Huntingdon is a borough in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. It is the county seat of Huntingdon County. It is located along the Juniata River, 98 miles (158 km) west of Harrisburg, about halfway between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, in an agricultural and fruit-growing region, with valuable forests and deposits of iron, coal, fire clay, and limestone. In the past, Huntingdon had manufactures of flour, machinery, radiators, furniture, stationery, woolen goods, lumber, etc. It also was the junction of the Huntington & Broad Top Mountain RR with the Pennsylvania Railroad, and a port on the Main Line of Public Works of the Pennsylvania Canal. Huntingdon is home to Juniata College, originally founded by the Church of the Brethren in 1876. It is also the largest borough located closest to Raystown Lake. Its population was 6,918 people at the 2000 census.

Huntingdon, Pennsylvania Video

A song that tells about Peggy Ann Bradnick's ordeal which she lived out in May 1966 when she was kidnapped by a mountain man and held hostage for eight days in the Tuscarora Mountains of southern Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. This song was written by John Madara, David White, and Jimmy Wisner. I erroneously (but kind of not) referred to the mountain man as "Bicycle Pete" in the video clip. He was really known as "Bicycle Bill," but in the TV movie made about this story in 1991 he was called "Bicycle Pete," so I guess I did it because it was engrained in me. UPDATE-10/23/08-There is a brand new Peggy Ann article in this week's issue of my hometown newspaper, the Fulton County News. She was keynote speaker last weekend at the fall meeting of the Fulton County Historical Society. More than 700 were in attendance to hear her speak of her experience. Read about it here: www.fultoncountynews.com Also, try this link: www.time.com (the whole thing is a hyperlink--it may be best to copy and paste the address onto your browser) And the Carlisle, PA Sentinel newspaper website has a good article which isn't exactly new (it came out last year), but it gives new, updated information: www.cumberlink.com
