This book provides information about the history and geography of the tiny village of Galloway in northwestern Pennsylvania. It includes the author’s perceptions of social and cultural aspects of life there, especially during the 1937-1965 period. Although now a village of fewer than 500 residents, it has an interesting history as one of the centers of the “oil excitement” of the late 1800 and early 1900s. While objectively describing some village history, the book also has a strong autobiographical component, with the author relating personal experiences, memories and perceptions of his early interactions with village residents, and local hunting, fishing and fire-fighting adventures.
