Description
"If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday." (Pearl S. Buck)
Wild souls, free spirits, and savage thoughts live on in the remarkable attic of a young girl growing up in the mountainous Pennsylvania Wilds during the 1960s and '70s, among the grand, historic remains of a turn-of-the-1900s Boomtown.
“When my Aunt Alice was a teenager,” Mom said, “She hopped on the train with her boyfriend and headed to New York City with the intention of getting married. Her mother, your great-grandmother Lulu Muldoon, was on the next train and determined to stop them, which she would have, but she lost them in the New York train station..."
Read in Pennsylvania’s Allegheny Mountains by the author, The Great Aunt Alice Collection presents tall tales and telling truths told in rural Elk County, PA, from the late 1870s to the late 1970s.
Excerpt:
“I looked for the ghosts of the forest, when we ice skated on the frog pond in the deep woods, but never saw them. ‘Those will come alive in the spring, when it thaws,’ Dad told us about the frogs - clearly frozen mid-sprawl in the ice under our feet. Now, who could believe that? Those frogs were certainly dead. This frog tale was just like the yellow-brown salve Dad put on our cuts. Mrs. McKinley’s bear salve. Really? From a bear?”
Author Megan Schreiber-Carter is a third-generation native of Pennsylvania's Allegheny Mountains and a career writer. Her bio and more of her writing may be found at www.megansdesk.net. The Great Aunt Alice Collection is also available as a richly illustrated e-book and paperback (from BookShop and Amazon, among other distributors).
The Great Aunt Alice Collection is part of my series called Mostly-True Stories because no one’s memory is objective and because some names and details have been changed to protect privacy. The information in this story are offered to inform, enlighten, and entertain, but are offered without liability in connection with the use of them.
