Henry Shoemaker travelled the mountains of northern and western Pennsylvania collecting the stories of old hunters, lumbermen and farm families. This volume retells them as episodes — tales of lost loves, haunted places, wayside omens, frontier hardship and the vanished passenger pigeon — set among the ridges and hollows of the Alleghenies.
