the forts of Pennsylvania that were erected as a defense against the Indians prior to 1783. This two-volume contain
an extensive list and history of the Pennsylvania forts and blockhouses that were erected in Pennsylvania and
used during the colonial period. Often times a fort or blockhouse was nothing more than a well built house.

Up through the early 19th century the Susquehannah river provided the principal canoe route across the
Alleghenies connecting the Susquehanna and Ohio valleys, with a portage at Cherry Tree to Blacklick
Creek, a tributary of the Conemaugh River. In the late 18th century, Cherry Tree marked the
frontier between the Pennsylvania Colony and the Shawnee and Lenape lands to the west as
specified by treaty.
The lands along the West Branch were vital hunting grounds and agricultural lands for Native Americans.
During Pennsylvania’s great lumbering era, the most significant log drive was conveyed on the West
Branch of the Susquehanna River. The Susquehanna’s West Branch Canal Division further shaped the
corridor, linking towns and villages and providing vital opportunities for commerce. Finally, railroads
in the corridor fused the links between communities and commerce within the corridor.
