Volume Four of the Pennsylvania Fireside Tales series contains more of the old-time Pennsylvania mountain legends and folktales collected by the author over the last fifty years. Just like in his previous editions, this volume will entertain those who enjoy reading about Pennsylvania's early "highlanders" and their stories that have come down to the present day over the currents of oral history and tradition. Readers will find themselves transported back to the times when the state's mountains were still inhabited by wolves, panthers, witches, ghosts, Indians, and other "throw-backs" to a harder yet simpler age. Today that era still seems to beckon to us from the depths of cool mountain hollows and from the windy heights of Pennsylvania's tradition-steeped peaks. And as the frantic pace of modern-day life increases, the allure of the old tales seems to grow stronger, drawing us back to a seemingly pleasanter and slower time when a good storyteller was appreciated as much as a good book is today.

Frazier, Jeffrey R.: - "Jeffrey R. Frazier, born and raised in Centre Hall, Centre County, holds a BS from Penn State and an MBA from Rider University. Growing up in a "Tom Sawyer" sort of way, he has always loved the Pennsylvania mountains, and has collected their folktales andlegends for over fifty years, starting in 1970. He self-published them in a series of eight volumes titled Pennsylvania Fireside Tales. Since the tales often sound "far-fetched" today, the author takes on the role of an investigative reporter to explore their origins, writing in a format that the average reader can enjoy.In 2024 he became a published author when Sunbury Press in Harrisburg came out with his three-volume series titled Pennsylvania Mountain Landmarks - subtitled "an armchair journey to some of the most unusual and inaccessible landmarks in the Pennsylvania mountains and the history and legends that surround them. Sunbury Press has also decided to publish expanded and improved versions of all eight volumes of the author's Pennsylvania Fireside Tales series and of his Pennsylvania Fireside Ghost Tales. Readers can purchase the books through Amazon, Sunbury Press, or through the author's website (pafiresidetales.com)."
