Hi Larry~
~just wanted to let you know that I read your book and REALLY enjoyed it!! I had no idea how much Native American History there was around Kittanning. My guess is that~since I really am historically illiterate~that there is a lot of history about which I need to learn.
~I hope others will be intrigued by the title and purchase the book!!
God Bless,
Cyndy :~)
