ABOUT THIS DECK
I started producing playing cards back in 2013 after a visited Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts. It was at this history museum/village where I learned about how early American settlers refused to use playing cards depicting Kings and Queens. These early colonialists made their own cards with the likenesses of George Washington and other notable people of their era. When I learned this, it inspired me to start producing playing cards.
I started with a three decks called the Unrest Series. Colonial Unrest featured notable people of the American Revolution, Civil Unrest featured notable people from the American Civil War and Global Unrest featured notable people from World War II. After the Unrest Series, I did Bicycle Titanic and several local history decks throughout Pennsylvania (my home state).
Over the years, I've produced several dozen different decks of playing cards and tarot cards. Nearly all of them our based on history because I'm very passionate about learning how our ancestors lived.
This current deck, Bicycle Barclay Mountain, is a deck that is very close to my heart. Back in 2015, I named my company after Barclay Mountain. This location was once home to over 3,000 residents but today it's home to nobody. I'm creating this company and deck of cards as a way to remember those who lived and died on the mountain.
