Notes: Posted on the Asturian-American Migration Forum website in 2003, topic "Pinnickinnick Hill - What do you know?"

I just returned from Spelter, spending a week visiting many of the areas in and around Clarksburg.
In trying to understand where PK Hill is versus PK Addition to Clarksburg, I discovered the following with the help of Jim Jack, Harrison County Sheriff.
PK Hill is the hill opposite the UCAR (formerly Union Carbide) factory in Anmoore, and the Anmoore fire department fire house sits at the base of the hill. There is a white wooden Protestant church that stills stands on that hill, off of I-79 Interstate.
PK Addition to Clarksburg is an area west of Summit Park and includes a hill with homes, warehouses and some light industrial plants. There is a street named Pinnickinnick in the PK Addition. If you like Italian style peppers, the Oliverio family has a small plant in that area on Ohio Avenue that produces (if my opinion) the best. PK Addition hill would back into North View to the west. I believe at one time there was a coal mine in that hill called PK mines. I could find the trail where the tracks once ran possibly to that mine.
I too was very confused when you have a PK Addition to Clarksburg and a PK Hill, and not in the same location. In the "Pinnick Kinnick Hill, An American Story" by G. W. Gonzalez, the PK Hill referrenced is in Anmoore.
The distance between PK Addition and PK Hill in Anmoore is several miles apart.
Hope I got it right.
