The Passenger Pigeon in Pennsylvania, published by the Altoona Tribune Company in 1919, appeared just five years after the bird's extinction worldwide. The volume contains observations and reflections on the migration patterns and behavior of the pigeon, as well as contributions from local amateur ornithologists and nature enthusiasts, including a chapter written by Henry Shoemaker. The work explores folklore and legends surrounding the passenger pigeon, its typical behavior and biology, a history of its place in the Keystone State, and an analysis of its decline and disappearance, accompanied by eyewitness accounts from bird-watchers in the Susquehanna Valley and the Appalachian region.
