William Penn, the might of Pittsburgh steel and the Revolutionary
figures of Philadelphia dominate the scene of Pennsylvania history.
Thomas White brings together a collection of tales that have been
cast in the shadows by these giants of the Keystone State. 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 feasts,
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.
