Tales of Dunkard Ridge: Life and Lore from a West Virginia Hill Farm - Paperback
by Norma Jean Venable (Author)
Life in a Civil War era log cabin, old time recipes, rowdy teamsters and exploding nitroglycerin wagons from Dunkard Ridge's oil field history, and stories of haunted hollows and phantom hogs, are examples of some of the anecdotes, fact or fantasy, as told to the author by her neighbors after she and her husband bought their West Virginia hill farm in 1967. The farm is located near the Greene County, Pennsylvania and Monongalia County, West Virginia border. The book also has area history and many old time photographs.
The author also describes life on their farm with adventures and misadventures with their horses, and tells about making maple syrup, beekeeping, hunting ramps and mushrooms, and rafting down Dunkard Creek. The book also describes the wondrous beauty of West Virginia through the seasons.
