However, we may then question it; it sounds so \"far-fetched\" that we can scarcely believe it's true. Did it actually happen as the tale claims, or did the story just spring from the fertile imagination of a gifted storyteller? It's an enigma that intrigued the author as well, and it's that very mystery that prompted him to delve further into the tales to see if they contain any kernels of truth or if they have a basis in fact at all. His discoveries are not only surprising but also quite amazing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Panther Days (and Nights) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ghosts of the Graveyard \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e War Whoop and Scalping Knife \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hexenhammer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lost Eldoradoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Old Scratch \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No Place Like Home \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Panther Tracks (Then and Now)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ghost Girl of Half-way Dam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Queen Esther's Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dark Side of the Mountains \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wolf Tales From the Deep Woods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wild Man of Kohler Valley \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Flying the Mail \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrazier, Jeffrey R.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Jeffrey R. Frazier was born and raised in Centre Hall, Centre County, where he says he grew up in a \"Tom Sawyer sort of way\", later graduating with a BS from Penn State in 1967, and then an MBA from Rider University in New Jersey in 1978. Some of the fondest memories of his boyhood include explorations of out-of-the-way spots in the mountains and accounts of the legends that seem to cling to them, and beginning in 1970 he began collecting those same kind of anecdotes from all over the state; ranging from the Blue Mountains of Berks and Lehigh Counties, the South Mountains of Adams County, the \"Black Forest\" area of Potter and Tioga Counties, the Alleghenies of Clearfield and Blair Counties, and the other counties in the middle. He has compiled his vast collection of tales into a series titled Pennsylvania Fireside Tales. This volume is a continuation of his work, written in a format that the average reader can enjoy, especially those who love the green valleys and cloud-covered mountain peaks of Pennsylvania as much as he does.","brand":"Catamount Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197026267410,"sku":"9798888192603","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_e51957f7-7194-4bf4-9bc3-2be5dc3c48f0.jpg?v=1776160949","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/pennsylvania-fireside-tales-volume-7-9798888192603","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
