This book was written at Hollidaysburg in 1855 by U. J. Jones, a
newspaper reporter, and has stood
the test of time as being the most
interesting account of the early
settlement of the Juniata Valley*
It embraces an account of the early pioneers, the trials and privations incident to the settlement of
the Valley, pregatory incursions,
massacres, and abductions by the
Indians during the French and Indian War, and the. War Df the Revolution. A number of extensions,
including end sheet maps and a
glossary of history data has been
added by Mr. Hoenstine.
The first copy of this valuable
history to be placed in circulation
was presented to the Roaring Spring Public Schools by the publisher, and was placed in the High
School library. A letter of appreciation signed by the Supervising Principal, John A. Garber, and tiie
President of the Beard of Education, L. B. Stoudnour, has been received by Mr.  Hoenstine.
The letter reads as follows:
"We certainly appreciate receiving the first copy of U. J. Jones
'Juniata VaUey'— 1940 reprint, edited by you. We understand that
the paper used in this reprint eras
made in our local mill. This also
adds to ita value. Our achool library ia deeply indebted to' you by
receiving this gift."   -
