Just thought all you people doing geneology work on families from PA would be interested in a book I am currently reading. It caught my eye in the bookstore because it was written by Alan Eckert who wrote the Frontiersman. All you Kenton and Kinton researches probably know that book by heart...anyway, this book is called That Dark and Bloody River and tells of the settlement of the Ohio river valley. Very interesting how our families moved and settled from the PA frontier to the Ohio and Kentucky frontiers. Very insightful book with alot of researh having been done. It gives one a better understanding of what had to be endured to carve out an existance in the area that our ancestors did....excellent reading
