The People of Penn's Woods West


Edwin Peterson has written 'Penns woods west' in 1958.
Lee Gutkind refers to Peterson's work as 'his words were about wildlife, but his message was to man' and to his own work in 'The peoples of Penns woods west' as ' my message is to man, and about man'.

Lee Gutkind has written about the

history - of Clarion River, of the first settler John Cook, Scotty and Mama

lifestyle- of a legendary marksman Jake Guiton, gameskeeper Vogelbacher, of a skilled cooper whose son though alive is lost to the war, buck season, Nessmuk's light canoes, snakehunting and sacking, truckers

attitude- of one-arm blacksmith, of a papermill that 'reverses its mistakes', of mountain man McCool

resolve- of resurrecting Clarion River

of the people of the Penns woods west.
