Local Authors Past and Present
Work in progress here -- the field is richer than first envisioned. We hope to incorporate past authors (Marianne Moore, Jean Craighead George, Hugh Henry Brackenridge, and so on), present authors/illustrators (Amy Bates, Megan Lloyd-Thompson, Adrienne Su, Kim van Alkemade, Sherry Knowlton, and so on), and books from authors who knew the Valley well and wrote about events here (Lois Lenski, Lois Lowry, Conrad Richter, and so on). We will organize them with category headers for better searching and annotate them with the particulars as we work on this. Keep checking!

Back When: Sandy Hill, Kistler, Liberty Valley, Stony Point & Pine Grove, Pennsylvania
Back When: Sandy Hill, Kistler, Liberty Valley, Stony Point & Pine Grove, Pennsylvania is the story of the historic farms and crossroads of the area with 120 photographs and illustrations. Although the crossroads were of importance, it was the farms that played a large role in the history of the area. Many farms were owned by the same family for generations, thus providing stability for the individual farms and the crossroads. The farers were also educators, stonemasons, church founders, and even store and mill owners.
