A good trail guide
I just used this book to navigate through the Dolly Sods Wilderness loop last weekend. The book was an invaluable tool because of the (somewhat) detailed trail maps it offers and the elevation profile of the trail. I did find the 2-3 page description of the trail to be pretty good, but I felt that it was too vague in spots. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get ...

University of Pittsburgh Press, 2003

Braddock on the Monogahela reprinted at last!
Not before time Paul Kopperman's book `Braddock on the Monongahela' has been reprinted. Published as far back as 1977 and yet it still remains the most perspicacious analysis of the battle. The first 130 pages provide a stylish narrative and commentary that would be hard to exceed. The remaining 200 pages commence with an excellent bibliographic essay that reviews the historiography of the ...

Comprehensive hiking guide of MNF
This is a very good book for MNF hiking. It also includes information about which trails would be good for ski touring. It includes good trail descriptions, topo maps, area maps, contact information and some photos. There is also a trail rating system for things like scenic beauty, which I found to be helpful. The trail descriptions refer to the topo maps in the book and include highlights of ...

Great hike...great book!
I just got back from a hiking/camping experience I'll never forget. I'd never been to the Monongahela, or "Mon," as it is known, but when I saw this new hiking book I thought I would give it a try. The first hike, to Rohrbaugh Overlook, in the Dolly Sods, stunned me. Have you ever just known you were in the right place at the right time? That's how I felt, while looking over the Red Creek ...

Circular Villages of the Monongahela Tradition
Bernard K Means

University Alabama Press, 2007

Between A.D. 1000 and 1635, the inhabitants of southwestern Pennsylvania and portions of adjacent states?known to archaeologists as the Monongahela Culture or Tradition?began to reside regularly in ring-shaped village settlements. These circular settlements consisted of dwellings around a central plaza. A cross-cultural and cross-temporal review of archaeological, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic cases demonstrates that this settlement form ...

A Good Read!!!
I grew up on the Monongahela River. As a little girl I watched the coal barges glide down the river. I always wished that one of those boats would stop at our little town. I moved away from the Mon Valley about 30 years ago. A recent visit with family in the area prompted me to read this book. I couldn't put it down!! I felt like I finally received my childhood wish... I was able to ride ...

Millie Covey Fry

North Star Books, 2008

A history lovers fascinating read
I've read other writings that Ms. Covey-Fry has written and eagerly awaited the release of this book. I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Her research is always thorough and her stories easily captivate the reader's imagination of a by-gone time. She is part historian and part investigator as she pieced together her family's early roots in America.
