Here in the Keystone State, as time passes by, it becomes harder to hear a first-hand account of what life and times were like in the Pennsylvania mountains prior to the invention of the "horseless carriage" and other time-saving devices of the modern era. Many of these old-time types of Pennsylvania mountain tales have been lost forever, along with their tellers, but somehow, the author managed to rescue a few of them at the "eleventh hour" before those doors to the past have been closed forever. These are the stories that provide a picture of life in Pennsylvania's hills and valleys during and before the first half of the twentieth century and which can be found in this and previous volumes of the Pennsylvania Fireside Tales series.
