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.
