Capa do Thomas White: Forgotten Tales of Pennsylvania (ePUB)

What do you really know about the Keystone State?William Penn, the Revolutionary figures of Philadelphia, and the strength of Pittsburgh’s steel all loom large in Pennsylvania’s history, but author Thomas White brings together a collection of tales that have been cast in the shadows of these giant icons. From the 1869 storm that pelted Chester County with snails to the bloody end of the Cooley gang, White selects events with an eye for the humorous and strange. Mostly true accounts of cannibalistic feats, goat-rescuing lawmen, heroic goldfish, the funeral of a gypsy queen, and a Pittsburgh canine whose obituary was featured in the New York Times all leap from the lost pages of history.
