Excerpt from A History of the Region of Pennsylvania North of the Ohio and West of the Allegheny River, of the Indian Purchases, and of the Running of the Southern, Northern, and Western State Boundaries: Also, an Account of the Division of the Territory for Public Purposes, and of the Lands, Laws, Titles, Settlements, Controversies, and Litigation Within This Region Probably no part of Pennsylvania is more interesting in its history, settlement, titles, and protracted litigation than that portion lying north of the Ohio and west of the Allegheny River. A century having elapsed since its purchase of the Indians, and the passage of the laws regulating its appropriation and titles, few lawyers are living familiar with these subjects.
