This month’s book selection: “Speed King” by Marci McGuiness

In Speed King, the inspired-by-a-true-story novel, Southwestern Pennsylvania was the Coal Capital of the world and in Uniontown, Gideon Steele was king. His Steele Mine "Coal Patch" town sported a line of sad duplexes with shared outdoor latrines housing his miners and their downtrodden families. They scraped together meager livings, dependent on Mr. Steele's Mine and Company Store.

This is the story of an orphaned Patch Kid who became the President of the Uniontown Speedway board track after beating the 1915 Indianapolis 500 winner at the 1915 Summit Mountain Hill Climb.

All are welcome!
