I met so many people who shared their memories and stories about the Back Mountain and I found there were many rare photographs of the area that had never before been published.” The photos are of Back Moun- tain amusement parks, including Fern Brook Park in Dallas and Hanson’s Amusement Park at Harveys Lake; trolleys, railroad stations, including Bowman's Creek Branch of the Lehigh Val- ley Railroad between Trucksville and Harveys Lake; houses, schools, colleges, churches, agri- culture, steamboats on Harveys Lake and more. The photos date from the 1870s to the 1970s. One of Wick’s favorite photos in the book is that of the 1925 first-grade class at the former Trucksville Elementary School. Each photo in the book has 70 to 100 words that go along with it. Many Back Mountain families are mentioned, including the Co- nyngham, Hazeltine, Cool baugh, Ide, Major and Sordoni families. SUBMITTED PHOTO Former Dallas resident Harri- son Wick, 31, has authored a book of the Back Mountain. “Pennsylvania's Back Moun- tain” contains over 200 pho- tos of the region, including this one, a steamboat on Har- veys Lake, which is on the book's cover. “A lot of people came forward with personal stories,” Wick said. “This book tells the story of an under-represented part of Lu- zerne County’s history. This will be a great opportunity for people to see their family history in print. I want to encourage people to tell their stories.” Currently, Wick, who resides with his wife, Kimberly, is co-au- thoring “The Wyoming Valley” with Attorney F. Charles Petrillo and is also working on another book that he says “is a surprise.” Wick is scheduled to have a book signing for “Pennsylvania’s Back Mountain” from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 24, at Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Wilkes- | Barre Township.
