Lillian McCahan was the Ohiopyle Western Maryland Railroad Agent
during World War II. She had already written several books
including This Little Town, in 1940. It chronicled Ohiopyle life
and happenings for one year. During the war she wrote a column, Our
Soldiers, in the local publication, The Messenger. Through her
column, she kept local soldiers up to date on where each of them
were and what was happening to them. Each month, for almost four
years, she mailed them to the men all over the world. Oftentimes,
she published the letters they sent to her. From September 1946
through September 1947, McCahan wrote the book, That Little Town,
sharing what was happening with the soldiers who were "lucky"
enough to return home. This book was never published, but the
original manuscript was donated to author Marci Lynn McGuinness,
along with 100 of the soldier's letters. The new book, Ohiopyle,
That Little Town, WWII, combines McCahan's manuscript and columns
with the soldier's letters. From Pearl Harbor to the last soldier
home, McCahan takes you back to a time when hundreds of people
lived in the borough, and 150 local young men were away at war. In
1948, McCahan went on to prompt the preservation of Ohiopyle's
Ferncliff Peninsula and scenic riverside mountains.
