My vision is to create a world where the history of the Pennsylvania Oil Region is told accurately. This includes the many contributions of the citizens of the young City of Parker, PA to the great oil boom of the 1870s.
The FIRST EDITION of From Boom to Bust included 38 biographies of Parker's people. In this SECOND EDITION, I have included 127 biographies. I have greatly expanded the contributions of Parker's residents during wartime as well, including a story of a soldier's return through the Underground Railroad and the experience of a POW (prisoner of war)!
I started my journey into Parker's history in 2006 when I overheard someone saying they wished someone would write a book on Parker's history. And so I did! I published my First Edition in 2008. This Second Edition includes everything that was in the original publication and so much more.
I believe that books have the power to connect people and build communities. That's why I look forward to speaking engagements to discuss my books. Please contact me to schedule a presentation at your next gathering.
