Book Description
Located within the western lands of Pennsylvania's vast wilderness and rolling mountains, Forest County is known for its natural beauty and industrial history. With the Allegheny National Forest dominating the locale, Forest County is the third least populated county in Pennsylvania. Being recognized as an excellent place for outdoor adventures, the county is also known for its simplicity and for not having one traffic light within its boundaries. Over time, many have come to Forest County seeking opportunity and prosperity. When the surrounding counties were experiencing an oil boom, Forest County was exploring the lumber industry and dominating the business. To the hunters and fisherman that settled in Forest County, the wilderness was a utopia ripe with panther, deer, bear, wolves, bass, salmon, trout, and pike. The area is still revered for its vast wilds, which lend themselves to various recreational activities throughout the year.

Book Description
Forrest City was once dubbed the "Jewel of the Delta" because of its prime location in the lower streams and tributaries of the Mississippi River Delta. Native Americans living in the area hundreds of years ago first spoke of the land, celebrating its fertile ground, rich resources, and pleasant climate. Shortly after the Civil War, the east-west and north-south rail lines were established, giving Forrest City railroad access to economic opportunities far beyond the county line. The tracks in and out of town brought a new generation of settlers to the area whose contributions encouraged the town and county to flourish during the height of rail travel. The history of St. Francis County lives on in myriad ways today, including the blues music born from the Mississippi River Delta, the stories of the area's famous cotton trade, and in the tales passed from one generation to another.
