Wasn't there peat bogs on the east coast?
Great video Paul!
YOU WILL HEAR THE TRUMPETS PLAY THEIR HAPPY SOUNDS. YOU WILL HEAR THE LAUGHTER OF THOUSANDS AS THE SKY OPENS UP. BE STILL AND FEAST.
What a fantastic video and thank you for sharing!! I just found this video and it just brings chills to my spine. I do maintenance work at Conowingo and Muddy Run Hydro Facilities and I think of these sacred grounds every time I am there!!

Lydia Hamilton Smith, a free mixed-race woman from Pennsylvania who was the housekeeper and companion of abolitionist congressman Thaddeus Stevens.
I believe that's Charlie Dressen walking with Jo-Jo Moore up the stairs at the beginning of the film.
The Pa Tpk one of my favorite highways when I truck from Indy to Baltimore, Philly, Harrisburg,etc.
Here's my experience driving through the 4 active tunnels of the I-76 Pennsylvania Turnpike: ua-cam.com/video/YbFQa5d1T80/v-deo.html
Difficult to get there that's not true along with a few things

Our former speaker was such a gracious man.

My guy pulled over on a Lancaster backroad and made a 3 min Amish “documentary”.
Great video enjoyed
I dig on the Delaware River in Salem County. I found a site. In New Jersey.
I will show you the site.
My family and I are related to Johnny Appleseed Chapman and John Dillinger too. Uncle Bob Chapman passed away 8 yrs ago.
R C Russell was my grandmothers brother
Do people from Pennsylvania actually really believe Donald Trump would do something for you like Joe Biden's doing gimme a Break your bridges falling on the day President Biden there was no accident.THE LORD GOD WAS THERE
I found some hair pipes with a broken pendant it had the same design as the gorget they showed.
Well said. Now a little honesty about the facts would surely rearrange the history already in place. Excellent start. Great piece
Great footage my Father used to tell me about the single tube tunnels
Thanks for posting this. I have heard about the PA Turnpike in the latest 40's early 50's when my Father started driving trucks and it looks like a very different word than today. How the world has changed.
dont care about kids or your feelings, tell me more about the keating site and what you found....
The old Pennsylvania Turnpike tunnels looked so dark and scary, so DAH-ARK and scaaaaaryyyyy, even with lights on.

Unlimited speed didn't last. Buy 42 speed limits everywhere were 35 mph
Thank you
So happy to see this! I lived right across the street and attended in 1960 before moving to western NY. Last time I saw this wonderful building, sadly it was empty and had fallen into disrepair. Even though I was there for a short time, I have always been drawn to North Scranton junior High School! Would love walk through those doors once again!
My late maternal grandfather Edward V. Edwards installed the radio gear on the Pennsylvania when it was overhauled and modernized at Philadelphia Navy Yard 1929-1931. A self-taught electronics expert, he had several patents and stayed with the government until retirement as a GS-14.
This is poignant, the last time Dizzy Dean ever threw his great fastball. During the game, Earl Averill of the Indians broke his toe with a line drive off of his foot. Dizzy came back too soon from it and favored it, permanently injuring his arm and cutting his career short.
I was not yet born but I love old films. Old black and white anything like old sports film and old movies and old tv shows
@3:16 - Is this the excavation site of the 2012, I-95 Dyott / Kensington Glass Works ? ( would like to have one of those flask molds for MY private collection )
Thank you!
Would love to join.
Back in 1980 I participated in a prehistoric archaeological dig at the future site of the Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River in Maryland. It was so cool! I was in highschool. We found all sorts of neat things from over 1,000 years ago.
Wonderful piece.
Unlimited speed limit. Most cars only had 3 speed manual transmissions and 2 speed automatics, geared fine for around town and back roads. At 60 mph your engine would have been overrevving....
