GALETON — Ronald Ostman and Harry Littell, authors of “Wood Hicks and Bark Peelers,” will appear for a book-signing event at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum.
The book portrays the visual history of Pennsylvania’s railroad lumbering communities and features the photographs of William T. Clarke. It was published by The Pennsylvania State University Press in collaboration with the Lumber Heritage region of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
Hitting bookstores in the last quarter of 2016, the book garnered national attention through a book review by the New York Times.
At Saturday’s event, Ostman and Littell will give a short visual presentation about the book, followed by a time for questions and discussion. Residents are invited to bring their copies of “Wood Hicks and Bark Peelers” or buy a copy at the museum’s store to be signed.
Clarke’s images from the Lumber Heritage Region of Pennsylvania’s “Wood on Glass” exhibit will be on display in the museum program room during the signing event, and light refreshments will be available.
