Re
REPORT OF THE COMMISSION TO LOCATE THE SITES OF THE
FRONTIER FORTS OF PENNSYLVANIA.
I have a Personal bootleg copy of
Volume One.
it took 2 4" Binders of over 600 11x8 1/2 sheets
to do up the entire volume in easy to read print
I talked the Library into letting me take it to a store with a
Photo Copier for a few Hours

Got my 1st library card in over 35yrs last month.
Wow, what a flash back walking into a small public library.
Checked out a book and have already been Amazing all the neighbors with my new knowledge of the area. I'm thinking, all this knowledge is sitting down in that little library next town over😉
But having this knowledge in my back pocket has done scored me 3, countum 3 new permissions. 2 not far out of town from the old long gone train depot.
