Kevin Patrick

I have been exploring and writing about American landscapes for a lifetime with an emphasis on cultural landscapes, place, and the interaction between humans and the natural environment, especially in Pennsylvania where I teach Geography at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Books I have authored or co-authored include Diners of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Caves and Other Rocky Roadside Wonders, Pittsburgh and the Appalachians, Route 6 in Pennsylvania, and most recently Near Woods; A Year in an Allegheny Forest. Find me on Facebook as Kevin Patrick in Indiana, Pennsylvania, or on Instagram as Kpat4040, and nearwoods.
