 Echoes
from Warriors Mark, by Elizabeth Nearhoof, was originally published 0in
1967. It was out-of-print for many years, until the Huntingdon County
Historical Society produced a small reprint in 2001. All the books have
been
sold; we are now taking names and addresses, preliminary to doing
another limited reprint. Please e-mail us if you are interested, as the
timing of the reprint depends upon accumulating a sufficient number of
orders.
The book contains 417 pages of text, 52 photo pages, and 4 pages of
maps. It sells for $50.00 (plus 6% sales tax to PA buyers) and shipping
of $5.00. In
addition to coverage of the history of the extended Warriors Mark area
of
Huntingdon and Centre counties, the book is unusual for its attention to
forgotten trades, customs, and ways of doing things in the past. The
author
drew upon the memories of old residents whom she interviewed. She
included the family names of those buried in area cemeteries, the names
of those who pursued various trades and professions, and of those who
performed military service in various wars.
An index to the book is being prepared for printing as a separate
volume.
Those interested in purchasing the index should watch this site for news
of
its publication date. |
