History of Pennsylvania

Histories and Source Documents

There is no comprehensive history of the state onsite yet; for the time being, just this:

[An engraving of a port scene, with two wooden sailing ships at dock, and in the background, two blocks or so of urban landscape, four-story gabled houses and a taller and larger building in the center, surmounted by a cross-topped lantern. The image serves as the icon on my site for Fiske's book, 'The Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America'.]

John Fiske's The Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America zzz; three chapters are exclusively given to the colonial history of Pennsylvania.

[A drawing of a group of about 20 low buildings, the tallest having three or maybe four stories, in a flat area at the foot of a range of hills, with a small river flowing in the foreground. In the center, a very tall flagpole can be made out. It is a view of Fort Necessity, Pennsylvania in the late 19c, and serves as the icon used on this site for my transcription of the National Park Service booklet 'Fort Necessity National Battlefield Site, Pennsylvania'.]

Fort Necessity National Battlefield Site, Pennsylvania, by Frederick Tilberg, is a National Park Service booklet published in 1954. It is a straightforward account of zzz, nicely illustrated with 19c photos and drawings as well as mid‑20c; and several very clear maps.

[ 44 printed pages presented in nnn webpages;
nnn photographs and nnn other images, nnn maps ]

[A rectangle with a thin border; in the center, occupying about a quarter of the space, the silhouette of a bison, fa­cing to the viewer's left, on which is a circular seal. It is the flag of the State of Pennsylvania.]

The icon I use to indicate this subsite is the flag of the State of Pennsylvania.
