'Murders & Mysterious Deaths in the Pennsylvania Wilds' is released

Well-known St. Marys author James Baumgratz has now released his most expansive page-turner yet, encompassing 12.5 counties in “Murders & Mysterious Deaths in the Pennsylvania Wilds, Volume I.”

Baumgratz has become widely known for his three volumes of “Elk County Murders,” which focus on 25 unsolved mysteries and lurking community legends in the county. Each incorporates quirky and catching chapter titles, such as “Keg Killer,” “Stop Nagging,” “Rough on Rats” and “The Pickle Barrel Murder,” to name a few.

Baumgratz has had a fascination for all things mysterious for as long as he can remember, having always been a writer. He began his research for the “Elk County Murders” books around the year 2000, spending countless hours at the courthouse compiling information on murders dating back to 1846. Some are unsolved tales of which the community has probably heard several versions over the years, whereas others are mysteries Baumgratz dug up from the grave himself.

Recently expanding his reach outside of Elk County,“McKean County Murders & Mysterious Deaths, Volume I” was Baumgratz’s fourth book.
