Praise for the Frontier Pennsylvania Series:
"...overall about a lost world of encounters in the forest between the colonial Americans and the Iroquis. It's a world worth visiting."-- Robert B. Swift, author of The Mid-Appalachian Frontier
"For those looking for a relaxing evening with a good read and a strong cup of tea, I recommend picking up Bows, Bullets & Bears. You'll be glad to peruse the lives of old and hear about the adventures that not only entertain, but did actually happen. --Catherine Felegi, writer and editorAbout the Author
