Living with Snakes! Newspaper and Oral History Stories about Northwest Pennsylvania during the First Half of the 20th Century by Randy A. John . .

This book was inspired by the former residents of Corydon, Elko, Kinzua, Morrison, Onoville, Quaker Bridge, and Wolf Run who shared stories about their way of life with me before the Kinzua Dam displaced their communities in the mid-1960s. The oral histories are summarized along with newspaper accounts of encounters with rattlesnakes from 1900 to 1971. One of these articles details a rattlesnake recipe used back in the day. It ends with contemporary Rattlesnake information, State regulations and safety recommendations.
