Throughout the American Revolution, bitter battles were fought on the frontier between American settlers and Native Americans, urged on by the British and American loyalists. Nowhere was the fighting more severe or prolonged than along the Pennsylvania and New York border. This map depicts the numerous forts and Indian villages, as well as trails in the Susquehanna Valley north of Sunbury Town in northern Pennsylvania and western New York.
