A souvenir from my #Google+ collection, "Americana", exterminated along with several other large collections.
Some survived (mostly before and after the 8 years of G+) on my own hand-made pages (fenfotos.com) and thankfully, I posted many favorites on Flickr as well.
Not this one (until now), but worth a visit if you enjoy this genre &/or time. Enjoy.

Fairies of Northern Appalachia: Cover reveal!
I’m so excited to reveal the cover for my next book, Fairies of Northern Appalachia: A History of the Little People of the Mountains, which covers fairy stories and beliefs from Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky.
I thought John Anster Fitzgerald’s painting “The Fairies’ Favourite” was the perfect cover for this book, because it captures something of the diversity and strangeness of the fairies that occupy Appalachian stories. I also like the fact that the cover seems to depict a fairy queen wearing a crown (can you find her?) because my book contains a couple of stories about “fairy queens”—from both eastern Kentucky and Pennsylvania.
Here is the cover and back cover in full:
Book overview
Join Andrew Warburton, author of New York Fairies and New England Fairies, as he explores the deep, but often overlooked, roots of fairy lore in the mist-shrouded mountains of Northern Appalachia.
The magic of Old World folklore lingers in Northern Appalachia’s hills and hollers. From banshees to tommyknockers to mischievous elves, myriad fairy spirits populate the stories of the region’s mountain folk. The Little Hunchbacked Man who dwelled in corners of Pennsylvania Dutch homes. Pixies whose knocking warned of explosions in West Virginia’s mines. A red-haired fairy whose magical arrows tormented the Scots Irish of Kentucky’s Cumberland Mountains.
In this vivid and well-researched history, Andrew Warburton gathers the region’s forgotten fairy stories―from tales about “ancient pygmies” in Ohio to a psychiatrist’s account of photographing fairies in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.The contents are as follows:
- Introduction
- 1. German Fairies: Influence of Pennsylvania Dutch folklore.
- 2. Irish Fairies: Influence of Scots-Irish settlers.
- 3. Underground Fairies: Tales of “tommyknockers” and mining spirits.
- 4. Virginia’s Fairy Stone Park: Legends behind the famous staurolite stones.
- 5. Fairies by Other Names: Regional variations of little people.
- 6. Appalachian Pygmies: Legends of ancient, small inhabitants in Ohio and throughout Appalachia.
- 7. Modern Fairy Stories: Accounts and sightings in the modern era.
- A Glossary of Northern Appalachian Fairies
- Bibliography

I don't like the way the PA Dutch Bible is written. It's hard to read. Most other publications use a more standard German spelling.

The only problem with goyishe translations of Tanakh is that I can't easily see the Torah portions. I'd like to divide the #pennsylvaniadutch Torah into portions, so I can read the parasha in my target language, but the Wycliffe translation is CC no derivatives. I can't edit it.

@libreleah Ja, das ist ein guter Weg fuer Deutsch lernen. Moses Monweal McCormick hat en Lot Sprache gelernt, und er hat das gemacht.
- Lern sich Phrasen und Woerter
- Lern sich die Grammatik
Auf wiedersehen, und redt Deutsch!
(Ja, mein Deutsch ist schlecht. Es ist ein Mischung von Jiddisch und Pennsylvanisch Deutsch.)

🧵Lebanon bologna
I like Seltzer’s sweet Lebanon bologna — and it’s widely distributed in supermarkets — but my favorite is S. Clyde Weaver’s ‘Farm-style sweet bologna’ bought sliced from a local farmer’s market.
Weaver’s also makes classic ‘Lebanon bologna’ and ‘Old fashioned sweet bologna’ — smaller diameter, denser, smokier — smoked in cloth casings. Same recipe and process since 1920.

“My quest to understand the nuances of the hyperlocal “buh-LOW-nuh” versus “baloney” distinction led me to the Palmyra smokehouses of Seltzer’s, a fourth-generation family-run business that’s been making Lebanon bologna for 123 years and is the largest producer of the lunchmeat today.”
