On Seeing Pennsylvania

THE walking tourist will say that
Il DR.. John T. Faris's Seeing Penn
sylrania is too heavy for the KNAPP
sack. The motoring tourist may say that
it has too much text and not enough maps.
But to persons who do not know Pennsyl-
vania and who wish to learn where to sec
it at its best, or to those who have seen
it and not appreciated the historic rich
ness Of what they saw, it is valuable
work.
Instead of chapters DIR. Faris arranges
this sympathetic guide in the form of
routes-eight Of them, for he has the
motor car owner in mind. He takes him
from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, first
along the Lincoln Highway, next on the
National Road, and third by way of Read
ing, Harrisburg and the William Penn
Highway. He takes him through the
Pennsylvania Highlands, from Harris
burg to Olean. He shows the anthracite
country and the Pocono plateau, the oil
region and the Black Forest.
The author does not depend entirely
upon what he himself has seen, though it
is evident that he knows and loves the
State. He has drawn upon threeseore
books of other men for, memories Of Penn
sylvania. Perhaps your father, an oil
pioneer, has told you of seeing the IA
nous Peg Leg Railroad. DIR. Faris gives
us the accurate description of this curious
line which was written by an old SUN
correspondent, Eli Perkins:
"The ears run astride an elevated track
on single rail. This rail is nailed to a
single wooden stringer which rests on top
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-10-12

Of piles. So evenly balanced is the train
that, passing over a pond or creek at the
rate Of twenty miles an hour, the water
is hardly disturbed. The motive for build
ing is economy, the price per mile being
$1,000, and the price Of ten ton loco
motive $1,000. The locomotive is a queer
looking thing. An Irishman has COM
pared it to gigantic pair of boots swing
ing on clothes line. The boiler is with
out lue, the engine without a piston.
and the driver without crank"
DR.. Faris tells you in turn what George
Washington and Rudyard Kipling said
of Beaver county. He describes the rise
and fall of Henry Drinkers great Maple
Sap Corporation. He tells you when and
under what distressful circumstances the
last herd of bison in Pennsylvania was
wiped out and shows you where the last
elk persisted.
The reader of this work finishes it with
the knowledge that there's a good deal
more to Pennsylvania than Valley Forge,
Independence Hall and the Pittsburg fur
naces.
