“In Search of the Turkey Foot Road” is a fascinating read through time in our own backyards. Flavored with bits of interest in anecdotes and footnotes, and illustrated with copious maps and photos, the book is a critical analysis of primary sources that will cause you to marvel at the magnitude of information processed by Dietle and McKenzie. It will teach you amazing things about the land, events and people around you, and perhaps something about yourself. The elusive, and perhaps otherwise lost Turkey Foot Road now − with Dietle and McKenzie’s thorough research and documentation – can be known to all. The route has been identified in considerable detail using maps, property surveys, depression era high resolution aerial photography, crop marks, surviving landscape scars, local guides, and oral traditions. Assisted with GPS coordinates from the book, a dedicated hiker might set out to walk the eighteenth century route from Cumberland, Maryland to Harnedsville, Pennsylvania. Various key points between Harnedsville and Pittsburgh are also identified. |
