Volume 1:
Stories of Rural People
(of Pennsylvania's Heartlands)
These stories first appeared in
the "I Remember When" column which was initiated with the
stories of the author's grandfather, Charles H. Wert. From the
weekly newspaper column came snippets of rural life in
Pennsylvania before technology, as predominately male
storytellers recalled memories which spanned the horse-and-buggy
days to seeing a man land on the moon!
Picture yourself seated on the "loafer's
bench" at an old-time general store as the men relate tales of
days gone by. - For

Volume 2:
More Stories of Rural People
(of Pennsylvania's
Heartlands)
No matter where a woman lived in
Pennsylvania before the advancement of technology following
WWII, rural life across the Commonwealth was much the same for
the predominately female storytellers in this book.
Most were farm wives, some were one-room
school teachers, and one extraordinary woman was a bonafide lumberman!
Of particular interest to men in this book
are the photos and stories of central Pennsylvania steam
shows. - For
