Pennsylvania Mountain Landmarks Volume 2

This second volume in the Pennsylvania Mountain Landmarks series includes more accounts of the author’s explorations of little-traveled byways and cloud-capped hilltops in the mountains of Pennsylvania. Highlights of the additional unique and unusual places he discovered will appeal to those who enjoyed Volume 1 in this series and also to all those who seek adventure and who like to explore odd and mysterious places. Places like this described herein include Beartown Rocks, Lochabar, Ole Bull’s Castle, Sentinel Rock, and Blue Hill, and many others that make this series so intriguing. As in Volume 1, photos of the sites described are also included, which allow readers to gain a deeper appreciation for them. In addition, the human interest stories and historical accounts that cling to them are, as in Volume 1, presented as well, thereby adding that flavor and color that enhances their appeal. Such stories take the reader back to another time and place; a simpler, and some would say a calmer and more moral era, which charms us today. It is that allurement that beckons many of us to find these places; not only to see them for ourselves, but also to perhaps remind us of the local history and lore that add to the mystique of our Pennsylvania mountains.In this volume:The Standing Stone (Huntingdon County)Sentinel Rock (Franklin County)Indian Head Rock (Columbia County)Ole Bull’s Castle (Potter County)Blue Hill (Northumberland County)King Wi-Daagh’s Grave (Lycoming County)Hoodoo – They Think They’re Fooling (Huntingdon County)Towering Above The Rest (Elk/Sullivan Counties)A Heavenly Path (Jefferson County et. al.)Native American Mementoes (Centre County et. al.)The Witness Tree (Centre County)Lochabar (Lycoming County)A Timely Reminder (Union County)Beartown Rocks (Centre and Jefferson Counties)The Rock Garden (Sullivan County)Read more
