    Vol. II also has 627 pages, Plus an index that covers both books. It begins with

    Frontier Forts of Pennsylvania was originally commissioned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to identify
    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.
    Here is a list of just a few of the "lesser known" Pennsylvania forts and blockhouses contained within these two volumes:
    Allen, Anderson, Barr, Bayon, Beelor, Beeman, Beeson, Braybill, Brietenbach, Brown, Campbell, Carnahan, Clark, Claypoole
    , Conwell, Craig, Crawford, Crum, Deshler, Dinsmore, Doll, Elder, Enlow, Froman, Gloninger, Hendrick, Inyard, Kepple,
    Lochry, Lowrey, Manada, Marchand, Marshall, Mason, McAlevy, McCartney, McConaughy, McCormick, McDowell, Mead,
    Miller, Moorhead, Peelor, Pomeroy, Reed, Reynold, Rice, Roney, Rugh, Shields, Spark, Stokely, Swatara, Taylor,
    Thompson, Wallace, Walthour, Wilson, Woodruff, Zeller.
    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.
