Allegheny Mountain
$4.99 Allegheny Mountain Shortly after the Revolution young men and women and their children poured over the mountain wall and made lives for themselves in the Alleghenies, land that was formerly denied to them. Some of them were my people and became the People of the Hill. My grandchildren are eight generations from Cambria County. We don't live there now but those of us who are alive today are remarkably similar to our ancestors who lived on Pringle Hill. These were intelligent and brave people of great emotional depth who could love. They expressed themselves in writing. Philip and Mary Pringle were writing love poetry to each other in 1856. I included some in this book, and also Civil War letters regarding the Seven Days, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor and Petersburg, written by members of my family who participated in those battles, and their women. Their women were of high quality and did not deserve the war that took their men away just so rich people could own slaves and not have to work themselves. Those were hard times and the rolling hills were bled dry, stripped of their men. Their strength is mine. In times of great danger I get calm and can feel them with me. Philip and Martin didn't think much of their chances of making it through the war. I've often stood by their graves on a green hillside in the Alleghenies. They could write. They could love. They could fight. We kept writing poetry too. I lost the Wallace Stevens Poetry Contest the same year a friend of mine lost the Boston Marathon. My younger brother was also a soldier and a poet, but much better than I could ever be. He was like a God walking the earth among men. The higher elevation of hissoul was apparent in his manner and verse. One day he fell in love with a mortal woman. He was brave and did not hold back, and she humbled him. The evil enchantress hurt him very badly, as Sampson was by the Philistine temptress. Rhys was driven, in his despair, to write some really hot @õÂ?\(öÿ¾Úx |

The Allegheny River: Watershed of the Nation (A Keystone Book)
$14.95 Of all the rivers in the country, few can claim as long, diverse, and colorful a history as the Allegheny. Jim Schafer and Mike Sajna take us on a trip from its mouth to its headwaters, charting the Allegheny River's history from its creation during the Ice Age to the present. Using historical records and accounts, interviews, personal experiences, and over 150 contemporary and historical photographs, Schafer and Sajna vividly portray the mighty Allegheny. The Allegheny played a key role in the French and Indian War, and after the Revolution it was the main thoroughfare for immigrants heading west to settle America from Ohio to the Northwest Territory, thus earning Pittsburgh the title Gateway to the West. Part of the river's story includes its role in the Industrial Revolution, for it once bore the environmental scars of unrestricted industrialization. Today it has rebounded to become one of the best fisheries in the state and home to a diverse collection of flora and fauna, including several endangered species. It is also now one of the most heavily used rivers for recreation in the country. Throughout the text, Sajna weaves vignettes with the famous figures and interesting characters who have encountered the river, from George Washington, John D. Rockefeller, Sr., and Andrew Carnegie, to Seneca Chief Cornplanter, John Wilkes Booth, Johnny Appleseed, and Rachel Carson. He also interviews contemporary people who live, work, or take inspiration from the river, including a woodcarver, a riverboat captain, and vacationers and naturalists. Through words and photographs, Schafer and Sajna depict the ever-changing face of the river. |
