Common trees of Pennsylvania
by Joseph E. Ibberson, J. E. Aughenbaugh, A. B. Mickalitis, C. L. Morris
About the author
J. E. Aughenbaugh is credited as one of the co-authors of Common Trees of Pennsylvania, an educational guide produced with Joseph E. Ibberson, A. B. Mickalitis, and C. L. Morris. The book focuses on helping readers recognize important Pennsylvania tree species through features such as leaves, twigs, and bark.
Reliable biographical detail about Aughenbaugh is limited in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to view this author through that contribution. The surviving record points to a practical, field-guide style of writing centered on forestry education rather than a widely documented public literary career.
Because confirmed personal background information appears scarce, details such as birth, death, or a fuller life history are not included here. What can be said with confidence is that Aughenbaugh’s name remains connected with a useful regional nature book that introduced generations of readers to the common trees of Pennsylvania.
