Summit Station, Pennsylvania[edit]

I'm not sure what the intent was in including the link to Summit Station, Pennsylvania on the Blue Mountain article. So when I cleaned the article up, since it didn't seem to "belong" there, I went ahead and removed the reference entirely. If anyone understands why that link is there and disagrees with my removal of it, then by all means, add it back (and let me know). SchuminWeb (Talk) 21:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"The Blue Mountain" or "Blue Mountain"[edit]

I am a native to Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. I wish to comment on the name of the subject mountain. I have always heard it referred to as "The Blue Mountain." "Blue Mountain" does not sound right. When I hear that name, I think of "Blue Mountain School District" and not of the long mountain which demarks the southern boundary of Schuylkill County.

Nineteenth century historical works refer to "the Blue Mountain," for example:

Munsell's History of Schuylkill County, 1881. Sherman Day, History of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, 1843.

At least three contemporary historians refer to "the Blue Mountain."

Anthony F.C. Wallace, St. Clair: A Ninteenth-Century Coal Town's Experience with a Disaster-Prone Industry, 1987.

Kevin Kenny, Making Sense of the Molly Magires, 1998.

Leo L. Ward, A Collection of 20 Historical Musings, 1994.

I am not familiar with the common name used for the mountain outside of Schuylkill County.

Does "Blue Mountain" sound strange to other readers?"
