PREFACE ...Selected materials in anannotated bibliographypr(Xdethe basic foundation stones for building a body of content. The scope and purpose 0 this bibliography is to acquaint the reader with the most representativebooks on Pennsylvania History for use in elementary and secondary schoolclassrooms. Entries are accompanied by a descriptiVe review, except where atitle is self-explanatory. Only secondary sources have been included. The list is narrow in its spectrum, but sufficientlyvariable to provide initial points of interest for.further study. Therefore, the bibliography constitutes a guide to a limited body .of literature in arather simplified manner, but assumes the reader willread other material on his/her own. t-rf! The reader may question certain entries based onpublication dates, but one will find the older,well-established libraries,-loca,l and coalty historical societies, and college libraries and curriculum centerswill have them available. For further study the teacher should select morematerial from such sources as the Pennsylvania Historicaland Museum Commission Book and Publi- cation List, 1983-84; the Pennsylvania Historicaland Museum Commission publi- cation, Pennsylvania Historical Bibliography,compiled by John B.B. Trussell, Jr.; New Perspectives: A Bibliography of Racial,Ethnic and Feminist Resources, compiled by Elizabeth S.- Haller, Pennsylvania Departwentof Education.. Following the lead set by the 1982 report of theHistory Commission of the Council for Basic EdUcation, Making History Come.Alive: The Place of History in the Schools, a new section on historical fictionhas been added to this resource guide. If, as the report states, the irreducible minimum begins )n the elementarygrades by eying the K-6 student an acquaintance with the past throughprogressively sophisticated narratives, then juvenile fiction is an important element inteaching Pennsylvania studies.

  • Chapter Title
    Centre County Demographics and Travel Patterns The purpose of this chapter is to describe Centre County in terms of demographics, major and minor trip generators, planning and zoning, and travel patterns. This information, when considered relative to the inventory of available transportation modes in Centre County, helps to identify specific areas that present the greatest need for transportation improvements. The large land area of Centre County (almost 1,100 square miles), and the County’s mountain ridges and valleys impact the physical layout of transportation infrastructure. Demographic indicators must also be considered within the context of these geographic attributes. Within this chapter, socioeconomic data at the census tract level from the 2010 US Census, 2009-13 American Community Survey (ACS), and the information from Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County (CBICC) is presented relative to the following categories: • Population and Density • Vehicle Availability • Income and Poverty • Labor Force and Unemployment • Public Assistance and SSI Income • Educational Attainment • Distribution of Jobs • Distribution of Age 65 and Older Population and Social Security Income • Distribution of Disabled Population • Housing Figure 2, which is a map of census tracts within Centre County, is presented on the following page.

  • Penns Valley Rail Trail
    CHAPTER 2 PHYSICAL FEASIBILITY— what is the condition of the railbed now, and what are the opportunities and constraints to repurposing it as a rail trail? Like the ingenuous footpaths Native Americans mapped out along the most dry level and direct route through the ridges and valleys centuries ago, the L&T’s surveyors and engineers followed the lowlands near the center of the valley and the gaps through the mountains carved by the creek to avoid steep slopes, locating the railbed on the natural bench above the creek or creating a new bench for the railbed where none existed before to avoid wet areas and washouts from annual Spring freshets and the occasional 100 year flood or hurricane. For the most part, that strategy worked, explaining why much of the railbed remains intact today, more than a century after it was built. Nevertheless, the corridor is not without its issues. Many sections of the railbed are overgrown with small trees and impassable thickets of invasive shrubs, the stone ballast oftentimes hidden from view beneath verdant beds of grass and moss. Puddling occurs in places where culverts filled in after the railbed was abandoned. In some areas, the railbed has been altered, removed or already repurposed for driveways, fencerows and cropland, or more intensive uses, like the Penn Township sewer plant and the Grange Fair concessions area. Some lands are in ag preservation, which prohibits non-agricultural activities, including trails. The floor of both tunnels are littered with rock, calling into question the safety of their use by the general public.

Box 658, Clayton, DE 19938. 1-800-932-4593. www.prestwickhouse.com Permission to copy this unit for classroom use is extended to purchaser for his or her personal use. This material, in whole or part, may not be copied for resale. ISBN 978-1-560389-841-6 Reorder No. 201611 The Light in the Forest TEACHING UNIT Notes Published in 1953, this novel is a piece of historical fiction. Historical fiction is a genre that places characters in accurately described historical settings. These stories blend historical facts with fictional plots, creating a story that could have occurred in the given setting. The stories are set in a historical period remote enough from the present to be considered history. The Light in the Forest is a product of Conrad Richter’s thorough research of the relationship between the Indians and the white settlers in eighteenth century Ohio and Pennsylvania. It is inspired by true accounts of white captives who tried to escape their biological families and return to their Indian foster homes, and is based on an actual event that occurred in 1764. During the fall of that year, Colonel Bouquet, who is an historic figure as well as a character in the book, marched with 1,500 soldiers into Ohio and commanded the Indians to release their white prisoners. The colonel and his troops arrived at Fort Pitt on November 9, 1764 with 206 former white captives, many of whom were angry at their forced return.

  • War Council to Meet on the ‘FIFTEENTH of the MOON’; the Phases of the Moon Were Used As the Indians’ Way of Establishing Time
    THE PONTIAC COUNCIL & PONTIAC’S WAR* Historical background: 1763 *Variously referred to as Pontiac’s War, Pontiac’s Uprising, Pontiac’s Rebellion, or the Conspiracy of Pontiac. WHO: PONTIAC, or Obwandiyag (born ca. 1720 – April 20, 1769), was a Native American Ottawa war leader, remembered for his participation in the struggle against British occupation of the Great Lakes region that bears his name: Pontiac's War. Pontiac rose to great fame and importance during this war, and yet the documentary evidence of Pontiac's life is scanty. Much of what has been written about the chief has been based on tradition and speculation, and so depictions of him have varied greatly over the years. Beyond Pontiac himself, we turn to a literal cast of thousands on the 1763 stage: the CHIEFTAINS and WARRIORS of the Indian Nations of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions; the British SOLDIERS and OFFICERS who commanded and garrisoned the forts in the region; the British SETTLERS with the aim of moving westward from the crowded English/American colonies; the French HABITANTS who had lived in the region for generations; and the French & British TRADERS, all hoping to make their fortunes here. [For a list of important names see the last pages.] [portrait of Pontiac by John Mix Stanley, Detroit Historical Museum] Flag of New France 1760 Flag of Britain 1760 WHAT: It is said that Pontiac’s April 1763 COUNCIL on the ECORSE RIVER* was the largest Indian council attended by multiple Nations yet to meet in the western territory. Chiefs and warriors of the Great Lakes Nations were summoned together, and in a few weeks’ time over a dozen tribes would join the campaign.
