Just as in the previous volume (Pennsylvania Mountain Landmarks, Volume 4) many of the landmarks in this volume have deep-rooted connections to Native American culture and lore. It is a link that suggests that these forest monuments were of as much interest to those Aboriginals as they are to us today. They proved to be as awe-inspiring and as mysterious to them as we find them to be at the present time.

These rock piles of monumental grandeur seem to be apparent memorials to a grander race of men, and the same places still offer those same grand scenic effects to anyone who wants to enjoy them. It therefore seems appropriate to reintroduce these unique places to those who like to explore the many trails and mountain byways that Pennsylvania has to offer.

It is also recommended that the hiking trails be the pathway of choice. This pedestrian route affords the nature lover views of every scenic vista; time to contemplate cloud shapes floating in a blue sky overhead; the thrill of sharing the woods with every wild animal that unexpectedly appears along the way; the stress-relieving silence of the woods punctuated now and then by birdsongs, and the fulfilling beauty of colorful wildflowers that decorate the trailside. Such places are enough to draw us all to lofty mountain tops and to rushing streams cascading down mountain glens.

Frazier, Jeffrey R.: - 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.
