is President of the Mt. Zion Historical Society. The Mt. Zion Historical Society has developed and currently is expanding a historical park dedicated to acknowledging and preserving the history and heritage of the Bennett's Branch.

Synopsis Mr. Jefferson and the Giant Moose by : Lee Alan Dugatkin
Capturing the essence of the origin and evolution of the so-called "degeneracy debates," over whether the flora and fauna of America (including Native Americans) were naturally weaker and feebler than species elsewhere in the world, this book chronicles Thomas Jefferson's efforts to counter French conceptions of American degeneracy, culminating in his sending of a stuffed moose to Buffon

Synopsis The Armstrong Brothers by : David O. Smith
This is the story of James, John, and Hamilton Armstrong, three sons of a yeoman farmer living on the Pennsylvania frontier at the outset of the American Revolution. James and John joined the Continental Army in 1776, rose from the ranks to become officers, and served until the army was disbanded in 1783. Hamilton remained home to work the farm, protect the family, and serve in militia and “ranger” units to defend the frontier from repeated attacks from hostile Indian tribes. Their combined wartime experiences encompassed almost the totality of the American Revolution, from Canada in the north to South Carolina in the south and along the western frontier. James and John fought in most of the major battles of the revolution, including Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, Guilford Courthouse, Eutaw Springs, and Yorktown, where they distinguished themselves in the eyes of generals like the Marquis de Lafayette, Mad Anthony Wayne, Light- Horse Harry Lee, Nathanael Greene, and George Washington.
