LOCATION, SIZE, AND EXTENT

Located in the northeastern United States, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the second-largest of the three Middle Atlantic states and ranks 33rd in size among the 50 states.

The total area of Pennsylvania is 45,308 sq mi (117,348 sq km), of which land occupies 44,888 sq mi (116,260 sq km) and inland water 420 sq mi (1,088 sq km). The state extends 307 mi (494 km) e-w and 169 mi (272 km) n-s. Pennsylvania is rectangular in shape, except for an irregular side on the e and a break in the even boundary in the nw where the line extends n-e for about 50 mi (80 km) along the shore of Lake Erie.

Pennsylvania is bordered on the n by New York; on the e by New York and New Jersey (with the Delaware River forming the entire boundary); on the se by Delaware; on the s by Maryland and West Virginia (demarcated by the Mason-Dixon line); on the w by West Virginia and Ohio; and on the nw by Lake Erie. The total boundary length of Pennsylvania is 880 mi (1,416 km). The state's geographical center lies in Centre County, 2.5 mi (4 km) sw of Bellefonte.

TOPOGRAPHY

Pennsylvania may be divided into more than a dozen distinct physiographic regions, most of which extend in curved bands from east to south. Beginning in the southeast, the first region (including Philadelphia) is a narrow belt of coastal plain along the lower Delaware River; this area, at sea level, is the state's lowest region. The next belt, dominating the southeastern corner, is the Piedmont Plateau, a wide area of rolling hills and lowlands. The Great Valley, approximately 10-15 mi (16-24 km) in width, runs from the middle of the state's eastern border to the middle of its southern border. The eastern, central, and western parts of the Great Valley are known as the Lehigh, Lebanon, and Cumberland valleys, respectively. West and north of the Great Valley, the Pocono Plateau rises to about 2,200 ft (700 m). Next, in a band 50-60 mi (80-100 km) wide, most of the way from the north-central part of the eastern border to the west-central part of the southern border are the Appalachian Mountains, a distinctive region of parallel ridges and valleys.

The Allegheny High Plateau, part of the Appalachian Plateaus, makes up the western and northern parts of the state. The Allegheny Front, the escarpment along the eastern edge of the plateau, is the most striking topographical feature in Pennsylvania, dissected by many winding streams to form narrow, steep-sided valleys; the southwestern extension of the Allegheny High Plateau contains the state's highest peak, Mt. Davis, at 3,213 ft (980 m). A narrow lowland region, the Erie Plain, borders Lake Erie in the extreme northwestern part of the state. The mean elevation of the state is approximately 1,100 ft (336 m).

According to federal sources, Pennsylvania has jurisdiction over 735 sq mi (1,904 sq km) of Lake Erie; the state government gives a figure of 891 sq mi (2,308 sq km). Pennsylvania contains about 250 natural lakes larger than 20 acres (8 hectares), most of them in the glaciated regions of the northeast and northwest. The largest natural lake within the state's borders is Conneaut Lake, about 30 mi (48 km) south of the city of Erie, with an area of less than 1.5 sq mi (39 sq km); the largest manmade lake is Lake Wallenpaupack, in the Poconos, occupying about 9 sq mi (23 sq km). Pennsylvania claims more than 21 sq mi (54 sq km) of the Pymatuning Reservoir on the Ohio border.

The Susquehanna River and its tributaries drain more than 46% of the area of Pennsylvania, much of it in the Appalachian Mountains. The Delaware River forms Pennsylvania's eastern border and, like the Susquehanna, flows southeastward to the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the western part of the state is drained by the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, which join at Pittsburgh to form the Ohio. The Beaver, Clarion, and Youghiogheny rivers are also important parts of this system.

During early geological history, the topography of Pennsylvania had the reverse of its present configurations, with mountains in the southeast and a large inland sea covering the rest of the state. This sea, which alternately expanded and contracted, interwove layers of vegetation (which later became coal) with layers of sandstone and shale.

CLIMATE

Although Pennsylvania lies entirely within the humid continental zone, its climate varies according to region and elevation. The regions with the warmest temperatures and the longest growing seasons are the low-lying southwest Ohio valley and the Monongahela valley in the southeast. The region bordering Lake Erie also has a long growing season, as the moderating effect of the lake prevents early spring and late autumn frosts. The first two areas have hot summers, while the Erie area is more moderate. The rest of the state, at higher elevations, has cold winters and cool summers.

Among the major population centers, Philadelphia has an annual average temperature of 55°f (12°c), with a normal minimum of 46°f (7°c) and a normal maximum of 64°f (17°c). Pittsburgh has an annual average of 51°f (10°c), with a minimum of 41°f (5°c) and a maximum of 60°f (15°c). In the cooler northern areas, Scranton has a normal annual average ranging from 40°f (4°c) to 59°f (15°c); Erie, from 41°f (5°c) to 57°f (13°c). The record low temperature for the state is 42°f (41°c), set at Smethport on 5 January 1904; the record high, 111°f (44°c), was reached at Phoenixville on 10 July 1936.

Philadelphia has about 40.9 in (103 cm) of precipitation annually, and Pittsburgh has 37 in (93 cm). Pittsburgh, however, has much more snow43.1 in (109 cm), compared with 21 in (52 cm) for Philadelphia. The snowfall in Erie, in the snow belt, averages 85.5 in (217 cm) per year, with heavy snows sometimes experienced late in April. In Philadelphia, the sun shines an average of 56% of the time; in Pittsburgh, 45%.

The state has experienced several destructive floods. On 31 May 1889, the South Fork Dam near Johnstown broke after a heavy rainfall, and its rampaging waters killed 2,200 people and devastated the entire city in less than 10 minutes. On 19-20 July 1977, Johnstown experienced another flood, resulting in 68 deaths. Three tornadoes raked the southwestern part of the commonwealth on 23 June 1944, killing 45 persons and injuring another 362. Rains from Hurricane Agnes in June 1972 resulted in floods that caused 48 deaths and more than $1.2 billion worth of property damage in the Susquehanna Valley.

FLORA AND FAUNA

Maple, walnut, poplar, oak, pine, ash, beech, and linden trees fill Pennsylvania's extensive forests, along with sassafras, sycamore, weeping willow, and balsam fir (Abies fraseri). Red pine and paper birch are found in the north while the sweet gum is dominant in the extreme southwest. Mountain laurel (the state flower), June-berry, dotted hawthorn, New Jersey tea, and various dogwoods are among the shrubs and small trees found in most parts of the state, and dewberry, wintergreen, wild columbine, and wild ginger are also common. In April 2006, the small whorled pogonia and Virginia spirea were classified as threatened, with the northeastern bulrush as endangered.

Numerous mammals persist in Pennsylvania, among them the white-tailed deer (the state animal), black bear, red and gray foxes, opossum, raccoon, muskrat, mink, snowshoe hare, common cottontail, and red, gray, fox, and flying squirrels. Native amphibians include the hellbender, Fowler's toad, and the tree, cricket, and true frogs; among reptilian species are the five-lined and black skinks and five varieties of lizard. The ruffed grouse, a common game species, is the official state bird; other game birds are the wood dove, ring-necked pheasant, bobwhite quail, and mallard and black ducks. The robin, cardinal, English sparrow, red-eyed vireo, cedar waxwing, tufted titmouse, yellow-shafted flicker, barn swallow, blue jay, and killdeer are common non-game birds. More than 170 types of fish have been identified in Pennsylvania, with brown and brook trout, grass pickerel, bigeye chub, pirate perch, and white bass among the common native varieties.

In 1978, the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the US Fish and Wildlife Service signed a cooperative agreement under which the federal government provides two dollars for each dollar spent by the state to determine the status of and improve conditions for threatened or endangered species. On the threatened or endangered list in April 2006 were 12 animal species (vertebrates and invertebrates), including the Indiana bat, bald eagle, orangefoot pimpleback pearly mussel, dwarf wedgemussel, and pink mucket pearly mussel.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Pennsylvania's environment was ravaged by uncontrolled timber cutting in the 19th century, and by extensive coal mining and industrial development until recent times. Pittsburgh's most famous landmarks were its smokestacks, and it was said that silverware on ships entering the port of Philadelphia would tarnish immediately from the fumes of the Delaware River. The anthracite-mining regions were filled with huge, hideous culm piles, and the bituminous and anthracite fields were torn up by strip-mining.

In 1895, Pennsylvania appointed its first commissioner of forestry, in an attempt to repair some of the earlier damage. Gifford Pinchot, who twice served as governor of Pennsylvania, was the first professionally trained forester in the United States (he studied at the École National Forestiere in Paris), developed the US Forest Service, and served as Pennsylvania forest commissioner from 1920 to 1922. In 1955, the state forests were put under scientific management.

In 1972, Pennsylvania voters ratified a state constitutional amendment adopted 18 May 1971, acknowledging the people's "right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic, and esthetic values of the environment" and naming the state as trustee of these resources. Passage of the amendment came only two years after establishment of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources, which in the 1990s was reorganized into two separate entities. The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) was established on 1 July 1995 to maintain and preserve the state's 116 state parks, manage the 2.1 million acres of state forest land, and provide information on the state's ecological and geologic resources. The DCNR also oversees environmental education and provides assistance and grants for preserving rivers, community trails, parks, and recreation. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) was established to protect the state's air, land, and water from pollution and to provide a cleaner environment for the health and safety of Pennsylvania's citizens.

In March 1979, Pennsylvania suffered the worst nuclear-power accident in US history when a nuclear reactor on Three Mile Island malfunctioned and radioactive gases escaped. A second reactor was shut down immediately even though it was not damaged. The cleanup of radioactive waste cost about $1 billion, and it was not until late 1985 that the undamaged unit was placed back in operation.

An oil spill at Marcus Hook, near the Delaware Border, released 435,000 gallons of crude oil into the Delaware River in September 1985; damage to birds and wetlands was more extensive in Delaware than in Pennsylvania. In 1996, there were 404,000 acres (163,492 hectares) of wetlands in the state. There are about 50 private conservancy groups that work with the state to protect these lands.

As of the early 1990s, sewage and industrial wastes were the major pollutants in areas with high industrial and population concentrations. In western and parts of central Pennsylvania, drainage from abandoned bituminous coal mines created serious water quality problems; active mines in this region were also potentially polluting. A similar situation prevailed in the anthracite areas of northeastern Pennsylvania. Oil and gas well operations, located

primarily in the northwestern portion of the commonwealth, were additional pollution sources. In 2003, 166.9 million lb of toxic chemicals were released in the state.

After miners were trapped (and subsequently successfully rescued) in an accident at Quecreek Mine in July 2002, the DEP launched a program to build a database of abandoned mine locations to minimize the risk of another such accident occurring.

In 2003, Pennsylvania had 572 hazardous waste sites listed in the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA) database. In 2006, Pennsylvania ranked second in the nation (following New Jersey) for the highest number of hazardous waste sites on the National Priorities List, with 94 sites; these included the Rodale Manufacturing Co. Westinghouse Electric Corp. (Sharon), and Saegertown Industrial Area. At least 26 sites have been deleted from the list in past years. In 2005, the EPA spent over $14 million through the Superfund program for the cleanup of hazardous waste sites in the state. In 2004, the state received a federal EPA grant of $52.5 million for the clean water state revolving fund.

POPULATION

Pennsylvania ranked sixth in population in the United States with an estimated total of 12,429,616 in 2005, an increase of 1.2% since 2000. Between 1990 and 2000, Pennsylvania's population grew from 11,881,643 to 12,281,054, an increase of 3.4%. The population is projected to reach 12.7 million by 2015 and 12.8 million by 2025. In 2004, the median age for Pennsylvanians was 39.3. In the same year, 22.9% of the populace was under age 18 while 15.3% was age 65 or older. The population density in 2004 was 276.9 persons per sq mi.

As recently as 1940, Pennsylvania was the second most populous state in the United States. By the 1980 census, however, the state had slipped to fourth place, with a population of 11,863,895; it dropped to fifth place in 1990 with a population of 11,881,643.

The largest city in the state, Philadelphia, was the fifth-largest US city as of 2004, with a population of 1,470,151. Philadelphia's population has declined since 1970, when 1,949,996 people lived there. The population of the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington metropolitan area was estimated 5,800,614 in 2004. Pittsburgh's population declined from 616,806 in 1950 to an estimated 322,450 in 2004 in the city proper. In 2004, the Pittsburgh metropolitan area had an estimated population of 2,401,575. The 2004 estimated populations of Pennsylvania's other major cities were Allentown, 106,732, and Erie, 103,925. Other cities with large populations include Reading, Scranton, Bethlehem, Lancaster, Harrisburg, Altoona, and Wilkes-Barre.

ETHNIC GROUPS

During the colonial period, under the religious tolerance of a Quaker government, Pennsylvania was a haven for dissident sectarians from continental Europe and the British Isles. Some German sectarians, including the Amish, have kept up their traditions to this day. An initially friendly policy toward the Indians waned in the late 18th century under the pressures of population growth and the anxieties of the French and Indian War. The famous Carlisle Indian School (18791918) educated many leaders from various tribes throughout the United States. In Pennsylvania itself, however, there were only 18,348 American Indians in 2000, up from 15,000 in 1990. In 2004, American Indians accounted for 0.2% of the population.

Modest numbers of black slaves were utilized as domestics, field workers, and iron miners in colonial Pennsylvania. Antislavery sentiment was stirred in the 18th century through the efforts of a Quaker, John Woolman, and other Pennsylvanians. The Gradual Abolition of Slavery Act was passed in 1780, and the important antislavery newspaper The Liberator appeared in Philadelphia in 1831. As of 2000, black Americans numbered 1,224,612 (10% of the total state population), and were concentrated in the large cities. Philadelphia was 43.2% black in 2000, with 655,824 African American residents. In 2004, 10.5% of the state's population was black.

The late 19th and early 20th centuries brought waves of immigrants from Ireland, Wales, various Slavic nations, and the eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans. Many of the new immigrants settled in the east-central anthracite coal-mining region. In 2000, 508,291 Pennsylvania residents, or 4.1% of the total population, were foreign born, up from 3.1% in 1990. Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, India, the former Soviet Union, Korea, and Poland were the leading countries of origin. In the valleys surrounding Pittsburgh there are still self-contained ethnic enclaves, and there has been increased interest in preserving distinctive ethnic traditions.

Hispanics and Latinos in Pennsylvania numbered 394,088 in 2000 (3.2%), up from 232,000 in 1990. Most were Puerto Ricans, with smaller numbers of Cubans and Central Americans. In 2004, 3.8% of the population was of Hispanic or Latino origin. In 2000, Asians numbered 219,813; the Asian population included 50,650 Chinese (almost double the 1990 total of 25,908), 31,612 Koreans, 57,241 Asian Indians (almost triple the 1990 figure of 19,769), 14,506 Filipinos, and 30,037 Vietnamese, up sharply from 14,126 in 1990. Pacific Islanders numbered 3,417. In 2004, Asians accounted for 2.2% of the population. That year, 0.9% of the population reported origin of two or more races.

LANGUAGES

Once home to several Algonkian tribes, Pennsylvania still has such Algonkian place-names as Punxsutawney, Aliquippa, Pocono, Towanda, Susquehanna, and Shamokin. An Iroquoian tribe gave its name to the Conestoga region. The word came to identify first the pioneers' covered wagons manufactured in the area and then, in shortened form, a cheap cigar called a stogie.

Although not quite homogeneous, Pennsylvania's North Midland dialect is significant as the source of much Midwestern and western speech. The only non-Midland sector is the northern tier of counties, settled from southern New York State, where features of the northern dialect predominate.

On the whole, Pennsylvania North Midland is distinguished by the presence of want off a tram or bus, snake feeder (dragonfly), run (small stream), waterspouts and spouts (gutters), and creek as /krik/. With these features are found others that commonly occur in Southern Pennsylvania, such as corn pone, roasting ears, and spiket (spigot). Western Pennsylvania, however, contrasts with the eastern half by the dominance of /nawthing/ for nothing, /greezy/ for greasy, /kao/ for cow, sugar tree (sugar maple), hap (quilt), and clothes press (closet), as well as by the influential merging of the /ah/ vowel and the /aw/ vowel so that cot and caught sound alike. Southern Pennsylvania has flannel cakes for pancakes and ground hackie for chipmunk. Within this region, Philadelphia and its suburbs have distinctive baby coach for baby carriage, pavement for sidewalk, hoagie for a large sandwich, the vowel of put in broom and Cooper, and the vowel of father in on and fog. In the east and northeast, a doughnut is a cruller, one is sick in the stomach, and syrup has the vowel of sit.

In much of central Pennsylvania, descendants of the colonial Palatinate German population retain their speech as Deutsch, often misnamed Pennsylvania Dutch, which has influenced English in the state through such loanwords as toot (bag), rainworm (earthworm), snits (dried apples), and smearcase (cottage cheese).

RELIGIONS

With a long history of toleration, Pennsylvania has been a haven for numerous religious groups. The first European settlers were Swedish Lutherans; German Lutherans began arriving 1703. William Penn brought the Quakers to Pennsylvania during the 1680s and the climate of religious liberty soon attracted other dissident groups, including German Mennonites, Dunkars, Moravians, and Schwenkfelders; French Huguenots; Scots-Irish Presbyterians; and English Baptists. Descendants of the 16th-century Anabaptists, the Mennonites for the most part settled as farmers; they and the Quakers were the first religious groups openly to advocate abolition of slavery and to help runaway slaves to freedom via the Underground Railroad. The Amish-Mennonite followers of Jacob Amman continue to dress in black clothing, shun the use of mechanized tools, automobiles and electrical appliance, and observe Sundays by singing 16th-century hymns.

The Presbyterians, who built their first church in the state in 1704, played a major role both in the establishment of schools in the colony and in the later development of Pittsburgh and other cities in the western part of the state. Methodists held their first services in Philadelphia in 1768; for many years thereafter, Methodist circuit riders proselytized throughout the state.

Immigration during the 19th century brought a major change in patterns of worship. The Quakers gradually diminished in number and influence, while Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches and Jewish synagogues opened in many of the mining and manufacturing centers. The bulk of the Jewish migration came, after 1848, from Germany and, after 1882, from East Europe and Russia. The Gilded Age saw the founding of a new group in Pittsburgh by clergyman Charles Taze Russell; first called the Russellites, members of this group (established in 1872) are known today as Jehovah's Witnesses.

Roman Catholics constitute the largest religious group in the state, with a total membership of about 3,686,088 in 2004, with about 1,486,058 belonging to the archdiocese of Philadelphia. The largest Protestant denomination in 2000 was the United Methodist Church, with 659,350 adherents; however, membership in 2004 was reported at about 471,311. Other major Protestant groups (with 2000 membership data) were the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, 611,913; the Presbyterian Church USA, 324,714; the American Baptist Church USA, 132,858; and the Episcopal Church, 116,511. The historically important Mennonites, of various traditions, had over 68,000 adherents in 2000. Amish communities had over 25,000 members and Moravians numbered over 10,000. Friends USA (Quakers) reported a membership of about 11,844. Jewish congregations included an estimated 283,000 members and the Muslim congregations had about 71,190 adherents. About 5.1 million people (42.1% of the population) were not counted as members of any religious organization. In 2005, the United Church of Christ reported about 182,779 members statewide.

The American Council of Christian Churches maintains executive offices in Bethlehem. The Mennonite Central Committee, a relief organization, is based in Akron. The Moravian Historical Society can be found in Nazareth,

TRANSPORTATION

Like so many of its industrial assets, Pennsylvania's well-developed road and rail networks are showing signs of old age. Nevertheless, the state remains an important center of transportation, and its ports are among the busiest in the United States.

The early years of railroad building left Pennsylvania with more miles of track than any other state. The first railroad charter, issued in 1819, provided for a horse-drawn railroad from the Delaware Valley to the headwaters of the Lehigh River. The state authorized construction of a line between Columbia and Philadelphia in 1828, and partial service began four years later as part of the State Works. The roadbed was state-owned, and private rail car companies paid a toll to use the rails. During this time, Pennsylvanians John Jervis and Joseph Harrison were developing steam-powered locomotives. Taking advantage of the new technology were separate rail lines connecting Philadelphia with Germantown (1834), Trenton, New Jersey (1838), and Reading (1839), with the Lehigh Valley (1846), and with New York City (1855). In December 1852, the Pennsylvania Central completed lines connecting Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Five years later, the Pennsylvania Railroad purchased the State Works, eliminating state competition and tolls. By 1880, the company (which had added many smaller coal hauling lines to its holdings) was the world's largest corporation, with more than 30,000 employees and $400 million in capital. Although railroad revenues declined with the rise of the automobile, the Pennsylvania Railroad remained profitable until the 1960s, when the line merged with the New York Central to form the Penn Central. In 1970, the Penn Central separated its real estate holdings from its transportation operation, on which it declared bankruptcy.

As of 2003, the state had 6,942 rail mi (11,176 km) of track, of which 3,566 mi (5,741 km) were operated by the two Class I railroads serving the state: CSX Transportation and the Norfolk Southern. Overall that same year, Pennsylvania was served by 60 railroads, more than any other state. Coal was the top commodity by tonnage, carried by rail originating and terminating within the state. As of 2006, Amtrak operated passenger service through Pennsylvania to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and other cities along the east-west route, and from Philadelphia to New York and Washington, DC, along the northeast corridor.

Mass transit systems exist in metropolitan Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties, and in Altoona, Allentown, Erie, Harrisburg. Johnstown, Lancaster, Reading, Scranton, State College, and Wilkes-Barre. The Philadelphia Rapid Transit System, the state's first subway, was established in 1902 and is operated by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, (SEPTA), which also runs buses, trolleys, trackless trolleys, and commuter trains in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. In 1985, a 1.1-mile (1.8-km) subway was opened in Pittsburgh as part of a 10.5-mile (16.9-km) light-rail (trolley) transit system linking downtown Pittsburgh with the South Hills section of the city.

Throughout its history, Pennsylvania has been a pioneer in road transportation. One of the earliest roads in the colonies was a "king's highway," connecting Philadelphia to Delaware in 1677; a "queen's road" from Philadelphia to Chester opened in 1706. A flurry of road building connected Philadelphia with other eastern Pennsylvania communities between 1705 and 1735. The first interior artery, the Great Conestoga Road, was opened in 1741 and linked Philadelphia with Lancaster. Indian trails in western Pennsylvania were developed into roadways, and a thoroughfare to Pittsburgh was completed in 1758. During the mid-1700s, a Lancaster County artisan developed an improved wagon for transporting goods across the Alleghenies. Called a Conestoga wagon after the region from which it came, this vehicle later became the prime means of transport for westward pioneers. Another major improvement in land transportation came with the opening in 1792 of the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike, one of the first stone-surfaced roads in the United States. The steel-cable suspension bridge built by John Roebling over the Monongahela River at Pittsburgh in 1846 revolutionized bridge building, leading to the construction of spans longer and wider than had previously been thought possible. During the 1920s, Pennsylvania farmers were aided by the building of inexpensive rural roads connecting them with their markets.

A major development in automotive transport, the limited-access highway came to fruition with the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which opened in 1940 and was the first high-speed, multilane highway in the United States. In 2004, Pennsylvania had 120,623 mi (194,203 km) of public roads. Besides the Turnpike, the major highways are I-80 (Keystone Shortway), crossing the state from East Stroudsburg to the Ohio Turnpike; I-81, from the New York to the Maryland border via Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Harrisburg; and I-79, from Erie to the West Virginia border via Pittsburgh. As of 2004, there were some 9.989 million motor vehicles registered, including around 5.593 million automobiles, about 3.716 million trucks of all types, and some 29,000 buses. In that same year, there were a total of 8,430,142 licensed drivers in the state.

Blessed with access to the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes and with such navigable waterways as the Delaware, Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio rivers, Pennsylvania was an early leader in water transportation, and Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Erie all developed as major ports. The peak period of canal building came during the 1820s and 1830s, which saw the completion of the Main Line of Public Works, used to transport goods between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh from 1834 to 1854. This system used waterways and a spectacular portage railroad that climbed over and cut through, via a tunnel, the Allegheny Mountains. Monumental as it was, the undertaking was largely a failure. Built too late to challenge the Erie Canal's domination of east-west trade, the Main Line was soon made obsolete by the railroads, as was the rest of the state's 800-mi (1,300-km) canal system.

Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Erie are the state's major shipping ports. The Philadelphia Harbor (including ports in the Philadelphia metropolitan area) handled 35.219 million tons of cargo in 2004. Although no longer the dominant gateway to the Mississippi, Pittsburgh is still a major inland port, and handled 41.034 million tons of cargo that year, while Erie, the state's port on the Great Lakes, handled 1.099 million tons of cargo. In 2003, water-borne shipments totaled 104.404 million tons. In 2004, Pennsylvania had 259 mi (416 km) of navigable inland waterways.

In 2005, Pennsylvania had a total of 810 public and private-use aviation-related facilities. This included 468 airports, 329 heliports, three STOLports (Short Take-Off and Landing), and 10 seaplane bases. The busiest air terminal in the state is Philadelphia International Airport, with 13,824,332 passenger enplanements in 2004, followed by Pittsburgh International Airport with 6,606,117 enplanements in that same year, making them the 17th- and 32nd-busiest airports in the United States, respectively.

HISTORY

Soon after the glacier receded from what is now Pennsylvania, about 20,000 years ago, nomadic hunters from the west moved up the Ohio River, penetrated the passes through the Allegheny Mountains, and moved down the Susquehanna and Delaware rivers. By about ad 500, the earliest Indians, already accustomed to fishing and gathering nuts, seeds, fruit, and roots, were beginning to cultivate the soil, make pottery, and build burial mounds. Over the next thousand years, the Indians became semisedentary, or only seasonal, nomads.

Woodland Indians living in Pennsylvania, mostly of the Algonkian language family, were less inclined toward agriculture than other Indian tribes. The first Europeans to sail up the Delaware River found the Leni-Lenape ("original people"), who, as their name signified, had long occupied that valley, and whom the English later called the Delaware. Other Algonkian tribes related to the Leni-Lenape were the Nanticoke, who ranged along the Susquehanna River, and the Shawnee, who were scattered throughout central Pennsylvania. The other major Indian language group in Pennsylvania was Iroquoian. This group included the Susquehanna (Conestoga), living east of the Susquehanna River and south to the shores of Chesapeake Bay; the Wyandot, along the Allegheny River; and the Erie, south of Lake Erie. Proving that tribes related by language could be deadly enemies, the Iroquoian Confederacy of the Five Nations, located in what is now New York, destroyed the Iroquoian-speaking Erie in the 1640s and the Susquehanna by 1680. The confederacy conquered the Leni-Lenape by 1720 but failed to destroy them.

The first European to reach Pennsylvania was probably Cornelis Jacobssen, who in 1614 entered Delaware Bay for Dutch merchants interested in the fur trade. In 1638, the Swedes began planting farms along the Delaware River; they lived in peace with the Leni-Lenape and Susquehanna, with whom they traded for furs. Under Governor Johan Printz, the Swedes expanded into present-day Pennsylvania with a post at Tinicum Island (1643) and several forts along the Schuylkill River. The Dutch conquered New Sweden in 1655, but surrendered the land in 1664 to the English, led by James, Duke of York, the brother of King Charles II and the future King James II.

The English conquest was financed partly by Admiral William Penn, whose son, also named William, subsequently joined the Society of Friends (Quakers), a radical Protestant sect persecuted for espousing equality and pacifism. Dreaming of an ideal commonwealth that would be a refuge for all persecuted peoples, Penn asked Charles II, who had not paid the debt owed to Penn's father, to grant him land west of the Delaware. The Duke of York willingly gave up his claim to that land, and Charles II granted it in 1681 as a proprietary colony to the younger Penn and named it Pennsylvania in honor of Penn's father.

As proprietor of Pennsylvania, Penn was given enormous power to make laws and wars (subject to approval by the king and the freeman of Pennsylvania), levy taxes, coin money, regulate commerce, sell land, appoint officials, administer justice, and construct a government. From the beginning, Penn virtually gave up his lawmaking power and granted suffrage to property holders of 50 acres or £50. Even before coming to Pennsylvania, he forged his first Frame of Government, a document that went into effect on 25 April 1682 but lasted less than a year. Under it, a 72-member council, presided over by a governor, monopolized executive, legislative, and judicial power, although a 200-member assembly could veto or amend the council's legislation. Arriving in the colony in October 1682, Penn approved the location and layout of Philadelphia, met with the Leni-Lenape to acquire land and exchange vows of peace, called for elections to select an assembly, and proposed a Great Law that ranged from prescribing weights and measures to guaranteeing fundamental liberties.

When the First Frame proved unwieldy, Penn on 2 April 1683 approved a Second Frame, which created an 18-member council and a 36-member assembly. A conspicuous friend of the deposed James II, Penn lost control of Pennsylvania from 1692 to 1694, and it was during this period that the legislature began to assert its rights. Penn returned to the colony in 1699, and on 28 October 1701 approved yet another constitution, called the Charter of Privileges. This document lodged legislative power in an annually elected unicameral assembly, executive power in a governor and council, which he now appointed, and judicial power in appointed provincial judges and an elected county judiciary. The Charter of Privileges remained in force until 1776.

As Pennsylvania's government evolved, its population grew steadily. Most of the first immigrants were from the British Isles and Germany. From 1681 to 1710, numerous English and Welsh Quaker migrants populated a 25-mi (40-km) zone surrounding Philadelphia. By 1750, most German immigrants were settled in a semicircular zone some 25-75 mi (40-120 km) from Philadelphia. A third and outermost ring, extending roughly 75 mi (120 km) west and north of the Germans, was populated beginning in 1717 by the Scots-Irish, who were indifferent farmers, but known as aggressive pioneers. By 1776, each of the major groupswhich remained quite distinctconstituted roughly a third of the 300,000 Pennsylvanians. Minorities included about 10,000 Scots, 10,000 Irish Catholics, 8,000 French Huguenots, 8,000 black slaves (despite Quaker hostility to slavery), and 1,000 Jews.

A key issue during the pre-Revolutionary period was the size and extent of the colony. Conflicting colonial charters, reflecting vague English ideas of American geography, brought all of Pennsylvania's boundaries except the Delaware River into dispute. After a protracted struggle, Pennsylvania and Maryland agreed upon a basis for Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon to run the famous line (176367) that divided North and South. Although Virginia and Pennsylvania both claimed the area around Pittsburgh, a joint commission agreed in 1779 to extend the Mason-Dixon line west the full five degrees prescribed in Penn's original charter. Five years earlier, the Penn family had abandoned to New York land north of the 42d parallel. This was confirmed as Pennsylvania's northern border in 1782, when the US Congress rejected Connecticut's claim to the Wyoming Valley area, where skirmishes (called the Yankee-Pennamite wars) had been going on since the 1760s.

Pennsylvania moved rapidly toward independence after the British victory in the French and Indian War. The Proclamation of 1763, preventing settlement west of the Alleghenies, outraged western Pennsylvania, while the Stamp Act (1765), Townshend Acts (1767), and Tea Act (1773) incensed Philadelphians. Although the Continental Congress began meeting in Philadelphia in September 1774, Pennsylvania revolted reluctantly. In July 1776, only three Pennsylvania delegates to the Second Continental Congress voted for independence, while two were opposed and two absented themselves from the vote. Nevertheless, the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed from Independence Hall, Pennsylvania's State House, on 4 July 1776. As the headquarters of the Congress, Philadelphia was an important British target. The American defeat at the Battle of Brandywine Creek on 11 September 1777 led to the British occupation of the city. The provisional capital was moved first to Lancaster and then to York, where the Articles of Confederation were drafted. Following battles at Germantown and Whitemarsh, General George Washington set up winter headquarters at Valley Forge, remaining there from December 1777 to June 1778. Faced with the threat of French naval power intervening on behalf of the Americans, the British evacuated Philadelphia during the spring of 1778, and Congress reconvened there on 2 July. Philadelphia would serve as the US capital until 1783, and again from 1790 to 1800.

With independence, Pennsylvania adopted the state constitution of 1776, which established a powerful unicameral assembly elected annually by all freemen supporting the Revolution, a weak administrative supreme executive council (with a figurehead president), an appointed judiciary, and a council of censors meeting every seven years in order to take a census, reapportion the assembly, and review the constitutionality of state actions. In 1780, Pennsylvania passed the first state law abolishing slavery. Seven years later, Pennsylvania became the second state to ratify the US Constitution and join the Union. In 1790, Pennsylvania adopted a new constitution, modeled on the federal one, allowing all tax-paying males to vote. This document provided for a powerful governor, elected for a three-year term and eligible to succeed himself twice, a bicameral legislature (with senators elected every four years and a house elected annually), and an appointed judiciary.

Opposition to national taxes was evidenced by two disturbances in the 1790s. In 1794, western Pennsylvania settlers, opposed to a federal excise tax on distilled spirits, waged the Whiskey Rebellion. The insurrection was soon quashed by state troops under federal command. The levying of a federal property tax inspired the unsuccessful Fries Rebellion (1799) among Pennsylvania Germans.

By 1800, the first stages of industrialization were at hand. Pittsburgh's first iron furnace was built in 1792, and the increasing use of coal as fuel made its mining commercially feasible. The completion of the Main Line of Public Works, a canal and rail system connecting Philadelphia with Pittsburgh, was a major development of the early 19th century, which was otherwise a period of political turmoil and shifting party alliances.

By 1838, Pennsylvania adopted a new constitution curtailing the governor's power (he could serve only two three-year terms in a nine-year period), making many judgeships elective for specific terms, restricting the charter of banks, and disenfranchising black people. The 1840s saw not only an influx of Irish immigrants but also the rise of the Native American (Know-Nothing) Party, an anti-Catholic movement. The antislavery crusade, which gave birth to the Republican Party, influenced state politics during the following decade.

Although a Pennsylvania Democrat, James Buchanan, carried the state and won the presidency in 1856, the Republicans captured Pennsylvania for Abraham Lincoln in 1860, partly by their strong support for a protective tariff. Protectionism attracted Pennsylvania because, in addition to its enormously productive farms, it was heavily industrialized, leading the nation in the production of iron, lumber, textiles, and leather.

Pennsylvania rallied to the Union cause, supplying some 338,000 men, a figure exceeded only by New York. The state was the scene of the Battle of Gettysburg (1-3 July 1863), a turning point in the war for the Union cause. Under General George Gordon Meade, the Union troops (one-third of whom were Pennsylvanians) defeated Confederate forces under General Robert E. Lee, who was then forced to lead a retreat to Virginia.

The Civil War left the Republican Party dominant in Pennsylvania, but, in the postwar years, the Republicans were themselves dominated by industry, particularly the Pennsylvania Railroad. Between 1890 and 1900, the state was the nation's chief producer of coal, iron, and steel, and for much of that period the main source of petroleum and lumber. Farmers' sons and daughters joined immigrants from abroad in flocking to the anthracite and bituminous coal regions and to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and other urban centers to work in mines, mills, and factories. As the state's industrial wealth increased, education, journalism, literature, art, and architecture flourished in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The 1876 Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia illustrated America's advancement in the arts and industry.

Pennsylvania adopted a reform constitution in 1873, increasing the size of the Senate and house to reduce the threat of bribery, prescribing rules to prevent treachery in legislation and fraud at the polls, equalizing taxation, limiting state indebtedness, restricting the governor to one four-year term in eight years, and creating the office of lieutenant governor. None of this, however, seriously hampered the Republican political machine, led by Simon Cameron, Matthew Quay, and Boies Penrose, which dominated the state from the 1860s to the 1920s. Though Progressive reforms were enacted in subsequent years, the Penrose machine grew ever more efficient, while industrial leaderssupported both by the Pennsylvania state government and by society at largesmashed labor's efforts to unite, particularly in the great steel strike of 1919.

During the nationwide boom years of the 1920s, Pennsylvania did little more than hold its own economically, and its industrial growth rate was low. The state's share of the nation's iron and steel output no longer exceeded that of the rest of the country combined. Coal, textiles, and agricultureall basic to the state's economywere depressed. When Penrose died in 1921, at least five factions sought to control the powerful Pennsylvania Republican Party. In this confusion, Gifford Pinchot, a Progressive disciple of Theodore Roosevelt, won the governorship for 192327 and reorganized the state's administration, but failed in his attempt to enforce prohibition and to regulate power utilities.

The disastrous depression of the 1930s brought major changes to Pennsylvania. Serving again as governor (193135), Pinchot fought for state and federal relief for the unemployed. The Republican organization's lack of enthusiasm for Pinchot and Progressivism helped revive the state Democratic Party long enough to secure the election in 1934for the first time since 1890of its gubernatorial nominee, George H. Earle. As governor, Earle successfully introduced a Little New Deal, supporting labor, regulating utilities, aiding farmers, and building public works. With government support, coal miners, steelworkers, and other organized labor groups emerged from the Depression strong enough to challenge industry. Full employment and prosperity returned to Pennsylvania with the unprecedented demands on it for steel, ships, munitions, and uniforms during World War II.

Despite their professed opposition to government control, the Republican administrations (193955) that succeeded the Earle regime espoused and even enlarged Earle's program. They regulated industry, improved education, and augmented social services, at the same time increasing state bureaucracy, budgets, and taxes. Markets, transportation, banks, factories, machinery, and skilled labor remained abundant. Two Democratic governors were able to attract new industries to the state during the 1950s and early 1960s. However, the economy was still not healthy in 1963, when Republican William W. Scranton entered the statehouse (196367). Scranton continued both to enlarge state responsibilities (through increased taxes) and to secure federal aid for economic and social programs. He was rewarded with four years of steady economic growth. Pennsylvania's unemployment level, second-highest in the nation from 1950 to 1962, had dropped below the national average by 1966. The 1873 constitution was extensively revised at a constitutional convention held in 196768, during the administration of Raymond P. Shafer (196771), Scranton's Republican successor.

Pennsylvania faced an unresolved financial crisis in 1971 when Democrat Milton J. Shapp became governor. During his first term (197175), Shapp weathered the storm by securing passage of a state income tax. He virtually eliminated state patronage by signing union contracts covering state employees. Not only did he continue to attract business to Pennsylvania, but he also championed the consumer with no-fault auto insurance, adopted in 1974. Shapp's second term, however, was wrecked by his pursuit of the 1976 presidential nomination and by rampant corruption among Pennsylvania Democrats. Shapp's successor, Republican Richard L. Thornburgh, had scarcely been seated in the governor's chair before the release of radioactive gases resulting from the malfunction of one of the two nuclear reactors at Three Mile Island in March 1979 confronted himand otherswith vexing questions concerning the safety and wisdom of nuclear power. Nevertheless, in September 1985, during Thornburgh's second term, and following six years of cleanup of radioactive waste, the undamaged reactor at Three Mile Island was restarted.

In the mid-1980s, Pennsylvania found itself confronted with the problem of completing the transition from a manufacturing to a service economy. While some parts of the state, namely southeastern Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, had successfully negotiated the transition, the economies of Pittsburgh, Lehigh Valley, Scranton, and Wilkes-Barre remained centered on the depressed steel and coal industries. Under Governor Robert Casey, who took office in 1987, Pennsylvania created an organization called the Governor's Response Team to assist ailing industries in the state. The team helped companies obtain low-interest loans and subsidized companies that sought to retrain their workers. In the first year of its existence, the team reached out to assist 214 companies, saved 10,000 existing jobs, and created 10,000 new ones.

In the mid-1990s, steel was no longer the mainstay of industry in Pennsylvania, although the state still led the nation in production of specialty steel. Important manufacturing sectors included food processing and chemicals, especially pharmaceuticals. Philadelphia had become a center for high-technology industries, while Pittsburgh was a mecca for corporate headquarters. By 2000 the state's economy was described as "relentlessly strong" by one newspaper, and legislators considered $643.5 million in tax cuts to residents and businesses along with increased spending in education and health care. As in many other regions of the nation, one of the by-products of Pennsylvania's robust economy was urban sprawl. A landmark in the anti-sprawl movement, in June 2000 Republican Governor Tom Ridge signed into law a plan that encouraged local governments to work together, allowed them to determine growth areas, and required state agencies to comply with community development guidelines.

In 1996 Governor Ridge approved the deregulation of the state's electrical utilities. Four years later, a report indicated the move had helped the economy (by lower consumer bills) but would result in lower tax revenues (due to restructuring and lower prices). While computer models forecasted that by 2004 reductions in electric rates under deregulation would lead to $1.9 billion in additional economic output, a $1.4-billion increase in personal income, and 36,000 new jobs, legislators had not yet addressed the projected shortfall in tax revenues, which would affect public transportation and municipalities.

The state remained one of the nation's most populous, ranking fifth both in the 1990 census and 1995 estimates, before slipping to sixth (with over 12.2 million people) in 2000. The July 2004 population was 12.4 million, still ranking sixth in the nation.

Following the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, President George Bush proposed the creation of a cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security. Former Governor Tom Ridge was named first secretary of the department.

Democratic Governor Ed Rendell, elected in 2002, was the first former Philadelphia mayor to become Pennsylvania governor in 90 years. Rendell pledged to lower property taxes by one-third during his first year in office, raise income taxes, and to provide prescription drug coverage for senior citizens. He favored the introduction of slot machines at the state's racetracks and increasing school spending. In 2003, Pennsylvania faced a $2.4 billion budget deficit for fiscal year 2003/04.

Pennsylvania's 2005 budget was $22 billion; and the state's budget had been balanced. Governor Rendell was implementing his "Plan for a New Pennsylvania," by increasing education funding; passing an economic stimulus package to revitalize towns and communities; passing legislation to reduce property taxes; and expanding Pennsylvania's PACE and PACENET program to provide seniors with prescription drug coverage.

STATE GOVERNMENT

The 1873 constitution, substantially reshaped by a constitutional convention in 196768, is the foundation of state government in Pennsylvania. Between 1968 and January 2005, 30 amendments had been adopted.

The General Assembly consists of a 50-member Senate, elected to staggered four-year terms, and a 203-member House of Representatives, elected every two years. Regular sessions are two-years and begin on the first Tuesday in January of the odd-numbered year. The session ends on November 30 of the even-numbered year. Each calendar receives its own legislative number. Special sessions may be called by the majority petition of each house. To qualify for the General Assembly, a person must have been a state resident for four years and a district resident for at least one year; senators must be at least 25 years old, representatives at least 21. The legislative salary was $66,203.55 in 2004.

As head of the executive branch and chief executive officer of the state, the governor of Pennsylvania has the power to appoint heads of administrative departments, boards, and commissions, to approve or veto legislation, to grant pardons, and to command the state's military forces. The governor, who may serve no more than two four-year terms in succession, must be a US citizen, a qualified voter, be at least 30 years old, and have been a Pennsylvania resident for at least seven years before election. Elected with the governor is the lieutenant governor, who serves as president of the Senate and chairman of the board of pardons, and assumes the powers of the governor if the governor becomes unable to continue in that office. As of December 2004, the governor's salary was $155,753.

Other state elected officials are the auditor general, who oversees all state financial transactions; the state treasurer, who receives and keeps records of all state funds; and the attorney general, who heads the Department of Justice. All other department heads, or secretaries, are appointed by the governor and confirmed by a majority of the Senate.

A bill may be introduced in either house of the General Assembly. After the measure is passed by majority vote in each house, the governor has 10 days including Sundays (or 30 days, including Sundays, if the legislature has adjourned) in which to sign it, refuse to sign it (in which case it automatically becomes law), or veto it. Vetoes may be overridden by a two-thirds vote of the elected members of each house. A bill becomes effective 60 days after enactment.

A proposed constitutional amendment must be approved by a majority of both house and Senate members in two successive legislatures before it can be placed on the ballot. If approved by a majority of the voters in a general election, the amendment then becomes part of the constitution.

To vote in state elections a person must be a US citizen for at least one month before the next election, at least 18 years old, and a resident of Pennsylvania and of the precinct for at least 30 days preceding the election. Restrictions apply to convicted felons.

POLITICAL PARTIES

The Republican Party totally dominated Pennsylvania politics from 1860, when the first Republican governor was elected, to the early 1930s. During this period, there were 16 Republican and only two Democratic administrations. Most of the Republicans were staunchly probusiness, though one Republican Progressive, Gifford Pinchot, was elected governor in 1922 and again in 1930. A Democrat, George Earle, won the governorship in 1934, in the depths of the Depression, but from 1939 through 1955, Republicans again held the office without interruption. Only since the mid-1950s has Pennsylvania emerged as a two-party state, with Democrats electing governors in 1954, 1958, 1970, 1974, 1986 and 1990, and Republicans winning the governorships in 1962, 1966, 1978, 1982, and 1994. In 1998, Tom Ridge, the Republican first elected to the office in 1994, won a second term as governor. He was named the first secretary of the newly created Department of Homeland Security in November 2002, after having served as the first administrator of the Office of Homeland Security

from September 2001. In 2002, Democrat Ed Rendell was elected governor.

Both US Senate seats were held by Republicans from 1968 to 1991. In November of 1991, a little-known Democrat and former college president named Harris Wofford defeated former governor Richard Thornburgh for the seat of Senator John Heinz, who died in 1991. In 1994, Republican Rick Santorum, a congressman from the Pittsburgh area, defeated Wofford; Santorum was reelected in 2000. Pennsylvania's other senator, Republican Arlen Specter, was elected to his fifth term in 2004. In 2005, Pennsylvania's 19 US House seats were held by 7 Democrats and 12 Republicans. In mid-2005, there were 30 Republicans and 20 Democrats in the state Senate, and 110 Republicans and 93 Democrats in the state House.

Democratic voters were heavily concentrated in metropolitan Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania, a pivotal state for Jimmy Carter in 1976, was swept by the Republican tide in the 1980 presidential election; Ronald Reagan, the Republican nominee, won nearly 50% of the popular vote. In 1984, President Reagan received 53% of the popular vote, while Democrat Walter Mondale received 46%. In 1988, Republican and former vice president George Bush won 51% of the popular vote. Democratic nominee Bill Clinton garnered 45% of the vote in 1992, and in 1996, Clinton won 49% of the vote. In 2000, Democrat Al Gore won 51% of the vote to Republican George W. Bush's 47%; Green Party candidate Ralph Nader won 2% of the vote. In 2004, Democrat John Kerry won 50.8% of vote to incumbent President Bush's 48.6%. In 2004 there were 8,367,000 registered voters. In 1998, 48% of registered voters were Democratic, 42% Republican, and 9% unaffili-ated or members of other parties. The state had 21 electoral votes in the 2004 presidential election, a loss of 2 votes over 2000.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

As of 2005, Pennsylvania had 67 counties, 1,018 municipal governments, 501 public school districts, and 1,885 special districts. In 2002, there were 1,546 townships.

Under home-rule laws, municipalities may choose to draft and amend their own charter. Pennsylvania counties are responsible for state law enforcement, judicial administration, and the conduct of state elections: counties also are involved in public health, regional planning, and solid waste disposal. Counties can also maintain hospitals, homes for the aged, community colleges, libraries, and other community facilities. The chief governing body in each county is a three-member board of commissioners, each elected to a four-year term. Other elected officials generally include the sheriff, district attorney, notary, clerk of courts, register of wills, recorder of deeds, jury commissioners, auditor or controller, and treasurer. Among the appointed officials is a public defender. Counties are divided by law into nine classes, depending on population. Philadelphia's county offices were merged with the city government in 1952, pursuant to the home-rule charter of 1951.

There are four classes of cities. The only first-class city, Philadelphia, is governed by a mayor and city council. Other elected officials are the controller, district attorney, sheriff, register of wills, and three city commissioners. Major appointed officials include managing director, director of finance, city representative, and city solicitor. Both Pittsburgh and Scranton (classified as second-class cities) are governed under mayor-council systems that give the mayors strong discretionary powers.

Boroughs are governed under mayor-council systems giving the council strong powers. Other elected officials are the tax assessor, tax collector, and auditor or controller. The state's first-class townships, located mostly in metropolitan areas, are governed by elected commissioners who serve four-year overlapping terms. Second-class townships, most of them located in rural areas, have three supervisors who are elected at large to six-year terms.

In 2005, local government accounted for about 416,829 full-time (or equivalent) employment positions.

STATE SERVICES

To address the continuing threat of terrorism and to work with the federal Department of Homeland Security, homeland security in Pennsylvania operates under executive order; a homeland security director was appointed to oversee the state's homeland security activities.

Executive agencies under the governor's jurisdiction are the Advisory Commission on African American Affairs, the Advisory Commission on Asian American Affairs, Advisory Commission on Latino Affairs, Commission for Children and Families, Green Government Council, Sportsmen's Advisory Council, Office of Inspector General, Office of Public Liaison, Pennsylvania Rural Development Council, and the Council on the Arts. The State Ethics Commission enforces the Pennsylvania Public Official and Employee Ethics Act. The Liquor Control Board operates state liquor stores and claims to be the world's largest single purchaser of liquors and wines.

The Department of Education administers the school laws of Pennsylvania, oversees community colleges, licenses and regulates private schools, and administers the state public library program. Educational policy is the province of the State Board of Education, a panel with 17 members appointed by the governor to six-year terms. Also within the department are various boards that make policies for and review developments within the state's higher educational system.

The Department of Transportation maintains state-operated highways, mass transit, rail service, and aviation facilities. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission also has transport-related responsibilities. Agencies and departments providing health and welfare services include the Department of Aging, Department of Community and Economic Development, and Department of Health. All public assistance, social service, mental health, and developmental disability programs are administered by the Department of Public Welfare.

The Office of Attorney General has divisions on criminal law, legal services, and public protection. The National Guard, Bureau for Veterans' Affairs, and state veterans' homes are under the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs; the Pennsylvania State Police is a separate state agency. The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency allocates federal funds for crime control, juvenile justice, and delinquency prevention. The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (formerly the State Council of Civil Defense) provides assistance in emergency situations resulting from natural or manmade disasters.

All state park and forest preservation programs, ecological and geological resource information programs, and community conservation partnerships are under the supervision of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Department of Environmental Protection. Land and water environmental protection programs are under the supervision of the Department of Environmental Protection. The Department of Labor and Industry administers safety, employment, and industrial standards; operates vocational rehabilitation and workers' compensation programs; and mediates labor disputes.

JUDICIAL SYSTEM

Since 1968, all Pennsylvania courts have been organized under the Unified Judicial System. The highest court in the state is the Supreme Court, which, having been established in 1722, is the oldest appellate court in the United States. The Court consists of 7 justices, elected to 10-year terms. The justice with the longest continuous service on the court automatically becomes chief justice. In general, the Supreme Court hears appeals from the commonwealth court. A separate appellate court, called the Superior Court, hears appeals from the courts of common pleas. There are 15 superior court judges, also elected to 10-year terms, as are the commonwealth and common pleas, which have original jurisdiction over all civil and criminal cases not otherwise specified.

In counties other than Philadelphia, misdemeanors and other minor offenses are tried by district justices, formerly known as justices of the peace. The Philadelphia municipal court consists of 22 judges, all of whom must be lawyers; the six judges who constitute the Philadelphia traffic court need not be lawyers. Pittsburgh's magistrates' court, appointed by the mayor, comprises 5 to 8 judges who need not be lawyers. All of Pennsylvania's judges, except traffic court judges and Pittsburgh's magistrates, are initially elected on a partisan ballot and thereafter on a nonpartisan retention ballot.

As of 31 December 2004, a total of 40,963 prisoners were held in Pennsylvania's state and federal prisons, an increase from 40,890 of 0.2% from the previous year. As of year-end 2004, a total of 1,827 inmates were female, up from 1,823 or 0.2% from the year before. Among sentenced prisoners (one year or more), Pennsylvania had an incarceration rate of 329 per 100,000 population in 2004.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Pennsylvania in 2004, had a violent crime rate (murder/nonnegligent manslaughter; forcible rape; robbery; aggravated assault) of 411.1 reported incidents per 100,000 population, or a total of 50,998 reported incidents. Crimes against property (burglary; larceny/theft; and motor vehicle theft) in that same year totaled 299,611 reported incidents or 2,415 reported incidents per 100,000 people. Pennsylvania has a death penalty, of which lethal injection is the sole method of execution. From 1976 through 5 May 2006, the state has carried out three executions, the last of which took place in July 1999. As of 1 January 2006, Pennsylvania had 231 inmates on death row.

In 2003, Pennsylvania spent $218,059,061 on homeland security, an average of $18 per state resident.

ARMED FORCES

In 2004, there were 2,837 active-duty military personnel and 25,076 civilian personnel stationed in Pennsylvania. The US Army War College is in Carlisle, and there are army depots in Chambersburg, New Cumberland, and Scranton. Defense contracts worth more than $6.2 billion were awarded to Pennsylvania firms in 2004, tenth-highest in the United States for that year. In addition, there was another $2.9 billion in payroll outlays by the Department of Defense.

In 2003, there were 1,145,919 veterans living in the state, of whom 221,316 served in World War II; 149,673 in the Korean conflict; 335,124 during the Vietnam era; and 124,852 in the Gulf War. In 2004, the Veterans Administration expended more than $2.4 billion in pensions, medical assistance, and other major veterans' benefits.

As of 31 October 2004, the Pennsylvania State Police employed 4,227 full-time sworn officers.

MIGRATION

When William Penn's followers arrived in Pennsylvania, they joined small groups of Dutch, Swedish, and Finnish immigrants who were already settled along the Delaware River. By 1685, 50% of Pennsylvania's European population was British. In 1683, the Frankfort Land Co. founded the Mennonite community of Germantown on 6,000 acres (2,400 hectares) east of the Schuylkill River. One hundred years later there were 120,000 Germans, about one-fourth of the state's census population; the Moravians, from Saxony, settled primarily in Bethlehem and Nazareth, and the Amish in Lancaster and Reading.

During the 19th century, more immigrants settled in Pennsylvania than in any other state except New York. Between 1840 and 1890, the anthracite mines in east-central Pennsylvania attracted the Irish, Welsh, and Slavs; Scots-Irish, Italian, Austrian, Hungarian, and Polish (and, after 1880, Russian) immigrants worked the western coal fields. The cities attracted Italian, French, and Slavic workers. East European and Russian Jews settled in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh between 1882 and 1900. By the turn of the century, the urban population surpassed the rural population.

During the 20th century, these patterns have been reversed. The trend among whites, particularly since World War II, has been to move outfrom the cities to the suburbs, and from Pennsylvania to other states. Blacks, who began entering the state first as slaves and then as freemen, continued to migrate to the larger cities until the early 1970s, when a small out-migration began. Overall, between 1940 and 1980, Pennsylvania lost a net total of l,759,000 residents through migration; it lost an additional 98,000 residents between 1980 and 1983. From 1985 to 1990, Pennsylvania had a net migration gain of nearly 21,000. Between 1990 and 1998, the state had a net loss of 219,000 in domestic migration but a net gain of 104,000 in international migration. In 1996, about 3% of Pennsylvania's population (421,000) was foreign-born. In 1998, 11,942 foreign immigrants arrived in the state; of these, the greatest number, 1,127, came from India. Pennsylvania's overall population increased only 1% between 1990 and 1998. In the period 200005, net international migration was 102,470 and net internal migration was 28,012, for a net gain of 74,458 people.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION

Pennsylvania participates in such regional bodies as the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, Susquehanna River Basin Commission, Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission, Wheeling Creek Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Commission, and Great Lakes Commission. In 1985, Pennsylvania, seven other Great Lakes states, and the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario signed the Great Lakes Compact to protect the lakes' water reserves. Other agreements include the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, Interstate Mining Compact Commission, Ohio River Basin Commission, Appalachian Regional Commission, Brandywine River Valley Compact, New Jersey-Pennsylvania Turnpike Bridge Compact, Potomac Valley Conservancy District, Pymatuning Lake Compact, and the Tri-State Agreement on the Chesapeake Bay.

Some of the most important interstate agreements concern commerce and development along the Delaware River. The Delaware River Basin Commission involves the governors of Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania in the utilization and conservation of the Delaware and its surrounding areas. Through the Delaware River Port Authority, New Jersey and Pennsylvania control an interstate mass transit system. The two states also are signatories to the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Compact and Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission. During fiscal year 2005, Pennsylvania received $15.561 billion in federal grants (fifth among the 50 states). Federal grants were estimated at $16.324 billion in fiscal year 2006, and an estimated $16.846 billion in fiscal year 2007.

ECONOMY

Dominated by coal and steel, Pennsylvania is an important contributor to the national economy, but its role has diminished considerably since the early 20th Century. The state reached the height of its economic development by 1920, when its western oil wells and coal fields made it the nation's leading energy producer. By that time, however, Pennsylvania's oil production was already on the decline, and demand for coal had slackened. No longer did the state dominate US steel production. Pennsylvania produced 60% of the United States total in 1900, but only 30% in 1940 and 24% in 1960. Philadelphia, a diversified manufacturing center, began to lose many of its textile and apparel factories. The Great Depression of the 1930s hastened the decline. Industrial production in 1932 was less than half the 1929 level, and mineral production, already in a slump throughout the 1920s, dropped more than 50% in value between 1929 and 1933. By 1933, some 37% of the state's workforce was unemployed.

Massive federal aid programs and the production of munitions stimulated employment during the 1940s, but some sections of the state have never fully recovered from the damage of the Depression years. Declines in coal and steel production and the loss of other industries to the Sunbelt have not yet been entirely countered by gains in other sectors, despite a steady expansion of machinery production, increased tourism, and the growth of service-related industries and trade. Manufacturing, the second-largest employer in Pennsylvaniaproviding one million jobs in the 1990slost about 350,000 jobs during the 1980s. The outlook for the steel industry remains uncertain, as Pennsylvania's aging factories face severe competition from foreign producers. Services, in contrast, recorded about as much growth as manufacturing lost. The fastest growing service industries were concentrated in the medical and health fields. Coming into the 21st century, the annual growth rate for Pennsylvania's economy averaged 4.75% (1998 to 2000), which was then more than halved to 2.2% in the national recession of 2001. Manufacturing output, which grew 5.2% from 1997 to 2000 (although decreasing as a share of total output from 20.1% to 18.4%), fell 7.2% in 2001 (decreasing its share to 16.7%). The strongest growth in output was in various service sectors, with output from general services up 28% from 1997 to 2001; from financial services, up 22.1%, and from trade, up 19.5%.

In 2004, Pennsylvania's gross state product (GSP) was $468.089 billion, of which manufacturing (durable and nondurable goods) accounted for the largest share at $75.281 billion or 16% of GSP, followed by the real estate sector at $55.986 billion (11.9% of GSP), and healthcare and social assistance services at $42.035 billion (8.9% of GSP). In that same year, there were an estimated 927,369 small businesses in Pennsylvania. Of the 275,853 businesses that had employees, an estimated total of 271,410 or 98.4% were small companies. An estimated 33,188 new businesses were established in the state in 2004, up 6.3% from the year before. Business terminations that same year came to 34,507, up 4.8% from 2003. There were 1,138 business bankruptcies in 2004, down 4.6% from the previous year. In 2005, the state's personal bankruptcy (Chapter 7 and Chapter 13) filing rate was 472 filings per 100,000 people, ranking Pennsylvania as the 31st highest in the nation.

INCOME

In 2005 Pennsylvania had a gross state product (GSP) of $487 billion which accounted for 3.9% of the nation's gross domestic product and placed the state at number 6 in highest GSP among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2004 Pennsylvania had a per capita personal income (PCPI) of $33,312. This ranked 19th in the United States and was 101% of the national average of $33,050. The 19942004 average annual growth rate of PCPI was 4.0%. Pennsylvania had a total personal income (TPI) of $412,890,270,000, which ranked sixth in the United States and reflected an increase of 5.1% from 2003. The 19942004 average annual growth rate of TPI was 4.2%. Earnings of persons employed in Pennsylvania increased from $291,978,764,000 in 2003 to $308,068,372,000 in 2004, an increase of 5.5%. The 200304 national change was 6.3%.

The US Census Bureau reports that the three-year average median household income for 2002 to 2004 in 2004 dollars was $44,286 compared to a national average of $44,473. During the same period an estimated 10.4% of the population was below the poverty line as compared to 12.4% nationwide.

LABOR

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in April 2006 the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force in Pennsylvania 6,318,700, with approximately 299,400 workers unemployed, yielding an unemployment rate of 4.7%, compared to the national average of 4.7% for the same period. Preliminary data for the same period placed nonfarm employment at 5,747,200. Since the beginning of the BLS data series in 1976, the highest unemployment rate recorded in Pennsylvania was 12.9% in March 1983. The historical low was 4% in March 2000. Preliminary nonfarm employment data by occupation for April 2006 showed that approximately 4.4% of the labor force was employed in construction; 11.6% in manufacturing; 19.7% in trade, transportation, and public utilities; 5.8% in financial activities; 11.6% in professional and business services; 18.3% in education and health services; 8.5% in leisure and hospitality services; and 13% in government.

The history of unionism in Pennsylvania dates back to 1724 when Philadelphia workers organized the Carpenters' Company, the first crafts association in the colonies. Its Carpenters' Hall gained fame as the site of the First Continental Congress in 1774; the carpenters were also responsible for the first strike in the United States in 1791. The nation's first labor union was organized by Philadelphia shoemakers in 1794. By 1827, the Mechanics' Union of Trade Associations, the country's first central labor body, was striking for a 10-hour workday and was the impetus behind the formation of the Organized Workingman's Party. Nine years later there were no fewer than 58 labor organizations in Philadelphia and 13 in Pittsburgh, but the Panic of 1837 resulted in a sharp decline of union strength and membership for many years. Union ranks were further depleted by the Civil War, despite the efforts of Pennsylvania labor leader William Sylvis, who later became an important figure in the national labor reform movement. After the Civil War ended, the Noble Order of the Knights of Labor was established in Philadelphia in 1869.

The coal fields were sites of violent organizing struggles. In 1835, low wages and long hours sparked the first general mine strikes, which, like a walkout by anthracite miners in 1849, proved unsuccessful. During the 1850s and 1870s, a secret society known as the Molly Maguires led uprisings in the anthracite fields, but its influence ended after the conviction of its leaders for terrorist activities. The demise of the Molly Maguires did not stop the violence, however. Eleven persons were killed during a mine strike at Connellsville in 1891, and a strike by Luzerne County miners in 1897 resulted in 20 deaths. Finally, a five-month walkout by anthracite miners in 1902 led to increased pay, reduced hours, and an agreement to employ arbitration to settle disputes.

Steelworkers, burdened for many years by 12-hour workdays and 7-day workweeks, called several major strikes during this period. An 1892 lockout at Andrew Carnegie's Homestead steel mill led to a clash between workers and Pinkerton guards hired by the company. After several months, the strikers went back to work, their resources exhausted. A major strike in 1919, involving half of the nation's steelworkers, shut down the industry for more than three months, but it too produced no immediate gains. The Steel Workers Organizing Committee, later the United Steelworkers, finally won a contract and improved benefits from US Steel in 1937, although other steel companies held out until the early 1940s, when the Supreme Court forced recognition of the union.

The US Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2005, a total of 753,000 of Pennsylvania's 5,456,000 employed wage and salary workers were formal members of a union. This represented 13.8% of those so employed, down from 15% in 2004, but still above the national average of 12%. Overall in 2005, a total of 818,000 workers (15%) in Pennsylvania were covered by a union or employee association contract, which includes those workers who reported no union affiliation. Pennsylvania is one of 28 states that do not have a right-to-work law.

As of 1 March 2006, Pennsylvania had a state-mandated minimum wage rate of $5.15 per hour. In 2004, women in the state accounted for 47.5% of the employed civilian labor force.

AGRICULTURE

Pennsylvania ranked 20th among the 50 states in agricultural income in 2005, with receipts of $4.7 billion.

During the colonial period, German immigrants farmed the fertile land in southeastern Pennsylvania, making the state a leader in agricultural production. Unlike farmers in other states, who worked the soil until it was depleted and then moved on, these farmers carefully cultivated the same plots year after year, using crop rotation techniques that kept the land productive. As late as 1840, the state led the nation in wheat production, thanks in part to planting techniques developed and largely confined to southeastern Pennsylvania. However, westward expansion and the subsequent fall in agricultural prices hurt farming in the state, and many left the land for industrial jobs in the cities. Today, most farms in the state produce crops and dairy items for Philadelphia and other major eastern markets.

As of 2004 there were about 58,200 farms averaging 132 acres (54 hectares) in size. The leading farm areas were all in southeastern Pennsylvania. Lancaster County is by far the most productive, followed by the counties of Chester, Berks, Franklin, and Lebanon. These five counties account for over 40% of state agricultural sales.

Field crops in 2004 included: hay, 4,296,000 tons (valued at $380 million); corn for grain, 137.2 million bushels (valued at $274.4 million); soybeans, 10.5 million bushels (valued at $97.5 million); wheat, 6.6 million bushels (valued at $21.8 million); oats, 6.1 million bushels (valued at $10.3 million); and barley, 3.4 million (valued at $7.7 million).

Pennsylvania is a major producer of mushrooms and greenhouse and nursery crops. Other crops are fresh vegetables, potatoes, strawberries, apples, pears, peaches, grapes, and cherries (sweet and tart). The value of fresh market vegetables exceeded $70.4 million in 2004; the value of vegetables for processing, $10.9 million.

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

Most of Pennsylvania's farm income stems from livestock production, primarily in Lancaster County.

In 2005, there were an estimated 1.63 million cattle and calves, valued at $1.8 billion. During 2004, there were around 1.1 million hogs and pigs, worth $106.9 million. In 2003 the state produced 7 million lb (3.2 million kg) of sheep and lambs, which brought in $7.5 million in gross income.

Pennsylvania is a leading producer of chickens in the United States, selling 44.2 million lb (20 million kg) in 2003. An estimated 10.4 billion lb (4.7 billion kg) of milk (fourth among the 50 states) was produced from 575,000 milk cows in the same year.

FISHING

There is very little commercial fishing in Pennsylvania. In 2004, the commercial catch was only 14,000 lb (640 kg), worth $38,000. In 2003, there were 5 processing and 34 wholesale plants in the state with about 976 employees.

The state's many lakes and streams make it a popular area for sport fishing. All recreational fishing in the state is supervised by the Fish Commission, established in 1866 and one of the oldest conservation agencies in the United States. Walleye, trout, and salmon were the leading species. There are two national fish hatcheries in the state. In 2004, Pennsylvania issued 1,018,756 sport fishing licenses.

FORESTRY

Pennsylvania's richly diverse forests dominate the landscape, covering 58% (16,585,000 acres/6,712,000 hectares) of the total land area. For the northeastern United States, public ownership is high at 26% (4,403,000 acres/1,782,000 hectares), mostly owned by the commonwealth. The 1989 Forest Inventory identified 90 different tree species; most of the 2,076 species of native vascular plants are forest related. Eagles and ospreys are making a comeback, there is a resident elk herd (the largest east of the Mississippi), coyotes have moved in, and river otters and fishers have been re-introduced. Some species of forest birds which are experiencing declines regionally have increasing populations in Pennsylvania's forests.

The forest products industry and forest-based recreation are very important to Pennsylvania's economy. Ten commercial tree species dominate the average annual net growth, producing 74% of the wood grown each year. In 2004, the total lumber production was 1,143 million board feet, or 2.3% of the US total.

Camping, fishing, hiking, and hunting are traditional Pennsylvania pastimes and the clean streams, vistas, and flora and fauna of the forest provide a focal point for these activities.

MINING

According to preliminary data from the US Geological Survey (USGS), the estimated value of nonfuel mineral production by Pennsylvania in 2003 was $1.26 billion, a decrease from 2002 of about 2%. The USGS data ranked Pennsylvania as 10th among the 50 states by the total value of its nonfuel mineral production, accounting for over 3% of total US output.

According to the preliminary data for 2003, by descending order of value, crushed stone, cement (portland and masonry), and construction sand and gravel were the state's top nonfuel minerals by value. Collectively, these commodities accounted for almost 92% of all nonfuel mineral output, by value. By volume, Pennsylvania in 2003 was third in portland cement, fourth (out of four states) in the production of tripoli, and sixth in the production of masonry cement and lime.

Preliminary figures for 2003 showed that crushed stone production totaled 96 million metric tons, which had a value of $547 million, while portland cement output that year totaled 6.13 million metric tons and was valued at an estimated $457 million. Construction sand and gravel production in 2003 totaled 18 million metric tons and was worth $115 million. Lime output that same year stood at 1.25 million metric tons and was worth $91.3 million.

Although no metals were mined in Pennsylvania, the state was the nation's fifth leading producer of raw steel, processing 5.53 million metric tons of raw steel in 2003.

ENERGY AND POWER

As of 2003, Pennsylvania had 85 electrical power service providers, of which 35 were publicly owned and 13 were cooperatives. Of the remainder, 11 were investor owned, 17 were generation-only suppliers and nine were delivery-only providers. As of that same year there were 5,747,853 retail customers. Of that total, 5,161,605 received their power from investor-owned service providers. Cooperatives accounted for 207,495 customers, while publicly owned providers had 83,030 customers. Generation-only suppliers had 295,723 customers. There was no customer data on the number of delivery-only customers.

Total net summer generating capability by the state's electrical generating plants in 2003 stood at 42.368 million kW, with total production that same year at 206.349 billion kWh. Of the total amount generated, 14.6% came from electric utilities, with the remaining 85.4% coming from independent producers and combined heat and power service providers. The largest portion of all electric power generated, 116.009 billion kWh (56.2%), came from coal-fired plants, with nuclear power generation in second place at 74.360 billion kWh (36%). Other renewable power sources, pumped storage facilities, hydroelectric, petroleum, natural gas, and other types of gas fueled plants accounted for the remaining production.

Operating nuclear plants in Pennsylvania as of 2006 were: Peach Bottom in York County; Beaver Valley at Shippingsport, Susquehanna in Luzerne County; Limerick, near Philadelphia; and Unit 1 of the Three Mile Island plant near Harrisburg.

The nation's first oil well was struck in Titusville in 1859, and for the next five decades Pennsylvania led the nation in oil production. As of 2004, Pennsylvania had proven crude oil reserves of 12 million barrels, less than 1% of all proven US reserves, while output that same year averaged 7,000 barrels per day. Including federal offshore domains, the state that year ranked 24th (23rd excluding federal offshore) in proven reserves and 22nd (21st excluding federal offshore) in production among the 31 producing states. In 2004 Pennsylvania had 16,242 producing oil wells, accounting for under 1% of all US production. As of 2005, the state's five refineries had a combined crude oil distillation capacity of 770,000 barrels per day.

In 2004, Pennsylvania had 44,227 producing natural gas and gas condensate wells. In that same year, marketed gas production (all gas produced excluding gas used for repressuring, vented and flared, and nonhydrocarbon gases removed) totaled 159.827 billion cu ft (4.5 billion cu m). As of 31 December 2004, proven reserves of dry or consumer-grade natural gas totaled 2,386 billion cu ft (67.76 billion cu m).

Virtually all the state's commercial oil and gas reserves lie beneath the Allegheny High Plateau, in western Pennsylvania.

Coal is the state's most valuable mineral commodity, accounting for more than two-thirds of all mine income. In 2004, Pennsylvania had 260 producing coal mines, 202 of which were surface operations and 58 were underground. Coal production that year totaled 65,996,000 short tons, up from 63,708,000 short tons in 2003. Of the total produced in 2004, underground mines accounted for most of the production at 53,224,000 short tons.

Pennsylvania is the only state to produce both anthracite (hard) and bituminous (soft or brown) coal. The state has a total of 66 anthracite mines (46 surface and 20 underground) and 194 bituminous (156 surface and 38 underground) mines. In 2004, anthracite production totaled 1,679,000 short tons, with bituminous output at 64,317,000 short tons.

Total recoverable coal reserves in 2004 totaled 614 million short tons. Of that total, recoverable anthracite reserves that year totaled 22 million short tons, while recoverable bituminous reserves were placed at 592 million short tons. Bituminous coal is mined in Washington, Clearfield, Greene, Cambria, Armstrong, Somerset, Clarion, Allegheny, and 19 other counties in the western part of the state. A anthracite mining is concentrated in Schuylkill, Luzerne, Lackawanna, Northumberland, Carbon, Columbia, Sullivan, and Dauphin counties in the east. One short ton equals 2,000 lb (0.907 metric tons).

INDUSTRY

At different times throughout its history, Pennsylvania has been the nation's principal producer of ships, iron, chemicals, lumber, oil, textiles, glass, coal, and steel. Although it is still a major manufacturing center, Pennsylvania's industrial leadership has diminished steadily during the 20th century.

The first major industry in colonial Pennsylvania was shipbuilding, centered in Philadelphia. Iron works, brick kilns, candle factories, and other small crafts industries also grew up around the city. By 1850, Philadelphia alone accounted for nearly half of Pennsylvania's manufacturing output, with an array of products including flour, preserved meats, sugar, textiles, shoes, furniture, iron, locomotives, pharmaceuticals, and books. The exploitation of the state's coal and oil resources and the discovery of new steel-making processes helped build Pittsburgh into a major industrial center.

According to the US Census Bureau's Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) for 2004, Pennsylvania's manufacturing sector covered some 21 product subsectors. The shipment value of all products manufactured in the state that same year was $190.370 billion. Of that total, chemical manufacturing accounted for the largest share at $29.876 billion. It was followed by food manufacturing at $23.707 billion; primary metal manufacturing at $17.760 billion; petroleum and coal product manufacturing at $17.471 billion; and fabricated metal product manufacturing at $15.090 billion.

In 2004, a total of 645,796 people in Pennsylvania were employed in the state's manufacturing sector, according to the ASM. Of that total, 457,003 were actual production workers. In terms of total employment, the fabricated metal product manufacturing industry accounted for the largest portion of all manufacturing employees with 85,795 (62,587 actual production workers). It was followed by food manufacturing, with 71,228 (51,734 actual production workers); machinery manufacturing, with 51,643 (32,815 actual production workers); plastics and rubber products manufacturing, with 44,095 (34,117 actual production workers); printing and related support activities, with 42,733 (31,705 actual production workers); and transportation equipment manufacturing, with 37,763 (27,124 actual production workers).

ASM data for 2004 showed that Pennsylvania's manufacturing sector paid $26.816 billion in wages. Of that amount, the fabricated metal product manufacturing sector accounted for the largest share at $3.402 billion. It was followed by food manufacturing at $2.468 billion; machinery manufacturing at $2.372 billion; primary metal manufacturing at $2.140 billion; and chemical manufacturing at $2.063 billion.

COMMERCE

A major component in Philadelphia's early economy, trade remains important to the state.

According to the 2002 Census of Wholesale Trade, Pennsylvania's wholesale trade sector had sales that year totaling $183.7 billion from 15,991 establishments. Wholesalers of durable goods accounted for 9,887 establishments, followed by nondurable goods wholesalers at 4,777 and electronic markets, agents, and brokers accounting for 1,327 establishments. Sales by durable goods wholesalers in 2002 totaled $77.5 billion, while wholesalers of nondurable goods saw sales of $83.2 billion. Electronic markets, agents, and brokers in the wholesale trade industry had sales of $22.9 billion.

In the 2002 Census of Retail Trade, Pennsylvania was listed as having 48,041 retail establishments with sales of $130.7 billion. The leading types of retail businesses by number of establishments were: food and beverage stores (6,949); clothing and clothing accessories stores (6,276); motor vehicle and motor vehicle parts dealers (5,465); miscellaneous store retailers (5,449); and gasoline stations (4,476). In terms of sales, motor vehicle and motor vehicle parts stores accounted for the largest share of retail sales at $33.1 billion, followed by food and beverage stores at $21.3 billion; general merchandise stores at $16.8 billion; nonstore retailers at $11.6 billion; gasoline stations at $9.6 billion; and building material/garden equipment and supplies dealers at $9.2 billion. A total of 661,993 people were employed by the retail sector in Pennsylvania that year.

During the colonial era, Philadelphia was one of the busiest Atlantic ports and the leading port for the lucrative Caribbean trade. Philadelphia remains one of the country's leading foreign trade centers. In 2005, total exports of Pennsylvania goods had a value of $22.2 billion (ninth in the United States).

CONSUMER PROTECTION

Consumer protection affairs in Pennsylvania are the responsibility of the Bureau of Consumer Protection, which is under the Office of Attorney General. The bureau investigates and mediates complaints, acts in an advisory position to the legislature on issues that would affect consumers, investigates claims of fraud and deception, and acts to promote consumer education. Also within the Office of Attorney General is the Charitable Trusts and Organizations section and the Office of Consumer Advocate, which is responsible for representing the state's consumers in matters that involve utility services. Pennsylvanians are encouraged to report instances of fraud, waste, or mismanagement of state funds through a toll-free telephone service run by the Auditor General. Additionally, the Department of Insurance and the Department of Banking protect state residents against insurance fraud and banking fraud, respectively.

When dealing with consumer protection issues, the state's Attorney General's Office can initiate civil and criminal proceedings; administer consumer protection and education programs; handle formal consumer complaints; and exercise broad subpoena powers. However, the Attorney General cannot represent the state before regulatory agencies. In antitrust actions, the Attorney General's Office can act on behalf of those consumers who are incapable of acting on their own; initiate damage actions on behalf of the state in state courts; initiate criminal proceedings; and represent counties, cities and other governmental entities in recovering civil damages under state or federal law.

The offices of the Bureau of Consumer Protection and of the Office of Consumer Advocate are located in Harrisburg. The Office of the Attorney General has regional offices in Allentown, Ebensburg, Erie, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Scranton. County government consumer protection offices are located in Doylestown, Media, Norristown and West Chester.

BANKING

Philadelphia is the nation's oldest banking center, and Third Street, between Chestnut and Walnut, has been called the cradle of American finance. The first chartered commercial bank in the United States was the Bank of North America, granted its charter in Philadelphia by the federal government in December 1781 and by Pennsylvania in April 1782. The First Bank of the United States was headquartered in Philadelphia from its inception in 1791 to 1811, when its charter was allowed to expire. Its building was bought by Stephen Girard, a private banker whose new institution quickly became one of the nation's largest banks. Girard's bank was closed after he died in 1831, but a new Girard Bank was opened in 1832; it merged with Philadelphia National Bank in 1926.

By the early 1800s, Philadelphia had reached its zenith as the nation's financial center. It was the home of the Bank of Pennsylvania, founded in 1793; the Bank of Philadelphia (1804); the Farmers and Mechanics Bank (1809); the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society (1816), the first mutual savings bank; and, most powerful of all, the Second Bank of the United States (1816). After 1823, under the directorship of Nicholas Biddle, this bank became an international leader and the only rival to New York City's growing banking industry. When President Jackson vetoed the bank's recharter in 1831, Philadelphia lost its preeminence as a banking center.

Pittsburgh's rise to prominence during the late 1800s, was due in great part to the efforts of its most successful financier, Andrew Mellon. In March 1982, the state legalized multibank holding companies; subsequently, the Mellon Bank acquired Centre County Bank of State College, Girard Bank, and Northwest Bank. Other major institutions are: Pittsburgh National Bank, part of PNC Financial, and Philadelphia National Bank. First Pennsylvania, in financial difficulty for several years, was saved from possible failure early in 1980 through a loan package engineered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

As of June 2005, Pennsylvania had 254 insured banks, savings and loans, and saving banks, plus 73 state-chartered and 579 federally chartered credit unions (CUs). Excluding the CUs, the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington market area accounted for the largest portion of the state's financial institutions and deposits in 2004, with 156 institutions and $221.259 billion in deposits. As of June 2005, CUs accounted for 6.2% of all assets held by all financial institutions in the state, or some $23.100 billion. Banks, savings and loans, and savings banks collectively accounted for the remaining 93.8% or $348.550 billion in assets held.

The median net interest margin (the difference between the lower rates offered to savers and the higher rates charged on loans) for the state's banks stood at 3.31% as of fourth quarter 2005, down from 3.37% in 2004 and 3.38% in 2003. Pennsylvania's banks' media past-due/nonaccrual loan to total loan ratios in fourth quarter 2005 stood at 1.26%, down from 1.36% in 2004 and 1.51% in 2003.

Regulation of Pennsylvania's state-charter banks and other state-chartered financial institutions is the responsibility of the state's Department of Banking.

INSURANCE

In 2004, there were over 8.5 million individual life insurance policies in force, with a total value of about $551 billion; total value for all categories of life insurance (individual, group, and credit) was over $909.5 billion. The average coverage amount is $64,100 per policy holder. Death benefits paid that year totaled $2.67 billion.

There were 37 life and health and 200 property and casualty insurance companies domiciled in Pennsylvania in 2003. In 2004, direct premiums for property and casualty insurance totaled over $19.2 billion. That year, there were 60,779 flood insurance policies in force in the state, with a total value of $8 billion. About $2.2 billion of coverage was held through FAIR plans, which are designed to offer coverage for some natural circumstances, such as wind and hail, in high risk areas.

In 2004, 58% of state residents held employment-based health insurance policies, 5% held individual policies, and 25% were covered under Medicare and Medicaid; 12% of residents were uninsured. In 2003, employee contributions for employment-based health coverage averaged at 15% for single coverage and 23% for family coverage. The state does not offer a health benefits expansion program in connection with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA, 1986), a health insurance program for those who lose employment-based coverage due to termination or reduction of work hours.

In 2003, there were over 8.3 million auto insurance policies in effect for private passenger cars. Required minimum coverage includes bodily injury liability of up to $15,000 per individual and $30,000 for all persons injured in an accident, as well as property damage liability of $5,000. Coverage for first party medical expenses is also required. In 2003, the average expenditure per vehicle for insurance coverage was $810.25.

SECURITIES

Formally established in 1790, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHLX) is the oldest stock exchange in the United States. It was also the nation's most important exchange until the 1820s, when the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) eclipsed it. Since World War II, the Philadelphia exchange has merged with stock exchanges in Baltimore (1949), Washington, DC (1953), and Pittsburgh (1969). As the primary odd-lot market for Government National Mortgage Association securities and as a leading market for odd-lot government securities and stock options, PHLX ranks after only the NYSE and American exchanges (AMEX) in trading volume. PHLX was the first exchange in the United States to trade foreign currency options (1982) and the National Over-the-Counter Index (1985). Over 2,600 stocks and over 800 options are traded on the exchange.

Sales of securities are regulated by the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, which also licenses all securities dealers, agents, and investment advisers in the state.

In 2005, there were 5,490 personal financial advisers employed in the state and 7,680 securities, commodities, and financial services sales agents. In 2004, there were over 415 publicly traded companies within the state, with over 168 NASDAQ companies, 97 NYSE listings, and 26 AMEX listings. In 2006, the state had 26 Fortune 500 companies; AmerisouceBergen ranked first in the state and 27th in the nation with revenues of over $54.5 billion, followed by Sunoco, Comcast, Rite Aid, and Cigna. Comcast is listed on NASDAQ; the other top four are listed on the NYSE.

PUBLIC FINANCE

Pennsylvania's budget is prepared annually by the Office of Budget and submitted by the governor to the General Assembly for amendment and approval. By law, annual operating expenditures may not exceed available revenues and surpluses from prior years. The fiscal year (FY) runs from 1 July to 30 June.

Fiscal year 2006 general funds were estimated at $24.7 billion for resources and $24.5 billion for expenditures. In fiscal year 2004, federal government grants to Pennsylvania were $19.9 billion.

On 5 January 2006 the federal government released $100 million in emergency contingency funds targeted to the areas with the greatest need, including $7.7 million for Pennsylvania.

TAXATION

In 2005, Pennsylvania collected $27,263 million in tax revenues or $2,193 per capita, which placed it 22nd among the 50 states in per capita tax burden. The national average was $2,192 per capita. Property taxes accounted for 0.2% of the total; sales taxes, 29.6%; selective sales taxes, 18.9%; individual income taxes, 30.4%; corporate income taxes, 6.2%; and other taxes, 14.7%.

SOCIAL WELFARE

In 2004, about 487,000 people received unemployment benefits, with the average weekly unemployment benefit at $294. For 2005, the estimated average monthly participation in the food stamp program included about 1,042,809 persons (471,960 households); the average monthly benefit was about $88.28 per person. That year, the total of benefits paid through the state for the food stamp program was about $1.1 billion.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the system of federal welfare assistance that officially replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) in 1997, was reauthorized through the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. TANF is funded through federal block grants that are divided among the states based on an equation involving the number of recipients in each state. In 2004, the Pennsylvania TANF program had 231,000 recipients; state and federal expenditures on this TANF program totaled $346 million in fiscal year 2003.

Federal Supplemental Security Income payments in December 2004 went to 316,917 Pennsylvania residents, averaging $437 a month.

HOUSING

Faced with a decaying housing stock, Philadelphia during the 1970s and 1980s encouraged renovation of existing units along with the construction of new ones, effectively revitalizing several neighborhoods. About 22.4% of all units in the state were built in the period from 1970 to 1989.

In 2004, there were 5,385,729 housing units in Pennsylvania, 4,817,757 of which were occupied; 72.8% were owner-occupied. About 57.6% of all units were single-family, detached homes. About 30.7% of all units were built in 1939 or earlier. In 2004, utility gas and fuel oil were the most common sources of energy for heating. It was estimated that 135,756 units lacked telephone services, 23,755 lacked complete plumbing facilities, and 28,415 lacked complete kitchen facilities. The average household had 2.48 members.

In 2004, 49,700 new privately owned housing units were authorized for construction. The median home value was $116,520. The median monthly cost for mortgage owners was $1,114. Renters paid a median of $611 per month. In September 2005, the state received grants of $450,000 from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for rural housing and economic development programs. For 2006, HUD allocated to the state over $50 million in community development block grants. The city of Philadelphia was awarded over $53 million in community development block grants.

EDUCATION

Pennsylvania fell behind many of its neighbors in establishing a free public school system. From colonial times until the 1830s, almost all instruction in reading and writing took place in private schools. Called "dame schools" in the cities and "neighborhood schools" in rural areas, they offered primary courses, usually taught by women in their own homes. In addition, the Quakers, Moravians, and Scots-Irish Presbyterians all formed their own private schools, emphasizing religious study. Many communities also set up secondary schools, called academies, on land granted by the state; by 1850, there were 524 academies, some of which later developed into colleges. A public school law passed in 1834 was not mandatory in the school districts but was still unpopular. Thaddeus Stevens, then a state legislator, is credited with saving the law from repeal in 1835. Two years later, more than 40% of the state's children were in public schools.

As of 2004, 86.5% of the population 25 years old and older had completed four years of high school, and 25.3% had obtained a bachelor's degree or higher.

The total enrollment for fall 2002 in Pennsylvania's public schools stood at 1,817,000. Of these, 1,242,000 attended schools from kindergarten through grade eight, and 575,000 attended high school. Approximately 76.3% of the students were white, 15.8% were black, 5.5% were Hispanic, 2.3% were Asian/Pacific Islander, and 0.1% were American Indian/Alaskan Native. Total enrollment was estimated at 1,812,000 in fall 2003 and expected to be 1,676,000 by 2014, a decline of 7.7% during the period 2002 to 2014. Expenditures for public education in 2003/04 were estimated at $20.7 billion or $9,979 per student, the ninth-highest among the 50 states. In fall 2003 there were 316,337 students enrolled in 2,009 private schools. Since 1969, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has tested public school students nationwide. The resulting report, The Nation's Report Card, stated that in 2005 eighth graders in Pennsylvania scored 281 out of 500 in mathematics compared with the national average of 278.

As of fall 2002, there were 654,826 students enrolled in college or graduate school; minority students comprised 16.4% of total postsecondary enrollment. In 2005 Pennsylvania had 262 degree-granting institutions including 44 public four-year schools, 21 public two-year schools, and 98 nonprofit, private four-year schools. Indiana University of Pennsylvania, established in 1872, accounted for about 15% of enrollment. Four universities have nonprofit corporate charters but are classified as state-related: Pennsylvania State University, Temple University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Lincoln University. Of these, Penn State is by far the largest. Founded in 1855 as the Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania, Penn State now has its main campus at University Park and 23 smaller campus locations statewide as well as a Penn State World Campus that allows online access to a Penn State education.

State-aided private institutions receiving designated grants from the legislature include the University of Pennsylvania, the largest of these schools, founded in 1740 by Benjamin Franklin as the Philadelphia Academy and Charitable School; among its noteworthy professional schools is the Wharton School of Business. Other private colleges and universities, also eligible to receive state aid through a per-pupil funding formula, include Bryn Mawr College (founded in 1880), Bucknell University (1846) in Lewisburg, Carnegie-Mellon University (1900) in Pittsburgh, Dickinson College (1733) in Carlisle, Duquesne University (1878) in Pittsburgh, Haverford College (1833), Lafayette College (1826), Lehigh University (1865), Swarthmore College (1864), and Villanova University (1842). The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) offers higher education grants, guarantees private loans, and administers work-study programs for Pennsylvania students.

ARTS

The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) was established in 1966 and consists of a Council comprised of 19 members15 private citizens appointed by the governor and 4 members of the General Assembly. In 2005, the PCA and other Pennsylvania arts organizations received 103 grants totaling $3,135,800 from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Pennsylvania Humanities Council (PHC) was established in 1973. In 2005, the National Endowment for the Humanities contributed $6,181,059 for 59 state programs. The state and various private sources also provided funding for arts programs.

Philadelphia was the cultural capital of the colonies and rivaled New York as a theatrical center during the 1800s. In 1984, Philadelphia had five fully developed resident theaters, ranking third in the nation after New York and California. As of 2005 a number of regional and summer stock theaters were scattered throughout the state, the most noteworthy being in Bucks County, Lancaster, and Pittsburgh. The Bucks County Playhouse is recognized as the State Theater and carries a rich history of featuring well-known stars such as Grace Kelly, Robert Redford, and Walter Matthau. The Bucks County Playhouse is also noted for premiering the famous dramas, Harvey, Nobody Loves Me (Barefoot In The Park) and Give 'Em Hell Harry.

Pennsylvania's most significant contribution to the performing arts has come through music. One of America's first important songwriters, Stephen Foster, was born in 1826 in Lawrenceville and grew up in Pittsburgh. Some of Foster's songs include, "Oh! Susanna" (1848), "Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair" (1854), and "Old Folks at Home (Swanee River)" (1851).The Pittsburgh Symphony, which began performing in 1896, first achieved prominence under Victor Herbert. Temporarily disbanded in 1910, the symphony was revived under Fritz Reiner in 1927; subsequent music directors have included William Steinberg and Andre Previn. Even more illustrious has been the career of the Philadelphia Orchestra, founded in 1900. Among this orchestra's best-known permanent conductors have been Leopold Stokowski and Eugene Ormandy, both of whom recorded extensively.

An important dance company, the Pennsylvania Ballet, is based in Philadelphia, which is also home to the Curtis Institute of Music, founded in 1924. Pittsburgh hosts the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater (PBT). In 1989 PBT began conducting educational programs; as of 2005 the outreach programs had reached over 65,000 students from more than 200 school districts. The National Choreographic Center was established in the mid-1980s in Carlisle in conjunction with the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet School. Opera companies include the Fulton Opera House in Lancaster, Pittsburgh Opera, and Opera Company of Philadelphia.

In 1997 the Philadelphia Fringe Festival was founded. Under a changed title, the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe evolved into a 16-day festival. The festival, which includes theater, dance, music, poetry and puppetry performances, has been recorded as drawing over 47,000 attendants. The American Poetry Review, published in Philadelphia, has become one of the nation's premier poetry journals. Favorite tourist sites featuring the arts include the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and the Edgar J. Kaufmann House, more commonly known as, Fallingwater, a home designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in Bear Run.

COMMUNICATIONS

Philadelphia already had mail links to surrounding towns and to Maryland and Virginia by 1737, when Benjamin Franklin was named deputy postmaster of the city, but service was slow and not always reliable. During the remainder of the century, significant improvements in delivery were made, but some townspeople devised ingenious ways of transmitting information even faster than the mails. Philadelphia stock exchange brokers, for instance, communicated with agents in New York by flashing coded signals with mirrors and lights from a series of high points across New Jersey, thereby receiving stock prices on the same day they were transacted. By 1846, the first telegraph service in the state linked Harrisburg and Lancaster.

In 2004, 95.6% of Pennsylvania's households had telephones. Additionally, by June of that same year there were 6,420,037 mobile wireless telephone subscribers.

PRESS

Benjamin Franklin may have been colonial Pennsylvania's most renowned publisher, but its first was Andrew Bradford, whose American Weekly Mercury, established in 1719, was the third newspaper to appear in the colonies. Founded nine years later, the Pennsylvania Gazette was purchased by Franklin in 1730 and served as the springboard for Poor Richard's Almanack.

During the 1800s, newspapers sprang up in all the major cities and many small communities. By 1880, Pittsburgh had 10 daily newspapersmore than any other city its size. After a series of mergers and closings, however, it is left with only one paper todaythe Post-Gazette. Philadelphia has two newspapers, the Inquirer and the Daily News. The Inquirer, founded in 1829, has won numerous awards for its investigative reporting.

In 2005, Pennsylvania had 50 morning newspapers, 31 evening newspapers, and 41 Sunday papers.

FAMOUS PENNSYLVANIANS

Johan Printz (b.Sweden, 15921663), the 400-lb, hard-drinking, hard-swearing, and hard-ruling governor of New Sweden, was Pennsylvania's first European resident of note. The founder of Pennsylvania was William Penn (b.England, 16441718), a Quaker of sober habits and deep religious beliefs. Most extraordinary of all Pennsylvanians, Benjamin Franklin (b.Massachusetts, 170690), a printer, author, inventor, scientist, legislator, diplomat, and statesman, served the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and US governments in a variety of posts.

Only one native Pennsylvanian, James Buchanan (17911868), has ever become US president. Buchanan was a state assemblyman, five-term US representative, two-term US senator, secretary of state, and minister to Russia and then to Great Britain before entering the White House as a 65-year-old bachelor in 1857. As president, he tried to maintain the Union by avoiding extremes and preaching compromise, but his toleration of slavery was abhorrent to abolitionists and his desire to preserve the Union was obnoxious to secessionists. Dwight D. Eisenhower (b.Texas, 18901969) retired to a farm in Gettysburg after his presidency was over. George M. Dallas (17921864), Pennsylvania's only US vice president, was James K. Polk's running mate.

The six Pennsylvanians who have served on the US Supreme Court have all been associate justices: James Wilson (174298), Henry Baldwin (17801844), Robert C. Grier (17941870), William Strong (180895), George Shiras Jr. (18321924), and Owen J. Roberts (18751955). Controversial supreme court nominee Robert Heron Bock (b.Pennsylvania 1927) served as a federal judge for many years.

Many other Pennsylvanians have held prominent federal positions. Albert Gallatin (b.Switzerland, 17611849), brilliant secretary of the treasury under Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, later served as minister to France and then to Great Britain. Richard Rush (17801859) was Madison's attorney general and John Quincy Adams's secretary of the treasury. A distinguished jurist, Jeremiah Sullivan Black (181083) was Buchanan's attorney general and later his secretary of state. John Wanamaker (18381922), an innovative department store merchandiser, served as postmaster general under Benjamin Harrison. Philander C. Knox (18531921) was Theodore Roosevelt's attorney general and William Howard Taft's secretary of state. Financier Andrew C. Mellon (18551937) was secretary of the treasury under Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover. Recent Pennsylvanians in high office include Richard Helms (19132002), director of the US Central Intelligence Agency from 1966 to 1973, and Alexander Haig (b.1924), former commander of NATO forces in Europe, chief of staff under Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan's first choice for secretary of state.

Three US senators, Simon Cameron (17991889), Matthew Quay (18331904), and Boies Penrose (18601921), are best known as leaders of the powerful Pennsylvania Republican machine. Senator Joseph F. Guffey (18701959) sponsored legislation to stabilize the bituminous coal industry. After serving as reform mayor of Philadelphia, Joseph S. Clark (19011990) also distinguished himself in the Senate, and Hugh Scott (190094) was Republican minority leader from 1969 to 1977. Outstanding representatives from Pennsylvania include Thaddeus Stevens (17921868), leader of radical Republicans during the Civil War era; David Wilmot (181468), author of the proviso attempting to prohibit slavery in territory acquired from Mexico; and Samuel J. Randall (182890), speaker of the House of Representatives from 1876 to 1881.

Other notable historical figures were Joseph Galloway (b.Maryland, 1729?1803), a loyalist; Robert Morris (England, 17341806), a Revolutionary financier; and Betsy Ross (Elizabeth Griscom, 17521836), the seamstress who allegedly stitched the first American flag. Pamphleteer Thomas Paine (England, 17371809), pioneer Daniel Boone (17341820), and General Anthony Wayne (174596) also distinguished themselves during this period. In the Civil War, General George B. McClellan (182685) led the Union army on the Peninsula and at the Battle of Antietam, while at the Battle of Gettysburg, Generals George Gordon Meade (b.Spain, 181572) and Winfield Scott Hancock (182486) both showed their military prowess.

Important state governors include John W. Geary (181973), Samuel W. Pennypacker (18431916), Robert E. Pattison (b.Maryland, 18501904), Gifford Pinchot (b.Connecticut 18651946), James H.

Pennsylvanians have won Nobel Prizes in every category except literature. General George C. Marshall (18801959), chief of staff of the US Army in World War II and secretary of state when the European Recovery Program (Marshall Plan) was adopted, won the 1953 Nobel Peace Prize. Simon Kuznets (b.Russia, 190185) received the 1971 Nobel Prize in economic science for work on economic growth, and Herbert A. Simon (b.Wisconsin, 19162001) received the 1978 award for work on decision making in economic organizations; in 1980, Lawrence R. Klein (b.Nebraska, 1920) was honored for his design and application of econometric models. In physics, Otto Stern (b.Germany, 18881969) won the 1943 prize for work on the magnetic momentum of protons. In chemistry, Theodore W. Richards (18681928) won the 1914 Nobel Prize for determining the atomic weight of many elements, and Christian Boehmer Anfinsen (191695) won the 1972 award for pioneering studies in enzymes. In physiology or medicine, Philip S. Hench (18961965) won in 1950 for his discoveries about hormones of the adrenal cortex, Haldane K. Hartline (190383) won in 1967 for work on the human eye, and Howard M. Temin (193494) was honored in 1975 for the study of tumor viruses.

Many other Pennsylvanians were distinguished scientists. Ebenezer Kinnersly (171178) studied electricity, and Benjamin Franklin's grandson Alexander Dallas Bache (180667) was an expert on magnetism. Caspar Wistar (b.Germany, 17611818) and Thomas Woodhouse (17701809) pioneered the study of chemistry, while William Maclure (b.Scotland, 17631840) and James Mease (17711846) were early geologists.

Powderly (18491924), leaders of the Knights of Labor; Philip Murray (b.Scotland, 18861952), president of the CIO; and David J. MacDonald (190279), leader of the steel-workers. Among economic theorists, Henry George (183997) was the unorthodox advocate of the single tax. Florence Kelley (18591932) was an important social reformer, as is Bayard Rustin (19101987).

Important early religious leaders, all born in Germany, include Henry Melchior Muhlenberg (171187), organizer of Pennsylvania's Lutherans; Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf (17001760), a Morovian leader; and Johann Conrad Beissel (16901768), founder of the Ephrata Cloister.

With the largest city, Philadelphia, which was the principal seat of Patriot government during the Revolution, and with one of the largest land areas, Pennsylvania should have a correspondingly high number of historical sites. There are several reasons why Pennsylvania, like Virginia, takes up fewer pages in this guide than, for example, New York and South Carolina. First, there was considerably less Whig-Loyalist warfare and operations on the frontier. Second, major military operations were limited to the last half of 1777, which ended with the British in possession of Philadelphia for nine months (26 September 1777 to 18 June 1778). Finally, economic prosperity, the greatest enemy of historic preservation, has buried many colonial regions under industrial development.

State historical agencies and many county tourist-historical offices have done an exceptionally thorough job of making available information about colonial and Revolutionary sites.

The Guide to the Historical Markers of Pennsylvania is unquestionably the finest publication of this type, a model for other states. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), as the official agency of the commonwealth for the conservation of its historic heritage, undertook in 1946 a program of erecting and maintaining historical markers at all points associated with "events and personalities of genuine significance to the history of the Commonwealth as a whole." This goal has been achieved with thoroughness. And, of most importance to persons with a mature interest in these sites, the text and location of each marker is included (by county) in the guide mentioned above, and this publication is thoroughly indexed. Revised in 2000, this guide lists over 1,800 markers. It and a variety of other publications that outline the state's colonial past can be purchased by contacting the PHMC. Phone: (800) 747-7790.

Pennsylvania does a remarkable job of maintaining more than fifty state historic properties, state historical museums, National Park Service sites, and landmarks that are administered by independent state commissions. These are listed, briefly described, and plotted in "The Pennsylvania Trail of History," a folder published by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.

Barren Hill

Barren Hill, northwest suburbs of Philadelphia. When Washington received information that the British were preparing to evacuate Philadelphia, he sent a strong force under Lafayette from the Valley Forge encampment to establish an outpost between the opposing armies. Lafayette was given three missions: to gather additional information of British preparations, to attack enemy foraging parties, and to protect Valley Forge. With more than two thousand troops and five guns, Lafayette marched from Valley Forge on 18 May 1778, crossed the Schuylkill at Swede's Ford, and moved about 4 miles south to set up a strong position on high ground that has retained the name Barren Hill. Lafayette deployed his command carefully, but came close to being trapped and annihilated by a large British force sent out from Philadelphia with this mission. The young Frenchman kept his head and skillfully retreated by way of Matson's Ford (now Conshohocken), using a route unknown to the enemy.

A stone marker on Ridge Pike at Barren Hill commemorates the encampment of Lafayette in this area. The site of St. Peter's Church, where Lafayette set up a delaying position, is occupied by a more recent structure identified by a highway marker on U.S. 422 on Church Road in Barren Hill.

Battle of the Clouds

Battle of the Clouds, Chester County. The action of 16 September 1777 generally associated in the history books with the Admiral Warren and the White Horse Taverns is referred to in markers in Chester County as the Battle of the Clouds. After withdrawing behind the Schuylkill River to the edge of Germantown a few days after his defeat on the Brandywine Battlefield, Washington recrossed the river to contest Lord Howe's advance on Philadelphia. On 15 September he took up positions on what is now called Swedesford Road (Number 15023, running into Pa. 401, then U.S. 30, near Malvern). This was the older and less direct of two "roads to Lancaster." The next day, 16 September, Washington's army ascended hills to the south and set up a line of battle. A major engagement was developing when a record-breaking deluge ruined almost all the forty thousand musket cartridges recently issued to the Patriot army. The British lost little ammunition, being equipped with properly designed cartridge boxes, but Washington had to break off the action and retreat again.

A marker in front of Villa Maria Hall of Immaculata University says the battle took place on or near the 375-acre campus, which occupies the highest ground between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. (The more precise location is given below.) The entrance to the college is on Pa. 352 a little more than a mile south of U.S. 30 (from the junction 3.5 miles west of Paoli).

The Admiral Warren is in good condition and is an upscale eight-suite inn now called the General Warren Inn. It is on a dead-end stretch of the "road to Lancaster" (now the Old Lancaster Highway ) near Warren Avenue in Malvern.

White Horse Tavern (established 1721) is now a private residence on Swedesford Road just west of Planebrook Road. Contemporary accounts refer to the taverns as being about 3 miles apart, which squares with the locations given above and refutes the common assumption that another White Horse Tavern, in the modern village of White Horse, some 6 miles southeast, was involved.

Malin Hall, Washington's headquarters during the battle, is standing on a small side road off Swedesford Road about midway between the taverns mentioned above. It is now a private residence. No longer standing are Boot Tavern, where General Knyphausen's advance guard routed the Pennsylvania militia on Washington's right (west flank), and the Three Tuns Tavern and Hershey's Mill, where General Cornwallis's vanguard hit the opposite flank. The present King Road traces the American line of defense. Known in colonial times as the Indian King Road, it is named for the Indian King Tavern, still standing in the village of Indian King.

The house used before the battle by Cornwallis (marked by a plaque) is on the west side of Pa. 352 about 0.2 mile north of Goshenville.

Bethlehem

Bethlehem, Northampton County. The Moravians, an evangelical sect of Protestants revived in Saxony by Count Nikolaus van Zinzendorf, started settling in Georgia in 1735. When the War of Jenkins's Ear broke out four years later, they looked to the north for a new home. In 1741 the Moravians from Georgia established Nazareth and Bethlehem. By 1775 these places numbered 2,500 people, becoming a strong and lasting force in America's cultural development. The annual Bach Festival stems from the Moravian "service of song" started in 1742. In the city of 73,000 people now more famous for Bethlehem Steel and other manufacturing industries, twenty-one structures survive from the period 1741 to 1775, the oldest being on West Church Street. The six-story Brothers' House (1748) was used during the Revolution as a military hospital. In the Gemeinhouse (Gemein meaning congregation or community), Bethlehem's oldest building (1741), is the Moravian Museum at 66 West Church Street. Phone: (610) 867-0173. The Moravian Archives, a very valuable collection, are on Main Street. For further information on Bethlehem's historic sites call (610) 868-1513.

Brandywine Battlefield

Brandywine Battlefield, Delaware and Chester Counties. The beautiful name and scenic terrain of the Brandywine came close to acquiring very ugly associations in American history. Here Washington's most devoted admirers had cause for grave doubts about his military competence; D. S. Freeman writes, "Washington conducted the Brandywine operations as if he had been in a daze" (Washington, IV, p. 488).

For several months the Americans had been baffled by General Howe's strategic maneuvering from his base in New York City. Washington knew the British would attempt to capture Philadelphia as soon as the weather permitted resumption of military operations in 1777. But would they move overland through New Jersey as they had done the preceding year, or would they take advantage of their naval supremacy to invade from the sea? Late in July 1777 the mystery cleared when the British left New York with a large amphibious force and were subsequently sighted off the Delaware Capes. Washington started moving his army from central New Jersey in the direction of Philadelphia to counter the expected attack, but the British fleet headed back to sea, and its location was unknown to the Americans for the next three weeks. On 22 August it appeared in the Chesapeake, and now Washington finally understood what his adversary was up to. On Sunday 24 August the Rebel army marched through Philadelphia and two days later was in position around Wilmington. The British landed at Head of Elk, Maryland.

Having been at sea for so long, the British needed time to get in shape for offensive operations, and several days passed before Washington could decide on his next move. On 9 September the Americans started leaving the Wilmington area to establish a defensive position along Brandywine Creek to bar the British advance on Philadelphia.

Although this was the obvious place to make a stand, the terrain presented problems. The creek was deep enough to require the British to use established fords, but there were many to chose from.

The British professionals used the standard tactics for a river crossing that can be traced back to Alexander the Great. General Howe sent General Knyphausen and his Germans due east to make a secondary attack against the main fords where the Americans had set up their main line of defense around Chadds Ford. Patriot outposts and delaying forces performed well, and by 8 a.m. the American defenses on the east bank of the Brandywine were eagerly awaiting the expected attack across the creek. There was a spirited exchange of musket and cannon fire across Chadds Ford, but when the enemy showed no inclination to advance farther, Washington must have realized that this was a mere diversionary effort.

Around 11 a.m. the Patriot commander began to receive reports of enemy troop movements that threatened his exposed right flank. But the messages were confusing, not only because the Americans had not properly studied the geography of the region but also because the reports were contradictory. Shortly after 2 p.m., however, Washington was convinced that enough of a threat was developing on his north flank to warrant shifting strength in this direction from positions on the Brandywine that had not yet come under fire from Knyphausen's column. The Americans still believed that Howe's main concentration was opposite Chadds Ford and that no more than two enemy brigades (2,000-3,000 men) were attempting the envelopment.

Actually, it was the main British force, and Howe was repeating the strategy that had been so successful against Washington in the Battle of Long Island (see under new york). Howe personally accompanied this column, which was commanded by Lord Cornwallis and comprised 7,500 of his total force of 12,500 rank and file. Moving north on the Great Valley Road, Howe and Cornwallis led their troops through Trimble's Ford on the west branch of the Brandywine, then eastward across Jeffries' Ford on the east branch, and southeast through Sconnelltown. The British command post was established on Osborne's Hill about 3:30 p.m., line of battle was formed about a mile ahead, generally along Street Road, and an hour later Washington, at his headquarters near Chadds Ford, heard the dreaded sound of enemy cannon far to his flank and rear. At the same time the Germans to his front increased their rate of fire, evidence that their long-expected frontal attack might be starting.

Washington had started the divisions of William Alexander ("Lord Stirling") and Adam Stephen on a march back from the Brandywine toward the Birmingham Meetinghouse after the first reports of an enemy threat in that quarter were received. But he had then sent them orders to halt in place because a new report indicated that no British troops had been seen around the Forks of the Brandywine. At about 2 p.m., however, new intelligence convinced Washington that he should have Alexander and Stephen resume their movement toward the flank and that the division of John Sullivan should also be deployed in this quarter. At 4:30 these three divisions were trying to get their defenses organized when the British attack started. Washington then left the brigades of Anthony Wayne and William Maxwell (with Wayne in overall command) to defend Chadds Ford, ordered Nathanael Greene to move his division cross country toward the Birmingham Meetinghouse from its reserve position around Chadds Ford, and he himself raced to the meetinghouse.

Today a tourist can trace the battle in a driving tour and also, in the spring and fall, a guided van tour sponsored by the PHMC. The driving tour follows a two-lane highway (Birmingham Road) from Sconnelltown, past Osborne's Hill and the Birmingham Meetinghouse through Dilworthtown, down the Old Wilmington Pike to its junction with the new Wilmington Pike (U.S. 202), to the intersection with U.S. 1. All of the driving tour information, as well as all park information, is available by contacting the Brandywine Battlefield Park, which is administered by the PHMC. Park information phone: (610) 459-3342. The battlefield grounds, which make up over 10 square miles, is decimated by development, with the exception of a portion of Sandy Hollow. This area, called Heritage Park, is a designated State Battlefield Site and the grounds of the bloodiest fighting of Brandywine. A considerate local farmer who chose not to sell out to the area's aggressive developers is responsible for this preservation. "The plowed hill" across the highway from the meetinghouse, where the battle started, is now occupied by a large house and crowned by old trees, and most of the ground across which the Guards and Grenadiers attacked is occupied by more of the McMansion-sized, modern-style houses that litter this country's once open fields. A large cemetery covers the area around the meetinghouse, and here a tourist will find the monument to Lafayette and Pulaski. The former was wounded a few hundred yards to the southeast while he was rallying Patriot troops. Young Count Casimir Pulaski had only recently arrived in America when he distinguished himself at the Brandywine while serving as a volunteer aide-de-camp to Washington; four days after the battle he was commissioned a brigadier general by Congress and put in command of the four dragoon regiments recently authorized.

The second position of Washington's was about 0.3 mile southeast of the meetinghouse, on the high ground (now Battle Hill) just beyond today's Wylie Road. Wayne and Maxwell dropped back from the vicinity of Chadds Ford as Knyphausen, pushing forward with overwhelming superiority, joined forces with Cornwallis as night fell. Wayne blocked Knyphausen's attempts to cut off Washington's retreat to Chester, and the shattered Patriot army made good its escape during the night. It had lost eleven cannon and about three hundred men killed; of the six hundred wounded, many were captured. Howe had lost about half that number of men.

A visit to the Brandywine battlefield is interesting to the casual tourist because the region is particularly scenic and rich in associations with the Brandywine School of American art. A personal reconnaissance is rewarding to those who have studied the battle. Many historic points are not marked; except for the previously mentioned van tour, there is no organized self-guided tour of the extensive area over which the opposing forces maneuvered from long before daylight until after dark on that eventful day of 11 September 1777. The PHMC is chiefly concerned with the two historic houses in the 50-acre Brandywine Battlefield State Park; the area encompassed by the battle actually covers more than 30,000 acres. The two houses are the Benjamin Ring House, or "Washington's Headquarters," as it's referred to in the guide; and the Gideon Gilpin House, or "Lafayette's Quarters." The latter has a stunning three hundred-plus-year-old sycamore tree growing so large in the side yard that it takes nine people to reach around it. A reenactment of the battle is held every year in the last week of September (this varies somewhat).

A high-speed, divided highway (U.S. 1) carries a stream of traffic through the southern edge of the battlefield, past the state park in which stand the stone houses used by Washington (burned in 1930 but restored) and Lafayette (original). The houses are open daily for guided tours. The park is about halfway between the village of Chadds Ford and the junction of the Baltimore and Wilmington pikes (now U.S. 1 and U.S. 202) where Washington's army rallied before retreating to Chester. From the village of Chadds Ford the Creek Road (Pa. 100) winds northwest along the foot of the high ground where the Patriots established their main line of defense. This picturesque, two-lane country road provides a view of the bottomland extending a few hundred yards southwest to Brandywine Creek, and a tourist will see clearly why the fords played such a critical role in the strategy of the opposing commanders.

In Kennett Square, on Route 1, 5 miles south of Chapp's Ford, Howe's camp on the eve of battle, the Consolidated School and Presbyterian Home mark the hills on which the British and German troops were bivouacked. Cornwallis and Howe are said to have used the building that survives as Newberrys Store (formerly the Shippen Mansion); Knyphausen's headquarters was in the Unicorn Tavern, Connor's Drugstore in recent years.

The site of Welch's Tavern, where Knyphausen's column made contact with an American patrol about 3 miles east of Kennett Square, is marked at a spot where Pa. 52 turns north from U.S. 1 at Longwood. The Kennett Meetinghouse, where General William Maxwell's light infantry had taken up a delaying position, is standing on U.S. 1, about 1.5 miles west of Chadds Ford and 0.4 mile east of Hammorton, where a marker identifies it.

The Great Valley Road, which Cornwallis followed north, is not today a single road, if it ever was. The British route was initially east on the road to Chadds Ford from Kennett Square for a little more than 3 miles, then north on Schoolhouse Road to Street Road, a few hundred yards east on this road (whose name has been preserved), and then north on the present Red Lion-Northbrook Road. The site of Trimble's Ford on this road is marked on the west branch on County Road 15153, just off Road 15077, and a little more than a mile south of Marshallton.

The latter place is the site of Martin's Tavern, which figures in contemporary accounts of the Battle of the Brandywine. Here Squire Thomas Cheney is alleged to have spent the night before making his legendary ride to warn Washington of the British turning movement. The quiet village of Marshallton dates from the early 1700s. Old buildings, including a Revolutionary War tavern said to be Martin's, have been tastefully restored to form a group of shops and a restaurant.

Taylor's Ford, on the Lancaster Pike east of Marshallton, is now Cope's Bridge, on the outskirts of West Chester. Jeffries' Ford, which Cornwallis reached before 2 p.m., is marked just west of Sconnelltown. From here he moved southeast along the Birmingham Road, as has already been described. In 1915 the major landmarks along this axis of the British advance were marked. Many signs and monuments have since disappeared.

The most useful guide now available is downloadable off the internet at http://www.ushistory.org/brandywine/brandywine.htm. It is also available free at the park. A book on Brandywine is available through the previously mentioned PHMC website. Another good source of information is the Chadds Ford Historical Society, P.O.

Bushy Run Battlefield Park

Bushy Run Battlefield Park, north of Jeannette and just east of Harrison City, on Pa. 993. On a sultry August day in 1763 a British relief column commanded by Colonel Henry Bouquet (1719–1765) was about 26 miles short of its goal, Fort Pitt, which had been besieged by the Indians. (See forks of the ohio). At about 1 p.m. the advance guard was suddenly attacked by a large force of Delawares, Shawnees, Mingoes, and Hurons who had broken off their siege of Fort Pitt to set an ambush. They obviously hoped to repeat the history of Braddock's defeat, which had occurred near this place in 1755.

Two companies of the main body rushed forward to extricate the advance guard, and then the British force hastily organized a perimeter defense on the best ground immediately available. Already tired from a 17-mile march that day, and having covered almost 200 miles from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in less than twenty days, the British regulars and handful of American volunteers held off the Indians for seven hours, when darkness brought a temporary lull in the fighting. During the night the British unloaded flour bags from the 340 horses in the relief column and stacked these to form a central strong point.

At dawn the Indians resumed their heavy firing and waited for heat and exhaustion to weaken the white soldiers. Around 10 a.m. the Indians could see that enemy troops were being withdrawn from the western side of the defensive perimeter and that a general retreat was obviously under way. Confident of success, the Indians attacked the weakened sector, and had penetrated the defensive perimeter when they came in for a series of devastating tactical surprises.

Bouquet had withdrawn two companies to the rear, as if preparing for a withdrawal, but had sent them on a compass course through the heavy woods to attack the south flank of the penetration. The Indians fled in wild confusion from the bayonet attack that followed the surprise fire of these two companies, and then were ambushed by two additional companies of regulars that had infiltrated forward for this purpose.

About sixty dead Indians were counted, but the British had lost eight officers and ninety men killed and wounded in the two days of fighting—a quarter of their total strength. The regulars buried their dead and marched on to Fort Pitt.

The first step in rescuing this site from oblivion was taken in 1918, when schoolchildren of the county donated their pennies to make possible the purchase of 6.5 acres of the battlefield. This became the nucleus of the present 213-acre state park currently managed by the PHMC. A large granite block marks the site of the "flour-bag fort," and trees have been planted to show the first positions taken by the British. There is a museum and a network of drives and walks through the battlefield. The park also has picnic areas and an arboretum. Website: www.bushyrun-battlefield.com; phone: 724-527-5584.

Carlisle

Carlisle, Cumberland county seat. A great amount of small-town charm survives in modern Carlisle despite its location in a region of great economic development. In or just outside the town are sixteen highway historical markers pertaining to the colonial and Revolutionary War periods, and the chamber of commerce has published an admirable map-guide.

Settlers started reaching the area around Carlisle a few years after the first trader, James Letort, arrived in about 1720. The settlement became the center of military activity in Pennsylvania during the Seven Years' War, the jumping-off place from which expeditions made their way along the chain of forts toward the Forks of the Ohio and the Old Northwest.

Carlisle was the place from which John Armstrong's expedition to Kittanning started in 1756, and from which John Forbes's expedition to the Forks of the Ohio started in 1758. In Pontiac's Rebellion, Carlisle was the town where the Swiss colonel Henry Bouquet assembled a relief column of British regulars—men of the Black Watch, the Seventy-seventh Highlanders, and the Royal Americans—to save Fort Pitt, which was being defended by another Swiss mercenary, Captain Simeon Ecuyer. After winning his notable victory at Bushy Run, Bouquet the next year led an expedition into the Old Northwest from Carlisle and decisively defeated the Indians in Pontiac's Rebellion.

Carlisle claims James Wilson as a citizen. Born in Scotland (1742), educated at St. Andrews, Glasgow, and at Edinburgh, Wilson suddenly decided to emigrate to America, and studied law under John Dickinson in Philadelphia. In 1767 he was admitted to the bar, moved to Carlisle, and quickly became its leading lawyer. Rising to prominence as a frontier politician, signer of the Declaration of Independence, statesman, jurist, and large-scale land speculator, he died suddenly (1798) while visiting a friend in Edenton, North Carolina. His body was moved from its grave on a nearby plantation many years later (1906) and reinterred in Christ Church, Philadelphia. The James Wilson Hotel on Pitt Street in central Carlisle is on the site of one of Wilson's many homes (he left for Philadelphia in 1778). The hotel is said to incorporate portions of the original structure.

Dickinson College, at High and West Streets, on Route 11, was founded as a grammar school in 1773 and was named for John Dickinson when chartered as a college in 1783. (The Dickinson School of Law, the oldest law school in Pennsylvania, was not founded until 1834.)

John Armstrong, elderly "hero of Kittanning" (see mention above), served as a brigadier general during the Revolution and was a member of Congress. Although he was at Charleston in June 1776, at the Brandywine in September 1777, at Germantown three weeks later, and with one of the relief columns to the Wyoming Valley in July 1778, he achieved the distinction—quite honorably—of seeing no action at any of these historic places. The site of his home is marked at the northeast corner of High and Bedford Streets, and his grave is two blocks away in the Old Graveyard.

William Irvine's house site (also marked) is across the street from Armstrong's. A British naval surgeon during the Seven Years' War, he resigned and settled in Carlisle (1764). Practicing as a physician, he also became an active Patriot politician and was commissioned in January 1776 to raise a regiment of Pennsylvania Continentals for the invasion of Canada. He was captured with Thompson at Trois Rivières in Canada (see below) and paroled less than two months later, but not exchanged for almost three years (6 May 1778). Made a general a year later, he commanded a brigade under Anthony Wayne in New York and New Jersey before taking command at Fort Pitt in March 1782. On the frontier General Irvine continued his unsuccessful military career, raising volunteers to augment the small garrison of two hundred regulars he found there and sending out the expedition that ended in disaster near modern Upper Sandusky, Ohio (4-5 June 1782). Irvine left Fort Pitt and resigned from the army in the winter of 1783. Remaining active in public life and military affairs, he moved to Philadelphia around 1800, and died there in 1804.

William Thompson, who led the First Regiment of Pennsylvania Riflemen from Carlisle in July 1775 to join Washington's army around Boston, was another famous man of the region, and he is buried in the Old Graveyard. Born in Ireland, Thompson settled near Carlisle and became a surveyor and justice of the peace. He was a captain in Armstrong's expedition to Kittanning (1756). With Edward Hand as his second in command, Thompson led the remarkable march of his frontiersmen to Boston, where they became the terror not only of the besieged British but also of those responsible for discipline in the American camp. Congress promoted Thompson to brigadier general on 1 March 1776, before Washington could express his opinion that this aggressive but otherwise limited leader was not fit for such high command. Leading reinforcements up the Hudson to Canada, General Thompson commanded the disastrous attack on Trois Rivières on 8 June 1776, and was among the 236 taken prisoner there. He was paroled and went to Philadelphia, but was not exchanged (for Baron Riedesel) until four years later. Meanwhile, he became so offensive in agitating for his exchange that Congress censured him and Thomas McKean won a libel suit against him, being awarded almost £6,000 in damages. Thompson died in Carlisle less than a year after being exchanged, and is buried there.

Ephraim Blaine's house site is marked opposite the site of the Green Tree Inn (where Benjamin Franklin stayed in 1753 while making an important treaty with the Indians). Blaine started as commissary of the Eighth Pennsylvania, became commissary of supplies for the Continental army on 1 April 1777, and during the Yorktown campaign was commissary general of Washington's army (with the rank of colonel, not general). The surviving Blaine House, at 4 North Hanover Street, was built in 1794 for a son. It has handsome external features visible from the street and is very well preserved.

The public square has been the center of Carlisle life since it was laid out in 1751. Just to the west is the site of the first fort authorized by Pennsylvania, laid out "in the middle of this town" by Governor Morris in July 1755 after news was received of Braddock's defeat. Later called Fort Lowther by some writers, it is referred to in a revised highway marker as Carlisle Fort. (The map location is between Hanover and Pitt Streets on West High Street. The latter is U.S. 11.) Conspicuous in this vicinity is a stone building known as the Main Magazine, so identified in the National Survey list of "Sites Also Noted" (1964), but for some reason not recognized by a state highway marker or mentioned in chamber of commerce literature.

Many historic or architecturally significant structures still stand in Carlisle. One is the Thomas Butler Gun Shop (1764), a small stone house on the south side of Dickinson Alley and 50 feet west of Pitt Street. Thomas Butler and his five sons served in the Revolution. Just outside Carlisle on U.S. 11 is Carlisle Barracks, on the site of a munitions works erected in 1776 and then called Washingtonburg, the first place in this country named for George Washington. The powder magazine, now called the Hessian Guardhouse, a one-story stone structure built in 1777 by Hessian prisoners, has been restored as a museum (hours limited; phone: [717] 245-4101).

The Old Graveyard, just east of the highway marker on South Hanover between South and Walnut Streets, contains the remains of several important Revolutionary War persons in addition to Armstrong and Thompson, mentioned above.

"Molly Pitcher" is the most publicized attraction of Carlisle today. A German Palatine servant, Mary Ludwig married a barber, John Caspar Hays, who marched off to the war five years later. Like many other women, Ludwig went along. In the Battle of Monmouth, on one of the hottest days since temperatures were recorded in America, Molly Ludwig Hays carried water to the troops. ("Molly" was a common nickname for Margaret, Mary, and other names.) When her husband was wounded, she took his place, manning a ramrod to keep a gun in service. John Hays died shortly after the Revolution, whereupon Ludwig married a wartime comrade of her husband's, George McCauley, who turned out to be a shiftless husband. Ludwig left him, supported herself as a washerwoman and nurse, and received some grants of money. She lived in Carlisle to the ripe old age of seventy-nine. The site of her home is about midway between Bedford and East Streets on the south side of North Street, not far from the army post. Mary Ludwig Hays McCauley, depicted in the heroic statue of Molly Pitcher in the Old Graveyard as the stocky young woman of her prime (she was about twenty-four years old at Monmouth), was in her later years a pipe-smoking, tobacco-chewing, whiskey-drinking "old soldier" who could swear with the best of them.

Chester

Chester, Delaware River below Philadelphia, Delaware County. The Swedes called it Upland, and William Penn renamed it Chester. It is the second-oldest white settlement in Pennsylvania (after Tinicum, which was founded in 1643), seat of the colony's government from 1681 to 1682. The colonial courthouse (built in 1724; restored in 1920), said to be the oldest public building in continuous use in the United States, is at Market Street near Fifth. Also standing on Market Street near Mary Street is the Friends Meeting of 1736, remodeled in 1883 and used as a meetinghouse until 1926. The Quaker Burial Ground, on Edgemont Avenue between Sixth and Seventh Streets, established in 1683, contains graves of prominent men of the colonial era.

During the Revolution, Chester figured as the place to which Washington retreated after his defeat at Brandywine and as the place for the encampment for his army on 5 September 1781, after the soldiers had passed through Philadelphia en route to triumph at Yorktown, Virginia. That campsite is marked on U.S. 13 east of the present city line, at Morton and McDowell Streets.

Cornwall Furnace

Cornwall Furnace, Lebanon County, on U.S. 322 in the town of Cornwall. Rich sources of iron ore in this area (the "Cornwall Banks" are still being mined and were not surpassed in yield until the Lake Superior ranges were developed) were acquired by Peter Grubb in the 1730s. In 1742 he established the furnace at Cornwall, which remained in operation until 1883. The furnace produced forty-two cannon and other items for the Continental forces during the Revolution. One-third of the workers during the Revolution were slaves or indentured servants. The furnace was bought in 1798 by Robert Coleman and given to the state of Pennsylvania by his great-granddaughter in 1932. It is one of the best preserved of the early ironworks, and today's visitor will see the red sandstone structure that dates from a remodeling of 1856 to 1857. The PHMC manages the site and makes available a thorough interpretive center with guided tours, and a visitors center which serves as a museum. It is open Tuesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Phone: (717) 272-9711. (See hopewell village national historic site.)

Coryell's Ferry

Coryell's Ferry, on the Delaware River where U.S. 202 crosses the river between New Hope, Pennsylvania, and Lambertville, New Jersey. This ferry figures prominently in accounts of military operations of the Revolution. Washington's army used it on four occasions. D. S. Freeman notes in his biography of Washington that "the crossing was a 'base point' in the reckoning of marches. In Gates Papers … is a table of distances from 'General Washington's Camp … to Coryell's Ferry' and thence, stage by stage, to Albany. The distance from the ferry to Albany was reckoned at 220 miles" (Washington, IV, p. 447n). (It is actually 192 miles.)

Cornwallis marched on the ferry site, hoping to find boats to continue Lord Howe's pursuit of the Patriot army across the Delaware, in early December 1776. Part of Washington's army camped at Coryell's en route to the Brandywine (others crossing at Trenton and Easton), and moved through there from Valley Forge in the maneuvers that led to Monmouth.

Crooked Billet Skirmish Site

Crooked Billet Skirmish Site, Hatboro, Montgomery County. The morning of 1 May 1778 a force of seven hundred British light infantry and mounted troops from occupied Philadelphia surprised the detachment of fewer than sixty Pennsylvania militia under General John Lacey at Crooked Billet. Although virtually surrounded and opposed by two exceptionally able British leaders, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Abercromby and Major John Graves Simcoe, Lacey fought his way out, retreated 2 miles, and shook off pursuit by suddenly changing direction. The Patriots lost twenty-six killed, about ten seriously wounded, and all their baggage. British losses were nine men wounded.

A monument to this battle lies near where the Hatboro elementary school is located.

Daniel Boone Homestead

Daniel Boone Homestead, 1 mile north of Birdsboro in Berks County at 400 Daniel Boone Road. The entrance is marked by a state historical marker. Another marker is on U.S. 422, about 5 miles southeast of Reading, at Baumstown.

The present two-story stone structure, restored and now serving as a museum, was built on the foundations of the log cabin where Daniel Boone was born in 1734. It is believed that Daniel's father built part of the existing house before he took his family to North Carolina in 1750.

America's most famous frontiersman started acquiring his skills at the Boone homestead, where he lived until he was sixteen. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission has directed the restoration of the house and, in addition to preserving 579 acres of open space, has created a museum of the Pennsylvania pioneer. Near the house are a blacksmith shop, a stone smokehouse, a bank barn, and other structures of the frontier farm and village. A visitors center, picnic facilities, and hiking trails are on the site, which is open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. (Reduced schedule during January and February.) Phone: 610-582-4900.

Durham Village

Durham Village, near Riegelsville, Bucks County. The foundation of Durham Furnace (1727–1789) survives in the base of an old mill (marked). The furnace in the wilderness was fed ore from Rattlesnake and Mine Hills, making cannon and shot in the Colonial Wars and during the Revolution. Less well remembered but more important, perhaps, than the output of the furnace were the heavy-cargo boats designed and built by Robert Durham at the mouth of Durham Creek. Of shallow draft, 40 to 60 feet long and 8 feet wide, sailed or poled by four or five men, and able to carry as much as 15 tons, Durham boats were for river transportation what the Conestoga wagon was for colonial roads. (Schenectady, New York, became a major center of their construction about the time of the Revolution.) The most famous action of Colonel John Glover's Marbleheaders's amphibious careers came when they manned the unfamiliar Durham boats in subzero weather to put 2,400 Rebel troops, eighteen cannon, and horses of Washington's army across the Delaware and bring them all back within a space of thirty-six hours and without a loss. This was, of course, the famous crossing of the Delaware in December 1776 for the raid on Trenton, New Jersey.

Easton

Easton, at the junction of Lehigh River with the Delaware, in Northampton County. Since colonial times the settlement laid out in 1752 at the Forks of the Delaware has been a communications center. A famous Indian treaty was negotiated here in 1758, in which Pennsylvania agreed to limit westward expansion of settlement to the Allegheny Mountains. From Easton principal colonial roads went northwest through the Great Swamp and the Shades of Death to Wilkes-Barre in the Wyoming Valley and northeast to Goshen, New York. The site of David Martin's Ferry, important during the Revolution, is in the park at Front and Ferry Streets. The Sullivan-Clinton Expedition (see under new york) was organized at Easton. The house of George Taylor, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, built in 1757 by William Parsons, surveyor general, is standing at Fourth and Ferry Streets.

Ephrata Cloisters

Ephrata Cloisters, Lancaster County. Eleven extensively restored eighteenth-century buildings of this communal religious community of Seventh-Day Baptists founded in 1728 to 1733 are preserved as a state historic shrine by the PHMC. Germanic in culture, Ephrata Cloisters had a significant impact on colonial intellectual life although it numbered only three hundred persons at the height of its prominence in about 1750. In September 1777 several hundred casualties from the Battle of Brandywine were brought here. Two of the three orders at the Cloisters died out in the early 1800s, and the surviving buildings ceased to be used in 1934. A highway marker on U.S. 222 just south of the U.S. 322 underpass gives directions to the nearby site.

Forks of the Ohio

Forks of the Ohio, Point State Park, in Pittsburgh's "Golden Triangle." One of America's most important historical sites, Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle is all the more remarkable as a triumph of cultural conservation. The 36-acre Point State Park, where the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers join to form the mighty Ohio, has been created in recent years by stripping away the overgrowth of steel and concrete of industrial prosperity. Fifteen acres of railroad tracks were removed, commercial structures were blasted, and bridges and traffic arteries were relocated. Archaeological work has established the sites of Forts Duquesne and Pitt and uncovered much valuable historical data. Plaques throughout the park interpret the area's historical significance. The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources operate Point State Park. Phone: (412) 471-0235.

The Fort Pitt Museum has been built on the site of the Monongahela bastion. It features a model of Fort Pitt, 20 feet in diameter, that is explained to the visitor by a recorded narration coordinated with a system of miniature spotlights. To depict the long history of the Forks of the Ohio there are sixty exhibits in the main museum area, including full-scale replicas of a trader's cabin, a barracks room, and an early Pittsburgh parlor. The flag bastion has been restored, and a small brick blockhouse built in 1763 by Henry Bouquet has survived. A trace of Fort Duquesne is in the center of the park. Promenades have been constructed along the waterfronts, and stone bleachers for three thousand persons have been erected along the Allegheny side. A modern touch of panache is furnished by the white plume of a water jet in a large circular pond at the tip of the triangle. Phone: (412) 281-9284.

The Forks of the Ohio drew French, British, and American attention like a great magnet from the mid-eighteenth century through the early years of the nineteenth. Not only the European colonial powers but also the American colonists themselves contested possession of this spot in the wilderness, and it was not until 1779 that Virginia agreed that it rightfully belonged to Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, that point was highly academic because there were French and Indian claims to be dealt with.

In 1731 a few Frenchmen tried to establish a settlement at the forks but they were quickly driven off by the Indians. In 1748 the colonies of Pennsylvania and Virginia started a vigorous expansion of trading activities into the upper Ohio that caused the French to react by increasing their own efforts. Within three years the French gained the upper hand by starting construction of a line of posts from the Great Lakes toward the Forks of the Ohio, wiping out British posts along the way. (Among these were Pickawillany, now Piqua, Ohio, and Venango, now Franklin, Pennsylvania.)

The twenty-one-year-old Washington was sent in 1753 by the governor of Virginia to warn the French to withdraw. After an arduous trek through the wilderness, visiting the forks in November, passing through Venango, and finally making contact with the appropriate French authorities at Fort Le Boeuf, where modern Waterford, Pennsylvania, is located, the Virginian was told politely but firmly that the French had no intention of abandoning their claims to the upper Ohio.

In January of the next year (1754) the Virginians of the Ohio Company began building a fort at the Forks of the Ohio. Three months later a five-hundred-man French expedition captured the half-completed works, permitted the Americans to withdraw, and then constructed Fort Duquesne on the site. Washington was leading the vanguard of a Virginia regiment advancing to protect the fort builders when he met them on the trail and learned that he was too late. His subsequent operations, setting the stage for the Seven Years' War, are covered under Fort Necessity National Battlefield (below). The British and their colonists continued to pyramid their military misadventures at the hands of the French and Indians, the capstone being Braddock's defeat on 9 July 1755, about 8 miles east of Fort Duquesne.

Three years later, on 25 November 1758, General John Forbes reached his objective at the Forks of the Ohio after a remarkable march and found that the French had burned and abandoned their fort the preceding day. The great William Pitt, for whom Forbes now named the place, had recently come to power in England and was sending competent military commanders to lead British regulars and American volunteers against the French. Already feeling the consequences of Pitt's strategy, the French had wisely decided to abandon their far-flung out-posts in the Old Northwest.

During the three years of its existence, however, Fort Duquesne had been the base for French and Indian raids on frontier settlements of the English colonies. Having run up an impressive record of "too little and too late," the colonial authorities followed up by doing what turned out to be "too much and too late": they built Fort Pitt in the finest tradition of European military engineering, making it the largest and most sophisticated fort on the American frontier. Pentagonal in trace, surrounded by a ditch, it had walls of earth with bastions at each angle. Inside the wall were buildings of frame and brick. Started in September 1759, the work took two years.

The French threat to the frontier had ended, however. In 1763 the power vacuum resulting from elimination of French military leadership in the Old Northwest caused the great Indian uprising known as Pontiac's War, and Fort Pitt was able to justify its existence.

Pontiac's War began in May 1763 and within a matter of weeks the Indians had wiped out nine British posts and innumerable settlements between Niagara and Detroit. On 29 May they killed two British regulars outside Fort Pitt and attacked several isolated settlements.

The commander of Fort Pitt, Colonel Henry Bouquet, was in Philadelphia when the first reports of Pontiac's War reached the colonial authorities. Captain Simeon Ecuyer, another Swiss adventurer in the British service, was temporarily in command of the frontier post, and he was perfectly suited to the task. The American settlers, panic-stricken and ineffectual in their own self-defense, created a refugee problem that seriously impeded Bouquet's efforts to relieve the siege of the fort.

Ecuyer ordered all settlers into the fort and organized the men into two militia companies to reinforce his own regulars. His garrison numbered 250 regulars and militia initially, and increased as refugees straggled in and decreased as disease took its toll. But Ecuyer maintained his confidence and settled down for a siege while Bouquet organized a relief column of 460 regulars at Carlisle, more than 150 air-line miles away.

A little less than two months after they first appeared around Fort Pitt, the Indians launched an unsuccessful final attack on 27 July and then headed east to deal with the relief column that had reached Fort Ligonier, 45 miles away. At Bushy Run Battlefield, 26 miles east of Fort Pitt, they came very close to repeating their triumph of 1755 by annihilating Bouquet's column. But Bouquet, long a student and practitioner of wilderness warfare, beat the Indians at their own game, and on 10 August he reached Fort Pitt. One of the five outworks subsequently built by Bouquet to strengthen the fort has survived.

As political disturbances on the eve of the Revolution increased the need for British regulars, these were progressively withdrawn from the frontier posts. In 1772 Fort Pitt was abandoned by the British and partially dismantled. Early in 1774 the notorious Dr. John Connolly, agent for Governor Dunmore of Virginia, occupied the fort with an armed band. His purpose initially was to strengthen Virginia's claims to the region, but because of his deliberate efforts to provoke the Indians, the episode known as Dunmore's War occurred. This ended with the victory of the colonists at Point Pleasant, West Virginia.

Meanwhile, the town of Pittsburgh had been laid out in 1764 and had gained the distinction of being the first permanent English settlement west of the Alleghenies. Most of the early settlers were Virginians, and Pittsburgh grew rapidly as a base for traders, backwoodsmen, and pioneers moving westward. A fifth and last fort, named Lafayette, or Fayette, was built during the winter of 1791 to 1792 a quarter of a mile above Fort Pitt. Needed for protection when Indian troubles flamed for the last time in the Old Northwest, it was a base for the campaigns of "Mad Anthony" Wayne that put out the fire. This post furnished troops in the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794 and was used in the War of 1812 as a training center and supply depot. In 1813 the government sold the site, which is identified today by a marker on Ninth Street just north of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Fort Augusta

Fort Augusta, in Sunbury. The pacifistic policies of Pennsylvania toward the Indians had succeeded for almost three-quarters of a century in preventing hostilities on this colony's western frontier, but the colony divided over the proper strategy in the Seven Years' War. The French were building a chain of forts in the upper Ohio River Valley to protect their communications between Canada and Louisiana. Braddock's defeat in 1755 gave the Pennsylvanians cause for serious alarm, though there was no indication that either the French or the Indians would attack the one colony with which they had always gotten along. Benjamin Franklin led a faction opposed to the pacifist policies of the proprietors of Pennsylvania, and the General Assembly voted to raise troops and establish a string of forts to protect the eastern part of the colony.

The largest and most important of the new outposts was built during the period 1756 to 1757 at the junction of the west and north branches of the Susquehanna, which was also a crossroads of important Indian trails. Presumably named for the mother of the future King George III, Fort Augusta was 204 feet in total length on each of its four sides. An outer stockade encircled a moat, inside which was a bastioned fort of conventional European design. A large model of this portion of Fort Augusta has been skillfully constructed on a scale of 1:6 near the original site. Four blockhouses providing a covered way to the river have not been included in this model. The original well and remains of the underground powder magazine have been preserved.

Because of its large size and strong garrison, Fort Augusta was never attacked, and it became an important base for traders and pioneers. During the Revolution it was a strategic position in the defense of the frontier and was the base for General John Sullivan's punitive expedition (see sullivan-clinton expedition under New York) against the Iroquois in 1779.

The fort was allowed to fall into ruins except for the quarters of Colonel Samuel Hunter, the last commanding officer, who continued to live there and eventually obtained title to the property. This house burned down in 1852, and a grandson of Colonel Hunter built the house that stands near the model of the fort. This now serves as a museum. Also on the grounds are a powder magazine and a reference library.

The site, known as the Hunter House Museum, is administered by the PHMC and is the headquarters of the Northumberland County Historical Society. Located at 1150 North Front Street (Route 147), the museuam is open March to December, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 1 to 4 p.m. Phone: (570) 286-4083.

Fort Bedford

Fort Bedford, Bedford Village, in south-central Pennsylvania, off Pa. Turnpike I-76. The fort built here in 1757 and enlarged the next year was an important feature of the wilderness route between the Forks of the Ohio and eastern Pennsylvania. Settled around 1750 and originally known as Raystown, Bedford became a famous health resort in the nineteenth century. It remains an attractive rural village in picturesque country where several important historical sites are identified by markers. The Fort Bedford Museum contains items of frontier life. The restored fort, a blockhouse surrounded by a stockade, is in a park created for the bicentennial celebration of 1958. The museum is open mid-May through mid-October on Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Phone: (814) 623-8891 or (814) 623-2011

Fort LeBoeuf

Fort LeBoeuf, Waterford. A model of the French fort (1753–1759) is in the Amos Judson House, built on the site of the fort in 1820. The fort, built by Colonel Henry Bouquet in 1760, was destroyed in Pontiac's War, three years later. Foundations of the fort built in 1796 to support "Mad Anthony" Wayne's operations against the Indians are preserved in a small park across the street from the Judson House. There is also a statue commemorating the fruitless visit of Washington to Fort LeBoeuf in 1753 (see forks of the ohio). The Amos Judson House was built in 1820 by Judson, owner of the nineteenth-century Eagle Hotel, and is the headquarters for the Fort LeBoeuf Historical Society. The Eagle Hotel, a National Historic Landmark, is across the street at 123 South High Street; it houses the Fort LeBoeuf Museum, which is operated by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission of Edinboro University. Judson House phone: (814) 796-6030; museum phone: (814) 732-2573.

Fort Ligonier

Fort Ligonier, at the intersection of U.S. 30 and Pa. Route 711 in Ligonier. Named after Sir John Ligonier, commander in chief of the British army until 1767, it was built in 1758 by General John Forbes. Fort Ligonier withstood an attack by the French and Indians the year it was built, and during Pontiac's War it was menaced by a small party of Indians on two occasions. The fort was also called Loyal Hannon, an English corruption of Loyalhanning ("middle stream"), a nearby Delaware Indian village whose site is indicated by a highway marker on U.S. 30 southeast of Ligonier.

The wooden, stockaded inner fort has been reconstructed and furnished. Visitors can visit the site from May through the end of October every day of the week. A fourteen-minute film places the surroundings in its proper historical perspective, and a museum contains artifacts and documents associated with the fort's prominent role in the Seven Years' War. Phone: (724) 238-9701.

Fort Necessity National Battlefield

Fort Necessity National Battlefield, 11 miles east of Uniontown on U.S. 40. The hasty fortifications erected by Washington at Great Meadows in 1754 were faithfully reconstructed two hundred years later by the National Parks Service. It was not until 1953 that archaeologists finally got their hands on missing documents that enabled them to find the fort's exact location and to establish its outlines.

Today's visitor will see reconstructions on the actual sites of the circular stockade, the storehouse, and the earthworks built by Washington's troops. The park is separated into three different sites that comprise nearly 900 total acres. What is referred to as the "main" unit contains the battlefield and the reconstructed Fort Necessity, in addition to the Mount Washington Tavern and a visitors center. The Braddock Grave is found about 1.5 miles west of there, and the Jumonville Glen section of the park is about 7 miles northwest of the main unit.

The section on the Forks of the Ohio outlines the sequence of events that brought the colony of Virginia into conflict with the French in this region. The twenty-two-year-old Washington, now a lieutenant colonel and second in command of a small regiment of three hundred volunteers raised by Virginia to defend the colony's interests in the upper Ohio Valley, reached Great Meadows with a sixty-man advance guard on 24 May 1754. With great difficulty they had cut a road across the mountains, and their wheeled vehicles and artillery were the first ever to cross the Alleghenies. Meanwhile, the Virginians had met the fort builders driven from their work at the Forks of the Ohio, and Washington proceeded on the assumption—perhaps unwarranted—that the French had committed an act of war.

Learning that a small French force was hiding in the vicinity, Washington launched a surprise attack on the morning of 27 May and killed ten of the enemy, including the French commander, Ensign Joseph Coulon de Villiers, Sieur de Jumonville. One Frenchman got away and made his way back to Fort Duquesne (now Pittsburgh), and Washington's act was subsequently denounced throughout Europe as an "assassination."

Washington wasted no time in preparing for the trouble he expected from the French. On 1 June he noted in his journal that "we are finishing our Fort," and two days later he wrote to Governor Dinwiddie that he was prepared to hold off an attack of five hundred men.

It was a month later, on 3 July, that the attack came. Captain Louis Coulon de Villiers, brother of Jumonville, commanded the force of about five hundred French and four hundred Indians who appeared around Fort Necessity in the early afternoon of a rainy day. Driving in Washington's outposts, they probed the position. After suffering some casualties from small-arms fire and from two swivel guns, the French and Indians encircled the fort and a sniping contest got under way. The rain continued to fall, dampening the ardor of Villiers's Indian allies and filling the American trenches with water.

Governor Dinwiddie had called for assistance from other colonies and from Indian tribes in South Carolina, but only the one hundred regulars of Captain James Mackay's South Carolina Independent Company were present with Washington's Virginians at Fort Necessity. The colonials numbered four hundred men, including one hundred who were sick, and Washington had been abandoned by his former Shawnee and Delaware allies. Even the Mingo chief, Half King, who had participated in the surprise attack on Jumonville, had withdrawn.

But the French were worried about rumors of a large force marching to Washington's assistance, and Villiers's troops, tired and wet, were unenthusiastic about gathering new military laurels in the soggy fields of the Great Meadow. Furthermore, the French had consistently pursued a policy of applying the minimum degree of military force necessary to hold their claims to the Upper Ohio. Villiers was therefore able to get the Americans to sign a surrender document that permitted them to withdraw with the honors of war. What Washington did not realize until later, because he did not read French, was that the document to which he affixed his signature referred to Jumonville's death as an assassination. The French remained one up on the British colonists. Villiers demolished Fort Necessity and returned to Fort Duquesne. Washington's force returned on foot to Wills Creek, harassed on the 50-mile march by the Indians.

Described below are places in the Fort Necessity area of interest to students of the military actions of 1754 to 1755.

Jumonville Glen is a secluded ravine sheltered by a 30-foot ledge of rocks where Half King's scouts found a French force hiding, and where the latter was subsequently attacked by Washington and his Indian allies (see above). Seven miles from Great Meadows, it is now part of the Fort Necessity National Battlefield.

Mount Washington Tavern, built in 1818 as a stage stop on the Old National Pike (now U.S. 40), is now a museum exhibiting relics of Fort Necessity and of Braddock's expedition.

Old Orchard Camp, 1 mile north of Fort Necessity, is the site of General Braddock's ninth encampment in his expedition against Fort Duquesne in 1755 and the first place his shattered forces stopped in their panic-stricken retreat after being ambushed by the French and Indians in the Battle of the Monongahela on 9 July. The wounded Braddock died here on 13 July. To keep his body from being found by the Indians, it was buried secretly on the trail and the expedition marched over it to obliterate signs of the digging. When workmen were repairing the nearby highway half a century later they uncovered a skeleton that, because of the vestiges of a British uniform worn by an officer of high rank, was believed to be Braddock's. The remains were moved 100 yards and reburied where a monument now marks the site.

The Fort Necessity National Battlefield site has been operated since 1933 by the National Park Service. There are parking facilities and a picnic area, as well as the usual historical reenactments in the summer. The park, 11 miles east of Uniontown off U.S. 40, is open daily year-round from sunrise to sunset, except holidays. Phone: (724) 329-5512.

Fort Zeller

Fort Zeller, 0.5 mile north of Newmanstown, Lebanon County, on the Fort Zeller Road. Pennsylvania's oldest surviving fort, built 1723 and rebuilt in 1745 by pioneers from the Schoharie Valley in New York, it was used for refuge during the Colonial Wars. The National Survey (1964) lists it in the "Sites Also Noted" category. Phone: (610) 589-4301.

Graeme Park

Graeme Park, Exit 26 off I-276 to Route 611 and then to County Line Road, Horsham, Montgomery County. The malthouse built in 1722 by Sir William Keith, provincial governor from 1717 until removed from office by the Penns in 1726 (after which it probably was his home for two years), survives as a distinguished example of the stone houses of the region and locality. Sir William's stepdaughter married Dr. Thomas Graeme, who acquired the property in 1739 and converted the plain industrial structure into a mansion with a fine Georgian interior with floor-to-ceiling paneling and an elegant dining-room fireplace. The property was given to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1958 and has been restored. The 44-acre site, including the Keith House, features a variety of bird life, and is operated by the PHMC. Phone: (215) 343-0965.

Greene Inn

Greene Inn, Buckingham, Bucks County. Known during the Revolution as Bogart's Tavern, this was headquarters for General Nathanael Greene in December 1776 before the famous crossing of the Delaware and the attack on Trenton. After this it was renamed the General Greene Inn. Curiously, it is included in the relatively select list of nine Pennsylvania "Sites Also Noted" by the National Survey in 1964, yet not marked by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. It has been the site of Edna's Antiques on Durham Road for almost seventy years, and has a yard packed full of old radiators and bathtubs, among other shopworn snippets.

Gulph, The

Gulph, The. Seematson's ford.

Hannastown Site

Hannastown Site, near Greensburg, Westmoreland County. When Westmoreland County was created in 1773, Hannastown was the county seat, the first one west of the mountains. It was on the Forbes Road (Raystown Path), about midway between Fort Ligonier and the site of Braddock's defeat on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. Hannastown had the distinction of being burned in the last action of the Revolutionary War in Pennsylvania, a raid by the Seneca that took place on 13 July 1782 (a Saturday). A highway marker is just west of the site, on Pa. 819 north of Greensburg.

Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site

Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site, Berks County, 5 miles southeast of Birdsboro on Pa. 23 (via U.S. 422). An iron-making village founded in 1770 by Mark Bird and active until 1883, Hopewell Village was acquired by the federal government in 1935. Restoration of the historic structures started in 1950, and a self-guided tour includes twenty-five important ruins, terrain features, and restored structures. Hopewell furnished cannon and shot to the Continental forces during the Revolution, and Mark Bird served as a colonel of militia in 1776. The furnace owned many slaves and indentured servants during the Revolution, and also employed numerous free blacks, a few of whom attained positions as highly skilled workers in the early nineteenth century. More than fifty structures in Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site can be found on the National Register of Historic Places. The park's museum exhibits an estimated 300,000 artifacts and archival items related to the site's history. (See cornwall furnace.) The park is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Phone: (610) 582-8773.

Lancaster

Lancaster, Lancaster County Seat. English Quakers and Germans settled on this spot about 1717. Since this town on the Conestoga River was laid out in 1730, it is the oldest inland town in Pennsylvania, and the largest inland town at the time of the Revolution. The Continental Congress met here for one day, 27 September 1777, in its flight from Philadelphia to York; thus Lancaster is entitled to its claim of being the national capital for one day. (It was a serious contender for selection as the permanent site later, and was the state capital from 1799 to 1812.) The "Pennsylvania rifle" was probably developed in Lancaster. The Conestoga wagon, freight carrier of colonial days and ancestor of the prairie schooner, was produced from the mid-eighteenth century in the Conestoga Valley. The mansion of Edward Hand, a leader of Pennsylvania riflemen during the Revolution and eventually adjutant general of the Continental army (1781), is still standing on Conestoga Creek adjoining Williamson Park. (The "Rock Ford" marker is on South Duke Street extended, at the creek, about 0.5 mile northwest of the old house.)

A monument to George Ross, signer of the Declaration of Independence and jurist who practiced law in Lancaster after 1750, is on the site of his house at King and Lime Streets. Edward Shippen, grandfather of Benedict Arnold's wife and a participant in his treason, lived during the years 1751 to 1781 at a spot now occupied by the YWCA on East Orange Street. The old courthouse where Congress met was located (1739–1853) in the southwest portion of the present square.

British and German soldiers of Burgoyne's "Convention Army" were quartered in barracks located on what is now North Duke Street, opposite the Historical Society headquarters. These structures no longer exist, but the military stables used during the Revolution are standing near a highway marker here. At Orange and Shippen Streets is a Georgian house built before 1760 and once occupied by the first mayor of Lancaster. At 418 West King Street is a house built in 1730 that typifies the early architecture of the town. The Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County is a primary information source for these sites; it is housed in the Sehner-Ellicott—von Hess House (c. 1787), located on 123 North Prince Street. Phone: (717) 291-5861.

Lee (Harry) Memorial

Lee (Harry) Memorial, off Sugartown Road (Number 15112) near Newtown Road (Number 15116), about three-quarters of a mile southwest of U.S. 30 in Berwyn, Chester County. The man who would become famous as "Light Horse Harry" Lee (and whose son was to become considerably more famous as Robert E. Lee) was a twenty-one-year-old captain when his company of Virginia cavalry joined Washington's army in 1777. He had already impressed the commander in chief with his exceptional military qualities when an exploit occurred at the Spread Eagle Tavern on 20 January 1778 that launched Lee on his career as a major figure in the war. The Patriot army was suffering in winter quarters at Valley Forge, and the British army was living high on the hog in occupied Philadelphia. Captain Lee was operating around Philadelphia, attacking foraging parties and causing such general annoyance that the British sent out a force of two hundred light horse to surprise and eliminate him. Surprise him they did, evading his outposts by taking a circuitous route of 20 miles and catching him in an isolated position with only seven companions. But eliminate him they did not: Lee and his little force took refuge in the Spread Eagle Tavern, fought off the British efforts to force the doors, and even succeeded in keeping them from taking his horses from the nearby stable. Lee then routed the attackers by making them believe a Patriot relief force was in sight. (Valley Forge was only 5 miles north.)

The action took place at dawn on 20 January, and Washington's general orders for that same day commended Lee and his seven companions. A congressional resolution of 7 April, occasioned by the affair at the Spread Eagle Tavern, promoted Lee to major commandant and authorized him to raise the separate force that evolved into Lee's Legion (created 30 November 1780 by augmenting his three mounted companies with three infantry companies).

Liberty Hall

Liberty Hall, Quakertown, Bucks County. This picturesque little two-story stone house on Broad Street, built before 1772, was briefly the hiding place for the Liberty Bell in September 1777 when it was being moved from Philadelphia to Allentown for safekeeping.

Matson's Ford

Matson's Ford, West Conshohocken. The first mill in this area was built in 1747 (it operated until 1895), and during the Revolution it was an important source of flour. When Washington started his move to winter quarters at Valley Forge from around Whitemarsh, his leading elements ran into a foraging expedition around the Gulph (now Gulph Mills) on the Schuylkill River after crossing the river at Matson's Ford (now West Conshohocken). The Patriots withdrew across the river on 11 December 1777, and Cornwallis returned to Philadelphia the next night with two thousand head of livestock and other provisions foraged by his large force. On 13 December Washington resumed his move toward Valley Forge, camping on hills around the Gulph until 19 December. Several highway markers on Pa. 23 at Gulph Mills, just west of West Conshohocken, pertain to these events. Lafayette used Matson's Ford in his operations around Barren Hill.

McKonkey's Ferry

McKonkey's Ferry, on the Delaware River. At the time of Washington's famous crossing of the Delaware the ferry-houses and taverns on both sides could properly be called McKonkey's, since they were owned by father and son. But D. S. Freeman concludes from his laborious study of contemporary accounts that "McKonkey's Ferry" was applied to the Pennsylvania side and "Johnson's Ferry" to the New Jersey side. Hessian reports called the latter "John's Ferry" (George Washington, IV, p. 307, n. 17). See also washington crossing state park, below, and washington crossing under New Jersey.

Moland House (Washington's Headquarters)

Moland House (Washington's Headquarters), near Pa. 263 just north of Warminster, 1641 Old York Road, Warwick Township. On Old York Road (Pa. 263) at one of the main crossroads of Bucks County, about 20 miles north of Philadelphia and the same distance west of Trenton, Washington's tired army camped during the period 10 to 23 August 1777. It was a particularly trying time for Washington, who was coping with many administrative problems in connection with supplying his troops while trying to figure out where he should march them next. Much was made of the difficult administrative and strategic problems at this time (on the eve of the Battle of Brandywine), and this authority is plainly confused as to exactly where Washington's camp was located in terms of modern landmarks. The "Headquarters Farm," as the highway marker calls the Moland House (1713), is also said to be where "Lafayette joined the American Army." Actually, Lafayette had presented his credentials to an unenthusiastic Congress on 28 July, offering to serve at his own expense and start without official rank, after which Congress promptly commissioned him a major general without a command (31 July). The nineteen-year-old French nobleman's first meeting with Washington was in Philadelphia a few days later, and Washington was almost immediately won over by Lafayette's modest, tactful, and admiring manner (ibid., p. 450). At this time, around 5 August, Washington invited Lafayette to visit the American army then deployed in defensive positions around Philadelphia (ibid., p. 448). Lafayette technically "joined the American Army" when Congress commissioned him on 31 July. He undoubtedly visited Washington's army before it encamped around the Moland House, 10 to 23 August. The significance of the house's association with Lafayette is therefore unclear, but it is all the more interesting because of this minor historical mystery.

The Moland House was recently restored, and opened to the public in 2004. It is indicated by a highway historical marker. Some further information is available on the Moland House website, although it is a very difficult site from which to procure clear data. Website: www.moland.org.

Muhlenberg House and Graves

Muhlenberg House and Graves, Trappe, Montgomery County. Henry Melchior Muhlenberg (1711–1787) was the single most significant figure in the early history of the Lutheran Church in America, and his son John Peter Gabriel (1746–1807) was a distinguished general during the Revolution as well as a famous clergyman and politician. The house built before the Revolution by the father (who died here) and later owned by the son is still standing, a privately owned structure of three stories, built of stone covered with stucco and having much of its original woodwork. The address is 201 Main Street.

Both of these Muhlenbergs and their wives are buried directly behind the old Augustus Lutheran Church, which is adjacent to the new church and just north of Main Street. The church was founded by Henry Muhlenberg and the surviving structure built in 1743, making it the oldest unchanged Lutheran Church building in continuous use in the United States.

Trappe, first known as New Providence, is located off U.S. 422 (Pottstown Expressway), and is roughly midway between Limerick and Collegeville.

Nash (Francis) Grave

Nash (Francis) Grave, Towamencin Mennonite Meeting, near Kulpsville, Montgomery County. The death of Brigadier General Francis Nash (c. 1742–1777) of a wound received in the Battle of Germantown (see under philadelphia) was a serious loss to the Patriot cause. He was one of the most promising young generals of the Continental army, his military reputation dating from before the Revolution, when in his native North Carolina he led a company of militia in the Battle of the Alamance (see under north carolina). In addition, Francis Nash had risen to prominence as a merchant, attorney, and Whig politician. His brother Abner, who was about two years older, became governor of North Carolina in the spring of 1780 as his state became an active theater of military operations. Evidence of the fame of the brothers is the fact that Nashville, Tennessee, was named for them from its initial settlement in 1779.

General Nash was leading his North Carolina brigade into action at Germantown on 4 October 1777 when he was hit in the thigh by a cannonball. Three days later he died, far from his home in Hillsborough, North Carolina, and his body has never been moved from its original resting place. The grave has two markers, one erected in 1844 and the other in 1936. Three other officers, also mortally wounded at Germantown, lie beside Nash. The site is at the junction of the Sumneytown Pike and Forty Foot Road, near the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Paoli Massacre Site

Paoli Massacre Site, Malvern. On the night of 20 to 21 September 1777, about a week after the Battle of the Brandywine, General Charles Grey surprised and routed General Anthony Wayne's camp about 2 miles southwest of Paoli Tavern (in today's town of Paoli). This was Wayne's home ground (see wayne birthplace), and he had remained on the south side of the Schuylkill River to harass the British advance. The British learned of his plans and location, surprised his camp shortly after midnight, inflicted many casualties in a brief melee, and scattered Wayne's command before withdrawing with about seventy prisoners. Wayne saved his four cannon and was acquitted of court-martial charges of failing to heed "timely notice" of the attack. As was customary after suffering a humiliating military defeat, the Patriots raised the cry of "massacre." Inscriptions on monuments at the site reiterate the reference to "Patriots who … fell sacrificed to British barbarity."

Charles Grey (1729–1807), an experienced tactical commander, achieved at Paoli and later at Old Tappan, New Jersey, what might serve as textbook models of the surprise of detached camps. Acting on superior military intelligence of Wayne's location, Grey made a two-hour night march with several British regiments and achieved surprise. Finally, he solved the difficult problem of maintaining control in a night engagement by restricting his troops to use of the bayonet. This was orthodox doctrine in Grey's day, which saw the bayonet as deadlier than the inaccurate musket, but he became known after Paoli as "No-flint" Grey because he ordered that soldiers remove their flints if they could not draw the charges from muskets previously loaded. Historians have long discredited the patriotic American accusation that Grey's victory at Paoli was an atrocity, and today's visitors should not be deceived by the inscriptions on the monuments.

Near the battle site, in Malvern Memorial Park, is the mass grave of some fifty-three "mangled dead," protected by a low wall of stone. Some of this stone is from the foundation of a log cabin in which a few American officers were quartered at the time of the action. Nearby is a polished granite obelisk commemorating the "massacre." By walking behind this monument a visitor gets a panoramic view of the country to the south. Otherwise the land-marks of the famous skirmish are unidentified, and the ground where Wayne's rear guard was defeated is not part of the park. Privately owned, it is in the glen south of the obelisk mentioned above.

To reach Malvern Memorial Park in the town of Malvern, go 0.5 mile west from Warren Avenue on Monument Avenue The junction of these streets is 0.4 mile east of King Street (in Malvern) and 0.8 mile north of a traffic light on the Paoli Pike near the Malvern Preparatory School. Every year the Upper Main Line Memorial Association sponsors the Memorial Parade to honor those killed in the Paoli massacre.

Pennsbury Manor

Pennsbury Manor, on the Delaware River, northeast of Philadelphia, near Tullytown, 400 Pennsbury Memorial Road, in Bucks County. William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, built a great manor house in the wilderness 25 miles up the Delaware from Philadelphia. He lived there less than two full years before returning to England in 1701, and the property quickly fell into ruin. A recreation of the estate was completed in 1939 on the foundations of the large manor house and outbuildings. Pennsbury Manor has the largest collection of seventeenth-century furniture in the state, and the reconstructed plantation portrays the world of Pennsylvania's founder almost a century before the American Revolution. The site is managed by the PHMC. Phone: (215) 946-0400.

Philadelphia

Philadelphia. The first European settlers on the site of Philadelphia were the Swedes, and their monument—"A jewel in its drab environs" of South Philadelphia—is the Gloria Dei (Old Swedes') Church National Historic Site (see below). The "City of Brotherly Love" was established in 1682 by William Penn as a Quaker colony. It was a "modern" city from the beginning, with an orderly street plan and with such innovations as garbage collection, street-cleaning services, firefighting and fire-insurance companies, a hospital, and street lighting long before such things were known even in Europe. As early as 1751 "law and order" was assured by a body of paid constables, who replaced the traditional night watchmen. There was a rapid growth in population in the decade preceding the Revolution; Philadelphia, with an estimated 38,000 people, was the third-largest city in the British Empire. (London, the largest, then had 750,000 people, the vast majority of them wallowing in squalor; Edinburgh had just over 40,000.)

In addition to having a much larger population than New York City (22,000), Boston (18,000), and Charleston (12,000), Philadelphia was the center of manufacturing in the American colonies. For these and other reasons Philadelphia was the logical place for the first seat of national government. The first Continental Congress met here in 1774. The Second Continental Congress and its successors sat in Philadelphia until the end of the Revolution, except for two periods totaling less than a year. (Congress fled to Baltimore in December 1776, when it looked as if the British were going to capture Philadelphia, and conducted its business as a sort of "rump parliament" of only twenty to twenty-five members until 4 March 1777. When the British occupied Philadelphia, 26 September 1777 to 18 June 1778, it had one meeting in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and then sat in York, Pennsylvania.)

The sites of greatest Revolutionary War interest are listed below in alphabetical order, but a visit to Philadelphia should start at Independence Hall, which is the heart of the remarkable Independence National Historical Park (see those headings below). Philadelphia "Historical Sites" information is available by phone at (215) 965-7676. The website www.gophila.com is also extremely helpful.

African Methodist Episcopal Church, 419 Richard Allen Avenue. In 1777 an itinerant Methodist preacher spoke to a group of slaves in a clearing in the woods near the Delaware River. One of those slaves was seventeen-year-old Richard Allen, who purchased his freedom three years later and became a Methodist. Refusing to attend a segregated church, Allen joined with several others to form the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), the first black church in the United States. Allen was responsible for buying the site for their church. Using his own money, Allen purchased this plot on the corner of Sixth and Lombard. "Mother Bethel," as it was known, opened in 1794, beginning a rich history of involvement in Philadelphia's African American community and participation in many issues of national importance. The current building, dating to 1890, is the fourth on this site. Tours are available by appointment; phone: (215) 925-0616. About the same time that Allen had had enough of segregation, Absalom Jones reached the same conclusion within the Episcopal Church, and organized St. Thomas Episcopal Church. The church moved several times in its history before settling at 401 North 52nd Street. Jones and Allen got together in 1787 to establish an African American Masonic Lodge named to honor Prince Hall, a black Revolutionary veteran who opened the first African American Lodge in Boston. The current Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania is at 4301 North Broad Street.

Afro-American Historical and Cultural Museum, 701 Arch Street. The first municipal museum in the country specifically devoted to the historical experience of black Americans, the museum focuses on the contributions of African Americans to the history of Philadelphia and its region, and includes an exhibit on blacks in the American Revolution. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 6. Phone: (215) 574-0380.

American Women's Heritage Society Museum, 2000 Belmont Mansion. This historic house, built in 1742, played host to Washington, Franklin, and Madison during the Revolution, among many others. Today it houses one of the very few museums devoted to the history of women. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; phone: (215) 878-8844.

Bartram (John) House and Botanical Gardens, 54th Street and Lindbergh Boulevard. Phone: (215) 729-5281. A self-educated scientist and pioneer, American botanist John Bartram (1699–1777) built with his own hands the distinctive but remarkably unattractive stone house preserved here. Dating from 1731, the two-and-a-half-story structure has tall Ionic columns that probably were added some years later, when the house was remodeled. Bartram created America's first botanical gardens, which were enlarged by his son and rescued from a subsequent period of neglect. The house is furnished with pieces contemporary with Bartram's period of significant work.

Carpenters' Hall, on 320 Chestnut Street between Fourth and Orianna. Headquarters of the Pennsylvania Committee of Correspondence and seat of the First Continental Congress (1774–1775), this building was constructed in 1770 as a guildhall for the Carpenters' Company of Philadelphia. The basement was used as an ammunition magazine during the Revolution, and it housed the first Bank of the United States during the period 1791 to 1797. Carpenter's Hall is open free to the public. Phone: (215) 925-0167.

Chew House (Cliveden), on Germantown Avenue between Johnson and Cliveden Streets. A famous landmark in the Battle of Germantown, 4 October 1777, this fine Georgian mansion survives as an eighteenth-century island in the urban sprawl of today's world. Privately owned by six generations of the Chew family for 209 years (except for one eighteen-year interval, 1779–1797) and seldom opened to the public during that time, the house and about 6 acres were acquired in 1972 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Varieties of events from historical to musical are held on the site in addition to tours and educational programs. It is open to the public from noon to 4 p.m., Thursday through Sunday. Phone: (215) 848-1777.

When Washington found that General Howe had split his forces after taking Philadelphia on 26 September 1777, he decided to mass his entire army of eleven thousand regulars and militia in an attack on the nine thousand British estimated to be in and around Germantown.

As Washington finally evolved his complicated plan, General John Sullivan was to lead his division, Wayne's division, and Conway's brigade down the Shippack Road from Chestnut Hill across Mount Airy and through Germantown. General Alexander ("Lord Stirling") would follow with two brigades, those of Nash and Maxwell. Three miles to the left and operating initially on a parallel line with Sullivan and Alexander would be the powerful force of three divisions under General Nathanael Greene. Militia units were to advance on both flanks of the regulars, and all of Washington's army would converge to annihilate the British around Germantown, after which they would all march against Cornwallis in Philadelphia.

The Americans reached Chestnut Hill at dawn. At 6 a.m., just as the sun was rising over foggy fields in which visibility was sometimes as low as 30 yards, the Rebels made contact with British outposts near Mount Airy. They were already behind schedule, and Greene was not yet in position on the left, but Sullivan decided to press on. Deploying "Mad Anthony" Wayne's division in the fields on the left of the road to narrow the gap on that flank, Sullivan advanced through the buckwheat fields on the other side of the Shippack Road.

Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Musgrave had, meanwhile, led his regiment forward to reinforce the British front lines. Driven back by superior forces, he counter-attacked whenever the opportunity arose and conducted a brilliant delaying action. Heavy fog greatly assisted the Americans. Had the British been able to see as far as 100 yards and fire on the Americans as they crossed the numerous fences in their path, "Sullivan's attack would have ended in a slaughter" (Freeman, Washington, IV, pp. 513-514). On the other hand, this fog enabled Musgrave to withdraw part of his force (about 120 men) into the Chew House after fighting his delaying action over a stretch of about 2 miles.

Sullivan's wing (see above) swept on without realizing where their resolute opponents had gone, but the rest of Washington's center column quickly found out. General William Maxwell's division of Alexander's command, moving along the Shippack Road, was held up for half an hour by fire from the Chew House.

By the time this center column got moving again, bypassing the battered but still defended Chew House, the battle was turning into a fiasco. One of Greene's divisions (that of Adam Stephen; see stephen house, west virginia) from the left flank violated orders and marched toward the sound of the fighting around the Chew House. It collided with Wayne's division, which it mistook for the enemy, and shots were exchanged.

Many other things went wrong, and the result was a panic that wrecked Washington's plans just when he and most of his army thought they were about to win a great victory. The Battle of Germantown turned out to have a decisive effect on the outcome of the Revolution because it convinced the French that they should support the Americans openly with military assistance. The French and other European observers were even more impressed by the Germantown defeat than by the Saratoga victory because it showed that the Rebels were determined to keep up their fight for independence. Howe had made Washington look foolish in the Philadelphia campaign; yet Washington snapped back with a powerful and audacious counteroffensive. Whatever historians later decided about Washington's generalship at Germantown, he and his army thought they had almost won a great victory, and this was a great boost to their morale; they were eager to try again somewhere else.

Built in 1763 by Benjamin Chew on his country estate of Cliveden, the two-story house is of gray stone quarried near the site. Imported urns ornamenting the gabled roof and marble statuary on the lawn gave Cliveden its most striking and distinctive look, these features being rare for Philadelphia houses. An imposing entrance hall is of particular interest because of its bright natural lighting and the screen of four columns separating it from the stair hall. But one of the most remarkable things about Cliveden is that many original furnishings remain. One outstanding item is a sofa attributed to the workshop of Thomas Affleck and first owned by Governor Penn. Other rare items are American Sheraton and Hepplewhite furniture and Philadelphia Chippendale mirrors. The acquisition also includes paintings of Cliveden, the Chew family, and an extensive collection of documents relating to both. The house joins some fifty other historic eighteenth- and nineteenth-century structures in the Germantown Historic District.

Christ Church, on Second Street between Market and Filbert Streets. This church was founded in 1695 and the present building was erected during the period 1727 to 1754. One of the finest colonial churches in America, it was attended by some of the most famous of the Patriots. Buried there are John Penn (last proprietary governor), General John Forbes, General Charles Lee, James Wilson, and Robert Morris ("The Financier of the Revolution").

Christ Church Cemetery, Fifth and ArchStreets. About a quarter of a mile away from Christ Church, land was purchased here in 1719 as a burial ground. Graves include those of five signers of the Declaration of Independence: Franklin (and his wife), Francis Hopkinson (of New Jersey), Benjamin Rush, Joseph Hewes (of Edenton, North Carolina), and George Ross. After being closed for twenty-five years, the cemetery reopened to the public in 2003.

Deshler-Morris House, 5442 Germantown Avenue. Built in 1772 to 1773, this was Washington's home during the summers of 1793 and 1794. It is part of the Independence National Historical Park but located in Germantown, far from the main group of buildings. The house has been restored and refurnished, and it is open Friday to Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. from April through mid-December, and by appointment only during other months. Phone: (215) 596-1748.

Dilworth-Todd-Moylan House, 343 Walnut Street at Fourth Street. Built in 1776 by Jonathan Dilworth, this house was bought in 1791 by John Todd, Jr., the first husband of Dolly Payne Madison. Between 1796 and 1807 it was the home of Colonel Stephen Moylan, the jolly Irishman who was closely associated with Washington in many varied capacities during the Revolution.

Elfreth's Alley Historical District, north of Arch Street between Front and Second Streets. In a remarkably good state of preservation, the little dwellings of artisans and craftsmen along this narrow street present a scene virtually unchanged in two centuries. It is commonly referred to as "Our Nation's Oldest Residential Street." The Elfreth's Alley Association was established in 1934 to conserve the site; it is using income from the annual fete day to restore Number 126 (built 1741–1762) as a permanent headquarters and museum. Daily guided tours of the district are available. Phone: (215) 574-0560.

Fort Mifflin, on the Delaware River at the foot of Fort Mifflin Road in South Philadelphia, just east of Philadelphia International Airport. Construction of a river fort to bar the water approach to Philadelphia was started in 1772 by the famous Captain John Montresor, a British military engineer. It was completed in 1777 under the direction of Major General Thomas Mifflin, and protected one end of the line of water obstacles stretching across the river to Fort Mercer, New Jersey.

After the British captured Philadelphia on 26 September 1777 by overland operations that avoided the Delaware River forts, General Howe had to open his line of communications with the fleet, or his position in Philadelphia would have become untenable. While the fleet under his brother, Admiral Richard Howe, was battering its way through the defenses farther down the Delaware, General Howe showed unwonted vigor in opening his campaign against the forts from the land side.

Despite the efforts of Washington's troops to stop them, the British succeeded in getting siege artillery emplaced on Providence Island, a swampy region where the United States Naval Depot was later established. At short range the gunners were able to deliver a sustained fire against the land side of the American fort, which had not been properly built for this unexpected threat. The defenders had valiantly fought back against this bombardment and had also inflicted severe damage on warships that tried to force their way past, but British water batteries started closing in. On 10 November, exactly a month after the fire from Providence Island had begun, a floating battery with twenty-two large guns (24-pounders) had closed to within 40 yards of the fort. In succeeding days the Royal Navy moved so close with their ships that their marines were able to fire into the fort from the rigging. Most of the fort's guns had long since been silenced, and the surviving defenders were virtually defenseless.

Major Simeon Thayer, who had succeeded the wounded Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Smith, evacuated his troops the night of 15 to 16 November to Fort Mercer after destroying what was left of his position. (See fort mercer, new jersey.)

Reconstruction of Fort Mifflin was started in the 1790s and modifications were made periodically until 1904. In the 1930s it was restored from the plans drawn by L'Enfant for the construction started in 1798 when war with France was expected. The National Survey of Historic Sites and Buildings notes that "Fort Mifflin preserves much of its character as an example of eighteenth-century military engineering, despite modifications over the years." (The stone wall on the river side is original.) It is of interest also as the scene of one of the bravest defensive fights ever put up by American troops.

Open to the public since 1969, Old Fort Mifflin is restored to its original appearance and features a wide array of historical programs and reenactments. Phone: (215) 685-4167.

Franklin Court, on Orianna Street between Chestnut and Market Streets. A 100-yard section of Orianna Street is one of the federal areas of Independence National Historical Park. Here is the site of the house in which Benjamin Franklin once lived and where he died. Today there is a peculiar "ghost structure" made of steel that outlines Franklin's house. There is an underground museum with historic displays, interactive exhibits, and a twenty-two-minute film, "The Real Ben Franklin." The museum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nearby, one can also visit the United States Postal Service Museum at 316 Market Street, open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the Franklin Print Shop at 320 Market Street (hours vary, (215) 965-2305).

Gloria Dei (Old Swedes') Church National Historic Site, in South Philadelphia on Delaware Avenue near Christian Street. The existing structure of red brick was dedicated in 1700, and the Swedish accent is preserved in the steep gable roof, square belfry, and small spire. Swedes started settling along the Delaware in 1631. One of their great contributions to what became the American way of life was the log cabin, which was unknown in England. Gloria Dei replaced a small log blockhouse that the church had used since its establishment around 1646. Phone: (215) 389-1513.

Among the church treasures to be seen today are a carved cherubim and baptismal font of 1643 brought over by the first settlers. Silver altar appointments, old Bibles, and other documents comprise a collection of great value and interest.

Betsy Ross married her second husband here in 1777, and Daniel Boone's sister Margaret is among the many people of historical interest buried in the churchyard. Gloria Dei separated from the mother church in 1789, and in 1845 became Episcopalian. It remains the center of an active parish.

Independence Hall, on Chestnut Street between Fifth and Sixth Streets. This is the most important historical site in Philadelphia, if not in America. The city purchased it in 1818 from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, taking the first step in a long and sustained process of preservation. By a cooperative agreement between city and federal authorities, the Independence Hall group of buildings has been administered since 1951 as part of Independence National Historical Park (described below). Independence Hall is the heart of this park, and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Construction of the building was begun in 1732, and it was originally the statehouse for the colony of Pennsylvania. Here the Second Continental Congress met during the Revolution, except for two periods totaling less than a year when it was not safe to remain in the city. In this building George Washington was chosen to head the Continental army. Washington delivered his acceptance speech here, and in 1787 he started performing his functions as president of the Federal Constitutional Convention. The Declaration of Independence was adopted here in 1776, and four days later, on 8 July, the Liberty Bell (see below) was rung after the Declaration was first read to the citizens of Philadelphia. The bell is displayed here today. The Constitution was signed in this historic building.

Independence National Historical Park, a large area between Chestnut and Walnut Streets and Second and Sixth Streets, in addition to many nearby detached areas and four sites some distance away. The information center is in the west wing of Independence Hall. Covered in alphabetical order in this article on Philadelphia are the sites of Revolutionary War interest within the park. Sites the author has omitted are: Philosophical Hall, Library Hall, the First and Second Banks of the United States, New Hall (a modern reconstruction which houses a museum of early Marine Corps history), the Philadelphia Exchange, and the Bishop White House and Pemberton House (a reconstructed house that features the Army-Navy Museum). Information about all of these places is readily available in tourist guides. Phone: (215) 965-2305.

Jefferson House, officially known as the Graff House, Seventh Street near Market Street. A marker indicates the site of a three-story brick house in which Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence in June 1776. He was then thirty-three years old. The house was rebuilt in 1883 and rebuilt years later by the National Park Service, which relied on old photographs for the construction. There is only one item known to be authentic to Jefferson's time in the house: a key to the desk. Open Wednesday through Sunday, 12 p.m. to 2 p.m; phone: (215) 597-8974.

Liberty Bell, in Independence Hall. Construction of the bell tower on Independence Hall was authorized in 1750 and completed in 1753. A bell was ordered from England in 1751 and delivered in 1752. It weighed about 2,000 pounds. The colonial council had prescribed that it should have cast around its crown the words from Leviticus: "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof." This was intended as a fiftieth anniversary memorial to William Penn's Charter of Privileges (1701). The bell was not known by its current name until 1839, when it was associated with the anti-slavery movement.

The bell cracked while being tested in 1752 in Philadelphia, and was recast twice. Starting in 1753 the bell was rung on public occasions, one of which was the first reading of the Declaration of Independence to the citizens of Philadelphia in Independence Square on 8 July 1776. At least, tradition has it that the bell was rung on this occasion; if true, the scene would have been quite different from that visualized by a modern patriot because nobody paid much attention to the Declaration of Independence until many years later. It merely made a matter of record the course Congress had already set. Few of the men now immortalized as signers mentioned the document in their letters, and although nobody signed the document until 2 August, John Adams and Jefferson were so little impressed by this event that they both insisted many years later that they had signed on 4 July.

The bell was hidden for almost a year in Allentown during the British occupation of Philadelphia, after which it was rung again on public occasions. According to tradition, the bell was strained in tolling during the obsequies of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835. The final damage, which silenced it forever, occurred in 1846 when it was rung on Washington's birthday. The Liberty Bell Center Museum is open all year and is part of National Independence National Historical Park.

Mikveh Israel Cemetery, Spruce and Ninth Streets. Established in 1738, this is the city's oldest Jewish burial ground, and it is included in the Independence National Historical Park. Graves include those of Haym Salomon, a Patriot who spent much time in British prisons for subversive activities and performed valuable services as a financier of the Revolution, and of Nathan Levy, whose ship brought the Liberty Bell to America.

Mount Pleasant, in Fairmount Park, between East River Drive and the Columbia Avenue entrance. One of the most beautiful houses in America (one architectural historian, Thomas T. Waterman, calls it the finest colonial house in the North), Mount Pleasant was built during the period 1761 to 1762 by a Scottish sea captain. This probably accounts for the balustraded deck on the hipped roof. From the house's hilltop location there is a magnificent view of the Schuylkill.

The mansion was bought by Benedict Arnold in 1779, when he was military commander of Philadelphia. About this time, the thirty-eight-year-old hero married nineteen-year-old Peggy Shippen. There is no proof that the couple ever lived at Mount Pleasant, but Arnold did install there his devoted sister, Hannah, and his three sons by his first wife. The estate, which Arnold had settled on his wife for life, was confiscated when the hero turned traitor. Arnold secretly repurchased it through his father-in-law for less than the £5,000 ($25,000) he claimed from the British for his loss of the estate, but he subsequently resold it.

The house was leased for a brief period to Baron von Steuben. Eventually it came into the possession of General Jonathan Williams, a kinsman and long-time associate of Benjamin Franklin. The city of Philadelphia bought it in 1868 from the Williams family. Refurnished handsomely by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, it is administered by that institution. It closed for renovation for some time but reopened to the public in the fall of 2005. Phone: (215) 763-8100.

Ross (Betsy) House (c. 1740), 239 Arch Street. The legend of Betsy Ross's making the first Stars and Stripes is based on a story first made public in 1870 by her grandson. But there was a Betsy Ross (1752–1836) who rented the house from 1773 to 1786, and there is documentary evidence of her being paid in 1777 for "making ships' colours, etc." She eloped in 1773 with John Ross (the first of her three husbands), who opened an upholsterer's shop on the site of what is now 233 Arch Street. A little brick structure dating from about 1700 has been restored here and furnished with appropriate memorabilia to perpetuate a patriotic myth. The house/museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily from April through September. Phone: (215) 686-1252.

St. George's Church, 235 North Fourth Street. The oldest Methodist church now standing in America, this building has been in continuous use since 1769, except during the British occupation of Philadelphia. Phone: (215) 925-7788.

St. Joseph's Church, on Willings Alley between Third and Fourth Streets. Earlier structures of 1733 and 1757 have been replaced by this one, which was started in 1838. When it opened, St. Joseph's held the only legally allowed Catholic mass in the British Empire. Lafayette and the Comte de Rochambeau both worshiped here, as did a number of other prominent Catholics of the Revolutionary era. Mass has been celebrated here without interruption for more than two centuries. Tours are available by appointment; phone: (215) 923-1733. (See St. Mary's Church, below.)

St. Mary's Church, at 252 South Fourth Street between Locust and Spruce. The principal Catholic church in Philadelphia during the Revolution, it was established in 1763. Thomas Fitz-Simons and Commander John Barry ("Father of the American Navy") are buried here. Phone: (215) 923-7930.

Walnut Street Prison, marker on Sixth Street near Walnut Street. Extending between Walnut and Locust Streets, on the east edge of modern Washington Square, was a notorious prison that stood during the years 1775 to 1838. The Patriots used it as a jail for Loyalists, and during the British occupation of Philadelphia the infamous William Cunningham was in charge of American prisoners there who had been taken at Brandywine and Germantown. The death rate was high, and hundreds of prisoners of war were buried in the potter's field (established in 1704) where Washington Square was subsequently created. The prison was torn down in 1838.

Washington Square, bounded by Sixth, Seventh, Walnut, and Locust Streets, is a beautiful area to walk and view historic buildings. Once known as Congo Square for its use as a meeting place for the city's free blacks, the square was the burial site for hundreds of soldiers during the Revolution.

Pocono Indian Museum

Pocono Indian Museum, Bushkill. The Delaware, or Lenni Lenapee as they called themselves, were the subject of one of the greatest land frauds in American history, the so-called "Walking Purchase" of 1737. Already crushed by losing most of their land to the proprietors of Pennsylvania, the Delaware were nearly exterminated during the Revolution, with the survivors scattered to regions as far west as Oklahoma and north to Canada. The Pocono Museum, which sits on lands taken from the Delaware, displays artifacts from archaeological excavations as well as information on their history. Located south of town on U.S. 209, the museum is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Phone: (717) 588-9338.

Summerseat

Summerseat, Legion and Clymer Avnues, Morrisville, Bucks County. Thomas Barclay built this attractive two-story stone house in 1773. It was the home at later intervals of two signers of the Declaration of Independence, George Clymer and Robert Morris. During the period 8 to 14 December 1776 it was Washington's headquarters (just before his famous crossing of the Delaware). Restored in 1931, it became part of the Morrisville school system until 1976, when it was purchased by the Historic Morrisville Society, and it is now open to the public on a limited basis. For more information phone (215) 295-9287.

Swede's Ford

Swede's Ford, in modern Norristown on the Schuylkill River. On one of the main avenues of approach to Philadelphia, this crossing figured prominently in maneuvers after the Patriot defeat on the Brandywine (see brandywine battlefield). Washington used it in moving to Valley Forge and in sending the large detachment under Lafayette to Barren Hill.

Thomson Home

Thomson Home, officially known as Harriton House, Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County. Charles Thomson came to America from Ireland as an orphan at the age of ten and became a schoolmaster before prospering as a merchant and then becoming active in politics. He is best remembered as the "perpetual secretary" of the Continental Congress, holding this office for almost fifteen years (until 1789). His second marriage was in 1774, to the daughter of the second owner of the estate of Harriton, near Philadelphia, and here he lived until his death in 1824, making "scholarly and felicitous" translations of the Septuagint and the New Testament. The house dates from 1704 and is in the National Survey inventory (1964) under the heading "Sites Also Noted." The house became a museum in 1970. It is located at 500 Harriton Road, west of Bryn Mawr on Montgomery Road to Roberts Road, and then onto Harriton. The house is open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Phone: (610) 525-0201.

Thompson's Island Skirmish (Brodhead Expedition)

Thompson's Island Skirmish (Brodhead Expedition), Allegheny River, Warren County. The only Revolutionary War engagement in northwestern Pennsylvania occurred here on 15 August 1779. Colonel Daniel Brodhead had left Fort Pitt four days earlier with six hundred troops for a punitive expedition up the Allegheny. (It had been supposed to link up with the Sullivan-Clinton Expedition in New York for an attack on Fort Niagara, but failed to make contact.) Leaving the river at the mouth of Mahoning Creek (around modern Templeton) and moving "through a country almost impassable by reason of stupendous heights and frightful declivities," as described by a participant, the expedition came back to the Allegheny about 15 miles above today's Franklin (then Venango).

From there the going was worse. What shows on modern highway maps as a route recommended for its scenic beauty (U.S. 62) was for the Brodhead Expedition "a continued narrow defile, allowing us only the breadth of an Indian path to march upon" (Commager and Morris, The Sprit of Seventy Six, pp. 1023-1024). In the only attempt to bar Brodhead's advance, some thirty to forty Indian warriors landed from canoes at a point opposite Thompson's Island.

The commander of the Patriot advance guard, Lieutenant Jonathan Hardin, attacked before the Indians could get organized. Leaving five dead, and abandoning their canoes, the Indians "fled with the utmost horror and precipitation," some into the woods and others swimming the river (presumably to Thompson's Island). Hardin's only casualties—he had fourteen white soldiers and eight Delawares—were three men slightly wounded.

Brodhead, meeting no further resistance, went on to burn ten towns of the Mingo, Munsey, and Seneca Indians (165 houses) and destroy an estimated 500 acres of corn. Coming back, the expedition found "a creek about 10 miles above Venango, remarkable for an oily liquid which oozes from the sides and bottom of the channel and the adjacent springs, much resembling British oil, and if applied to a woolen cloth, burns instantly" (ibid.). This was, of course, Oil Creek, where the earliest explorers had found the Indians skimming surface oil (used medicinally) and where the petroleum industry was centered during the years 1859 to 1865.

The site of the Thompson's Island Skirmish is marked on U.S. 62, 9 miles southwest of Warren. The latter city is on the site of Conewango, a Seneca village of historical importance on the Iroquois frontier.

Valley Forge National Historical Park

Valley Forge National Historical Park, Port Kennedy, off Valley Forge interchange of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The site of the famous winter quarters of 1777 to 1778 is preserved in a park of 3,466 acres. Although veterans of Washington's miserable little army would have trouble today in recognizing the area that one of them, General Kalb, said was probably selected on the advice of a speculator, a traitor, or a council of ignoramuses, Valley Forge has been transformed into an impressive shrine of American patriotism.

Even when stripped of the myths that have been invented since the Revolution—such as Washington's kneeling to pray in the snow—Valley Forge deserves to be immortalized. It was here that the losers of earlier campaigns were transformed into the winners of Monmouth and Yorktown. Although it was a mild winter (the next one, at Morristown [see morristown national historical park under New Jersey], made Valley Forge look like a picnic), an estimated three thousand of the ten thousand troops died there or in various hospitals to which they were removed. Their suffering was caused by administrative incompetence, graft, and war profiteering, however, and the real triumphs of the winter at Valley Forge were the military reforms that Washington was able to bring about. Congress was finally ready to listen to his recommendations on military matters, so Washington was able to strengthen the officer corps, to get more recruits for the Continental infantry, to improve the quality of the cavalry, and to correct weaknesses of army administration. After the miserable failure of Thomas Mifflin as quartermaster general, the supply mess was straightened out by Nathanael Greene, who was prevailed on by Washington to leave his duties as a field commander for this purpose. General Steuben became famous at Valley Forge for his colorful and highly effective performance as the Prussian drillmaster who gave American officers and men the professional training they so sorely needed.

Although Valley Forge had many shortcomings as a campsite—"no village, no plain, and little valley," writes D. S. Freeman in his biography of Washington—it was almost ideal from a tactical and strategic viewpoint. It provided good defensive terrain, it had a good supply of wood for building and for burning, it had good drainage, and water was abundant. Less than 20 miles from Philadelphia, where the British army was living high, it was between that place and the temporary seat of the Continental Congress at York.

Today's visitor will see reconstructed huts, impressive memorials, extensive remains of forts, earthworks, and campsites, the house that served as Washington's headquarters, which now serves as one of the park's museums, and the expected military reenactments. The Mount Joy observatory tower provides a view of the campsite and the surrounding countryside. It stands at the site of Washington's marquee, the field tent he used until he moved into the house of the Quaker preacher Isaac Potts, mentioned above. The tent is preserved in the museum. A visitor will also see the parade ground where Steuben took the troops' minds off their problems of "no pay, no clothes, no provisions, no rum," and where they celebrated with a feu de joie the news of the French alliance. Guided tours are available, and visitors can roam the vast grounds while basking in the natural scenery and the site's rich history. The park is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Phone: (610) 783-1077; website: http://www.nps.gov/vafo/home.htm.

Washington Crossing State Park and New Hope

Washington Crossing State Park and New Hope, Delaware River, Bucks County. A highway bridge across the Delaware connects the state parks of Pennsylvania (478 acres) and New Jersey (372 acres) in what the National Survey of Historic Sites and Buildings has called "an outstanding preservation of a key site in the winning of American independence." Operated by the PHMC, this site contains thirteen historic buildings, some of which are noted in this listing. The park is open Tuesday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5:00 p.m. For further information, call the park at (215) 493-4076.

On the Pennsylvania side the park has two separate sections on the river about 4 miles apart, one at the community of Washington Crossing (Pa. 32) and the other at Bowman's Hill (north of Pa. 32). In New Hope Borough (a little farther north on Pa. 32) are the Coryell and Vansant Houses (see below).

Washington's crossing of the Delaware on the night of 25 to 26 December 1776 to surprise and defeat the Hessian garrison in Trenton is one of the most dramatic events of the American Revolution. There is, however, the danger that the drama of the crossing may obscure Washington's real achievement here in getting this offensive effort out of a ragged and demoralized little band of troops that had taken one beating after another. When there was every reason to assume that the American Revolution had failed militarily, a few individual leaders succeeded in saving it. Washington's personal contribution is evident: knowing that the British could resume their offensive toward Philadelphia when the Delaware froze hard enough to support their crossing, and faced with expiring enlistments that would reduce his army to about 1,400 men on 31 December, Washington decided to make one final military effort. Less well known are the contributions of Thomas Paine and General Thomas Mifflin in whipping up the support Washington needed. The first number of The Crisis was published by Paine on 19 December in the Pennsylvania Journal, with the opening lines "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country." Mifflin undertook a whirlwind tour of Pennsylvania to rally the militia, accomplishing what historian John C. Miller in his Triumph of Freedom has called "probably one of the most important missions of the war."

And on the technical side, too often ignored in attempting to appreciate military operations, the role of Colonel John Glover's men and the Durham boats deserve special mention. (For this see the article on Durham Village.)

Of the three separate sites on the Pennsylvania side, the southernmost is around the present community of Washington Crossing. At the landing area is the Old Ferry Inn (1774), on the north side of Pa. 532 near the bridge. A handsome park memorial building here has an important library, but its main attraction is an excellent copy of the painting by the German artist Emanuel Leutze, Washington Crossing the Delaware. The less said about the artistic and historical qualities of this famous work the better, but it is only fair to acknowledge that "it constitutes an inspiring interpretation of the event in spirit if not in factual detail" (Colonials and Patriots, p. 122). (The original, once on loan here, is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.) The Washington Crossing Monument (1916) overlooks the ferry site.

About 4 miles north on Pa. 32 is another section of the park, where the Patriot troops camped during the period 12 to 25 December 1776. On Bowman's Hill, in a 100-acre wildflower preserve, is a fieldstone memorial observation tower where the Patriots had a lookout. Northwest about 2.5 miles away is the Thompson-Neely House, used before the crossing as headquarters of officers including General William Alexander, Captain William Washington, and Lieutenant James Monroe (one of the few wounded at Trenton, where he distinguished himself, and a future president of the United States). The older section of this handsome, two-story stone house was built in 1702; it is furnished and open to the public. The old gristmill owned by Robert Thompson in 1776 is near the house. Just to the south (0.1 mile) is a 17-acre tract of primitive land maintained as a wildlife preserve with restrictions on visiting. Also in this Bowman's Hill section of the park is a memorial flagstaff over the unmarked gravestones of soldiers who died during the encampment.

In the Borough of New Hope, a short distance north, are two historic houses associated with the crossing. (Neither is open to the public.) The home of John Coryell, 105 South Main Street, built around 1750, marks the northern end of the Patriot defensive position along the Delaware in December 1776. Coryell's Ferry was the name of the village during the period 1765 to 1790. (See the separate section on coryell's ferry.) Near the Town Hall (1790), 0.1 mile away, is the Vansant House on the northwest corner of Mechanic Street. Probably the oldest house in the village, it was built about 1743. The attic walls still show grapeshot from British batteries that fired across the river in 1776. See washington crossing, new jersey.

Wayne Birthplace

Wayne Birthplace, near Paoli. "Waynesboro," the house where Anthony Wayne was born in 1745 and where he followed his father's trade as a tanner until the start of the Revolution, has remained standing and in the Wayne family. The beautiful house has been carefully restored and is visible from Waynesboro Road, opposite the General Wayne Golf Course (Wayne's Borough Country Club). The fence surrounding the private home has a marker. To reach the site, go a short distance east from Paoli on U.S. 30 to Pa. 252 (Leopard Road), turn right (south), drive about 0.8 mile, and turn right on Waynesboro Road. The house is on the right, near a branch of Crum Creek that runs through the golf course. A few miles away is the Wayne Grave.

Wayne Grave

Wayne Grave, St. David's (Radnor) Churchyard, near Wayne (see below). Buried first at Fort Presque Isle (site is in Erie at Sixth and Ash Streets), General "Mad Anthony" Wayne was reinterred near his birthplace in 1809. Old St. David's dates from 1715, and the church structure has been well preserved in its ancient and picturesque churchyard. Wayne's grave is about 50 feet north of the small stone structure.

To reach the site, from U.S. 30 (Lancaster Pike) go south from the Devon Horse Show grounds on Dorset Road for 0.5 mile, continue on Sugartown Road for 0.7 mile around two right-angle curves, and continue 0.6 mile south on Valley Forge Road to the entrance on the right. (New St. David's may be seen on the left, 0.2 mile north.)

The official designation of the church is St. David's Radnor, and published literature available on the site gives its location variously as Devon and Wayne, Pennsylvania. Other authorities place it in Radnor. The explanation of this mystery is simply that the church property is split by three township lines.

Weiser Home and Grave

Weiser Home and Grave, 28 Weiser Road, near Womelsdorf, Berks County. Phone: (610) 589-2934. Conrad Weiser, born in Germany in 1696, came to New York with his family in 1710 and spent the winter of 1712 to 1713 with the Iroquois, becoming a student of Indian culture. Moving to Pennsylvania, he prospered as a farmer and tanner, raised fourteen children, and became a famous trader and treaty maker with the Indians. The site of his trading post, operated from about 1750 to 1760, is marked in Reading in Penn Square between Fifth and Sixth Streets. The property where he built a home in 1729, and where he spent the rest of his life, is preserved as a state park in memory of this enlightened keeper of the peace on the colonial frontier. The park is managed by the PHMC. Another good source of local information is the Historical Society of Berks County. Phone: (610) 375-4375.

White Horse Tavern

White Horse Tavern. Seebattle of the clouds.

Whitemarsh

Whitemarsh, on the Wissahickon Creek, Montgomery County. Before going to Valley Forge for winter quarters in the latter part of December 1777, Washington's army was camped in this area. Although it is now covered by urban development, place-names and some buildings have survived since the Revolution, and much of the terrain is preserved in three separated sections of the 493-acre Fort Washington State Park, other parks, and many country clubs. In Whitemarsh is the George Emlen House, which was Washington's headquarters, and the Hope Lodge State Historic Site, a restored Georgian mansion where General Nathanael Greene was quartered.

When the British were in Philadelphia, General Howe made a night march with most of his army, hoping to catch the Patriots while in a vulnerable situation at Whitemarsh. After pushing in the American outposts, Howe found that Washington's position was too strong, so in mid-afternoon of 7 December he started withdrawing to Philadelphia.

Hope Lodge, 553 South Bethlehem Turnpike in Fort Washington, is a two-story brick mansion with an imposing exterior and a fine interior of molded wainscotings, large fireplaces, and a spacious central hallway. It was built around 1750 and bought not long before the British occupation of Philadelphia by William West, a Philadelphia merchant of the Patriot persuasion whose business sense suggested that this was a good time to acquire property in the suburbs. His nephew and namesake lived in the house as a paroled prisoner, but there is evidence that he did espionage work for the American army. (William West the senior was later involved with General Benedict Arnold in profiteering in Philadelphia.)

In 1784 the mansion was a wedding gift from Henry Hope to his cousin James Watmough, who then gave it its present name. (The Hope Diamond was so called after being acquired by this same international family in 1830.) Hope Lodge was saved from destruction in 1922, restored and refurnished by private owners at that time, and given to the state in 1957. It is maintained by the PHMC and open for tours on Wednesday through Sunday. Forming a crescent around Hope Lodge in Fort Washington State Park are the hills fortified by Washington's army in November to December 1777, since known as Camp Hill, Fort Hill, and Militia Hill. To find Hope Lodge take Exit 339 off the Pennsylvania Turnpike and follow the road past the Holiday Inn. Take a left onto Bethlehem Pike. Hope Lodge will be on the left. Phone: (215) 646-1595.

Wyoming Valley

Wyoming Valley. A 25-mile stretch of the Susquehanna River below the mouth of the Lackawanna River (including modern Wilkes-Barre) was known in colonial times as the Wyoming Valley. (At least a dozen other places were called Wyoming by 1865, when this name was first proposed for the state of Wyoming.) Claimed by Connecticut as well as by Pennsylvania, the valley was the scene of bloody clashes known as the Pennamite Wars. By 1775 the Connecticut element was leading in these intramural contests, but the settlers then started forming new teams for the larger contest, the American Revolution. Loyalists who had come in from the Hudson and Mohawk Valleys were pitted against Whigs (or "Patriots").

In July 1778 the famous Wyoming Valley Massacre occurred. The fifty-three-year-old John Butler led four hundred Loyalists in a remarkable, 200-mile march through the wilderness from Fort Niagara and was joined en route by some five hundred Senecas and Cayugas. The Patriots had been warned of the invasion but were still caught by surprise. In the Battle of Wyoming, 3 July 1778, the raiders wiped out an ineptly led force of three hundred local militia and sixty "regulars." (The latter qualified as such only because Congress had authorized their formation after the best military manpower of the valley had been drained into the Continental army.)

Only sixty Patriots escaped the decisive battle on the afternoon of 3 July. About fourteen captives died that night on "the Bloody Rock" (see below). The raiders ravaged the Wyoming Valley settlements, Loyalists settling old scores and Indians claiming the rewards of victory. More than one thousand houses and other structures were destroyed; more than one thousand head of livestock were carried off. Some two dozen noncombatants were murdered, but perhaps the worst loss of life resulted because panic-stricken fugitives fled without proper provisions over wilderness trails. John Butler reported with "sincerest satisfaction" that his Loyalists and Indians killed no noncombatants.

The major sites figuring in accounts of the massacre are indicated by highway markers. The flat area of pine woods and underbrush where the battle took place is intersected by a wide highway (U.S. 11) in the present town of Wyoming. Here, easily found half a mile south of the traffic light at Eighth Street in the center of Wyoming, is a small park with a 63-foot-high granite monument erected in the 1840s near the scene of the action and "over the bones of the slain." Listed on it are the names of about 45 survivors and 166 slain. Remains of the latter were not collected and buried here in a mass grave until 22 October 1778.

"The Bloody Rock" is about a mile northeast, preserved under a crude grill in a small plot of grass under two large trees between Seventh and Eighth Streets. (From the traffic light mentioned above, go southeast on Eighth Street toward the river for 0.6 mile, then about 100 yards left on Susquehanna Avenue.) Here some fourteen captives were supposedly executed the night of the battle by an Indian woman identified by tradition as "Queen Esther."

Other landmarks, of interest only because their location is marked, are given below in alphabetical order.

Forty Fort, where the town of that name now stands, on U.S. 11, 2 miles below Wyoming. A large cemetery at the principal intersection (Wyoming Avenue, or U.S. 11, and River Street) is about where the first forty settlers from Connecticut built their blockhouse after arriving in 1770. The colony grew, and the Patriots strengthened Forty Fort when they became alarmed about the growing Loyalist activity 2 miles north (now Wyoming) where the fortified house of the Wintermoots was located. It was their base before the Battle of Wyoming, and the place where survivors took refuge with the assembled noncombatants. They all surrendered the next morning with the written stipulation that their lives and property would be protected, fleeing the valley in terror once Butler let them go. The present cemetery, badly damaged in the 1972 flood, has only a few Revolutionary War graves, but one is that of John Jenkins (see Fort Jenkins, below). On River Street and Fort Street rests a huge rock that marks where the fort once stood. A bronze plaque was erected there by the Wyoming Valley DAR Chapter in 1900.

Fort Jenkins, just north of the I-80 bridge, near where U.S. 11 and Pa. 92 now join in West Pittston, about 3 miles above today's Wyoming. It was the home of the Whig John Jenkins, erected in 1776, and almost immediately fortified because the home of the Loyalist Wintermoots was being made into a stronghold. Jenkins's and a smaller "fort" called Exeter were captured and burned by Butler's forces when they first entered the valley on 30 June 1778. The next day the Patriot column advancing from Forty Fort clashed here with Indians who had just killed some men working in a field. Meanwhile, the raiders established themselves around Wintermoot's (see below). Among the three or four Revolutionary graves in the present Forty Fort Cemetery is that of a John Jenkins, most probably the man identified with Fort Jenkins. The highway marker implies that this fort was near the present bridge and the junction of the highways mentioned above, about 3 miles from modern Wyoming. However, after visiting the area in 1848, Benson Lossing put the site 1.5 miles from the battle monument.

Wilkes-Barre Fort (Fort Wyoming), where the public square of today's Wilkes-Barre is located, about 8 miles by road, then and now, from the site of Fort Jenkins. It was first built in 1771 by Pennsylvanians, seized by Connecticut settlers, and rebuilt the year of Butler's raid by enclosing the courthouse. The place was surrendered along with others of the valley the day after the battle. The settlement's twenty-three houses were burned, but enough of the fort survived for it to be the rallying point for the few settlers who did not abandon the valley, and it was the headquarters for the relief column that arrived a month after the Battle of Wyoming. In 1779 the slow-starting punitive expedition under General John Sullivan was at Fort Wyoming for five weeks. In 1784 the fort was destroyed after the postwar garrison was withdrawn.

Wintermoot's Fort, a few hundred yards above "the Bloody Rock," according to Lossing's sketch (op. cit., p. 353). This was where Butler made camp when he entered the valley. Here also he anchored his left flank and stationed himself with his Rangers, while the Indians on the right flank performed the envelopment that led to the Patriot rout on the afternoon of 3 July. (Johnson's Royal Greens were in the center.) The Wintermoots were Loyalists from Minisink Ford, New York who purchased land around the head of the valley before the Revolution, fortified their farm more strongly than the Indian threat appeared to justify, and soon became prominently identified with the Loyalist element in the region.

York

York and vicinity, York County. Pennsylvania's first two counties were Chester (1682) and Lancaster (1728), after which York County was established in 1748 to comprise the territory west of the broad and then bridgeless Susquehanna River, but York Town had been surveyed and founded in 1741.

When the Continental Congress took refuge in York Town, where they held sessions in the courthouse from 30 September 1777 (with five members present) to 24 June 1778, the town had about 300 houses and 1,800 people.

The historic sites of York have been well identified and most of them have been marked so that a visitor can find them on a walking tour, particularly if starting at the York County Heritage Trust, 250 East Market Street (phone: (717) 848-1587), and the excellent regional museum (see below). The Trust offers guided tours as well as guidebooks to help visitors guide themselves through York's well-preserved historical treasures.

The York County Convention and Visitors Bureau has a very informative website, www.yorkpa.org, and also can be contacted by phone at (717) 849-2217. The historical and architectural gems are the Golden Plough Tavern and the General Gates House, adjoining restorations on West Market Street (U.S. 30E) at Pershing Avenue, two blocks west of the surviving public square.

The Golden Plough Tavern, part of what the York County Trust calls the "Colonial Complex," is believed to date from 1741, when Martin Eichelberger, a native of the Black Forest, secured the lot here. This Germanic half-timber house, using brick in the walls of the second story and large gable end, was an architectural oddity when it was built in colonial Pennsylvania (although the style was standard in the Black Forest), and it is one of the few known to exist in America.

The General Gates House—also located in the Colonial Complex at 157 West Market Street—so called because it was his quarters during the first four months of 1778 when he was in York as president of the newly established Board of War, is a simple, two-story stone structure built in 1751. Much is made locally of the story that here Lafayette destroyed the "Conway Cabal" by proposing a toast to Washington after noting that Gates's other guests had pointedly omitted toasting their commander in chief. Washington's reputation had reached its lowest ebb at this time, after a long series of defeats ending with the British occupation of Philadelphia (26 September 1777). Horatio Gates had at about the same time become famous as the victor of Saratoga, and there naturally was considerable talk about giving him the supreme command. It also is of historical record that Lafayette was one of Washington's staunchest supporters, and it should not be forgotten that Lafayette represented French military aid to the colonists. (The historian Van Tyne points out in his War of Independence [Boston, 1929] that 90 percent of the supplies that made the Saratoga victory possible were sent, secretly of course, by France.) But it has never been proved that there was a cabal to oust Washington, much less that Lafayette scuttled it with a French toast.

York can claim to be the first capital of the United States because until the Congress sitting at York adopted the Articles of Confederation (15 November 1777) they had been acting as representatives of the "United Colonies." The printers Hall and Sellers were ordered to York, and from presses set up in a home whose site is marked at Market and Beaver Streets they printed not only the journals of Congress and other publications but also millions of dollars of paper currency. The phrase "not worth a Continental [dollar]" was not coined until the currency collapsed completely in July 1781, but in January 1778, when Hall and Sellers were getting into production, the value of paper money in relation to specie was down 75 percent; a year later it was 90 percent below face value.

Although at least sixty-four delegates attended sessions of Congress at York, not more than half were there at any one time. Yet this rump Congress did some important business, including commissioning a man with false credentials from Benjamin Franklin in Paris (who said he was "a Lieutenant General in the King of Prussia's service," neglecting to point out that this rank equated with brigadier general in the American army). But this deception gave the American cause the invaluable services of a professional military trainer, the Baron von Steuben, whose work at Valley Forge has been well publicized but whose greatest gift was in the more technical business of organizing proper staff procedures and logistical support.

York was the base at one time for the legions of Pulaski and Armand, and was a major center for prisoners of war. Important munitions works were in and around York, including one later called Codorus Furnace that operated until 1850 and has been partially restored. Erected in 1765, and owned for a few years by James Smith, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, it is 2.5 miles northeast of Starview, near the junction of Codorus Creek with the Susquehanna. Other famous forges or furnaces of York County were Mary Ann Furnace, started in 1762 by George Ross, another signer, and Spring Forge, dating from 1755. The latter was a few miles southwest of York near the present Spring Grove; the former was 4 miles southeast of Hanover.

Modern York is a busy town with heavy traffic, but it preserves the original layout of parallel streets. The surviving center square (Market and George Streets) is the site of the old courthouse (completed 1756, torn down in 1841), a model of which is in the museum. Here also is the original courthouse door and its weathervane in the form of a Pulaski dragoon foolishly nicknamed "the Little General." It was made by a local coppersmith in whose family home the famous Polish volunteer stayed when in York.

Penn Common is about five blocks southwest. Then on the outskirts of York Town, this was where Pulaski's Legion camped during March and April 1779. Anthony Wayne's Pennsylvania Line bivouacked here before starting south on 26 May 1781 to join Lafayette in Virginia. Most of the latter troops had recently been involved in the mutiny of 1 to 10 January. Wayne had been prominently involved in settling this affair, showing a tolerant attitude toward their well-justified demands. But when his troops again started muttering about mutiny, dissatisfied this time about being paid in Continental currency at face value, Wayne had four leaders shot on the commons. He then marched the rest of his command past the corpses, which ended that threat to military discipline. Barracks for prisoners of war were erected on Penn Common in the early years of the war. Starting in the spring of 1781, a large prison camp was built on a hill 4 miles east of York. Prisoners included those from Saratoga and Yorktown.

1 Location and Size

Located in the northeastern United States, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the second largest of the three Mid-Atlantic states and ranks 33rd in size among the 50 states. The total area of Pennsylvania is 45,308 square miles (117,348 square kilometers), of which land occupies 44,888 square miles (116,260 square kilometers) and inland water 420 square miles (1,088 square kilometers). The state extends 307 miles (494 kilometers) from east to west and 169 miles (272 kilometers) from north to south. The total boundary length of Pennsylvania is 880 miles (1,416 kilometers).

2 Topography

Pennsylvania may be divided into more than a dozen distinct topographic regions, most of which extend in curved bands from east to south. A narrow coastal plain along the lower Delaware River is the state’s lowest region. Dominating the southeastern corner is the Piedmont Plateau, a wide area of rolling hills and lowlands. The Great Valley runs from the middle of the state’s eastern border to the middle of its southern border. The eastern, central, and western parts of the Great Valley are known as the Lehigh, Lebanon, and Cumberland valleys, respectively. The Appalachian Mountains run from the north-central part of the eastern border to the west-central part of the southern border.

The Allegheny High Plateau, part of the Appalachian Plateaus, makes up the western and northern parts of the state. The Allegheny Front, the escarpment along the eastern edge of the plateau, is the most striking topographical feature in Pennsylvania, dissected by many winding streams to form narrow, steep-sided valleys. The southwestern extension of the Allegheny High Plateau contains the state’s highest peak, Mount Davis, at 3,213 feet (980 meters). A narrow lowland region, the Erie Plain, borders Lake Erie.

Pennsylvania has jurisdiction over about 735 square miles (1,904 square kilometers) of Lake Erie. The state has about 250 natural lakes larger than 20 acres (8 hectares).The largest natural

lake within the state’s borders is Conneaut Lake, with an area of less than 1.5 square miles (39 square kilometers). The largest manmade lake is Lake Wallenpaupack in the Poconos, occupying about 9 square miles (23 square kilometers).

Major rivers include the Susquehanna, Delaware, Allegheny, and Monongahela rivers. The Beaver, Clarion, and Youghiogheny rivers are also important.

3 Climate

Although Pennsylvania lies entirely within the humid continental zone, its climate varies according to region and elevation. The region with the warmest temperatures is the low-lying southeast, in the Ohio and Monongahela river valleys. The region bordering Lake Erie receives the moderating effect of the lake, which prevents early spring and late autumn frosts. The rest of the state, at higher elevations, has cold winters and cool summers.

Among the major population centers, Philadelphia has an annual average temperature of 55°f (12°c) and Pittsburgh has an annual average of 51°f (10°c). In the cooler northern areas, Scranton has a normal annual average ranging from 40°f (4°c) to 59°f (15°c). Erie has a normal annual average ranging from 41°f (5°c) to 57°f (13°c). The record low temperature for the state is -42°f (-41°c), set at Smethport on 5 January 1904. The record high, 111°f (44°c), was reached on 10 July 1936 in Phoenixville.

Philadelphia receives about 40.9 inches (103 centimeters) of precipitation annually and Pittsburgh receives about 37 inches (93 centimeters) per year. Pittsburgh, however, has much more snow, with about 43.1 inches (109 centimeters) annually, compared with 21 inches (52 centimeters) per year in Philadelphia. The snowfall in Erie, in the snow belt, averages 85.5 inches (217 centimeters) per year. The state has experienced several destructive floods. Tornados have also occurred.

4 Plants and Animals

Maple, walnut, and poplar are among the species that fill Pennsylvania’s extensive forests, along with sassafras and sycamore. Mountain laurel (the state flower) and June-berry are among the shrubs and small trees found in most parts of the state. Wintergreen and wild ginger are also common. In 2006, the small whorled pogonia and Virginia spirea were classified as threatened plant species, with the northeastern bulrush also listed as endangered.

Numerous mammals are found in Pennsylvania, among them the white-tailed deer (the state animal), black bear, red and gray foxes, and common cottontail. Native amphibians include the hellbender and Fowler’s toad. Among reptilian species are five varieties of lizard. The ruffed grouse, a common game species, is the official state bird. Other game birds are the wood dove and ring-necked pheasant. The robin, cardinal, and English sparrow are common nongame birds.

More than 170 types of fish have been identified in the state, with brook trout, pirate perch, and white bass among the common native varieties. In 2006, the US Fish and Wildlife Service listed 12 species as threatened or endangered, including the Indiana bat, bald eagle, orangefoot pimpleback pearlymussel, dwarf wedgemussel, and pink mucket pearlymussel.

Pennsylvania Population by Race

Census 2000 was the first national census in which the instructions to respondents said, “Mark one or more races.” This table shows the number of people who are of one, two, or three or more races. For those claiming two races, the number of people belonging to the various categories is listed. The U.S. government conducts a census of the population every ten years.

5 Environmental Protection

The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) was established to maintain and preserve state parks, manage state forest land, and provide information on the state’s ecological and geologic resources. The DCNR also oversees environmental education and provides assistance and grants for preserving rivers, community trails, parks, and recreation. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) was established to protect the state’s air, land, and water from pollution and to provide a cleaner environment for the health and safety of Pennsylvania’s citizens.

Sewage and industrial wastes are the major pollutants in areas with high industrial and population concentrations. In western and parts of central Pennsylvania, drainage from abandoned bituminous coal mines has created serious water quality problems. Active mines in this region were also potentially polluting.

In March 1979, Pennsylvania suffered the worst nuclear power accident in US history when a nuclear reactor on Three Mile Island malfunctioned and radioactive gases escaped. A second reactor was shut down immediately even though it was not damaged. The cleanup of radioactive waste cost about $1 billion, and it was not until late 1985 that the undamaged unit was placed back in operation.

After miners were trapped (and successfully rescued) in an accident at Quecreek Mine in July 2002, the DEP launched a program to build a database of abandoned mine locations to minimize the risk of another such accident occurring.

In 2003, Pennsylvania had 572 hazardous waste sites listed in the Environmental Protection Agency’s database, 94 of which were on the National Priorities List in 2006. In 1996, there were 404,000 acres of wetlands in the state.

6 Population

In 2005, Pennsylvania ranked sixth in the United States in population with an estimated total of 12,440,621 residents. The population is projected to reach 12.8 million by 2025. The population density in 2004 was 276.9 persons per square mile (106.9 persons per square kilometer). The median age in 2004 was 39.3. In 2005, about 15% of all residents were 65 years old or older and 23% were 18 or younger.

In 2005, Philadelphia was the largest city in the state and the fifth-largest in the United States. That year, the city had an estimated population of 1,463,281. Pittsburgh’s population was 316,718 the same year. Other leading cities in 2005 were Allentown, with an estimated 106,992 residents; Erie, 102,612; Reading, 80,855; Scranton, 73,120; Bethlehem, 72,895; Lancaster, 54,757; Harrisburg, 47,472; and Altoona, 47,176.

7 Ethnic Groups

According to the 2000 census, there were 18,348 Native American residents in the state. Black Americans numbered 1,224,612 (10% of the total state population). Hispanics and Latinos in Pennsylvania numbered 394,088, most of whom were Puerto Ricans, with smaller numbers of Cubans and Central Americans. Asians numbered 219,813, including 50,650 Chinese, 31,612 Koreans, 57,241 Asian Indians, 14,506 Filipinos, and 30,037 Vietnamese. Pacific Islanders numbered 3,417.

In 2000, about 508,291 Pennsylvania residents, or 4.1% of the total population, were foreign born. Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, India, the former Soviet Union, Korea, and Poland were the leading countries of origin.

In 2006, about 10.1% of the population was black, 4.0% was Hispanic or Latino, and 2.2% was Asian.

8 Languages

Although not quite uniform, Pennsylvania’s North Midland dialect is significant as the source of much Midwestern and western speech. The only non-Midland sector is the northern group of counties, settled from southern New York, where features of the Northern dialect predominate. In Southern Pennsylvania common terms include roasting ears (corn on the cob) and spiket (spigot). Western Pennsylvania, however, contrasts with the eastern half by the dominance of terms such as hap (quilt) and clothes press (closet). In much of central Pennsylvania, descendants of the colonial Palatinate German population retain their speech as Deutsch, often misnamed Pennsylvania Dutch.

In 2000, some 91.6% of the population five years old or older spoke only English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Spanish, 356,754; Italian, 70,434; and German, 68,672.

9 Religions

With a long history of toleration, Pennsylvania has been a haven for numerous religious groups. The first European settlers were Swedish Lutherans. William Penn brought the Quakers to Pennsylvania during the 1680s. Other early groups included German Mennonites, Dunkars, Moravians, and Schwenkfelders; French Huguenots; Scots-Irish Presbyterians; and English Baptists. The Mennonites and the Quakers were the first religious groups to openly advocate the abolition of slavery and to help runaway slaves to freedom via the Underground Railroad.

The Amish-Mennonite followers of Jacob Amman continue to dress in black clothing and to shun the use of mechanized tools, automobiles, and electrical appliance. The Presbyterians, who built their first church in the state in 1704, played a major role both in the establishment of schools in the colony and in the later development of Pittsburgh and other cities in the western part of the state. In 1872, clergyman Charles Taze Russell formed a new group in Pittsburgh first called the Russellites; members of this group are known today as Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Roman Catholics are the largest religious group in the state, with a total membership of about of 3,686,088 in 2004. In 2005, the United Church of Christ reported 182,779 members. In 2004, the Untied Methodist Church reported 471,311 members.

Other major Protestant groups (with 2000 membership figures) were the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, 611,913; the Presbyterian Church USA, 324,714; the American Baptist Church USA, 132,858; and the Episcopal Church, 116,511.

The historically important Mennonites, of various traditions, had over 68,000 adherents in 2000. Amish communities had over 25,000 members and Moravians numbered over 10,000. Friends USA (Quakers) reported a membership of about 11,844. Jewish congregations included an estimated 283,000 members and the Muslim congregations had about 71,190 adherents. About 5.1 million people (42.1% of the population) were not counted as members of any religious organization.

10 Transportation

As of 2003, the major (Class I) lines using the state’s 6,942 rail miles (11,176 kilometers) of track were the Consolidated Rail Corporation, or Conrail, owned by CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern. In 2003, Pennsylvania had 60 railroads in operation, more than any other state. Amtrak operates around 100 daily trains through Pennsylvania, offering passenger service to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and other cities along the east–west route, and from Philadelphia to New York and Washington, DC, along the northeast corridor.

Mass transit systems exist in metropolitan Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. Mass transit systems also operate in Altoona, Allentown, Erie, Harrisburg, Johnstown, Lancaster, Reading, Scranton, State College, and Wilkes-Barre. The Philadelphia Rapid Transit System, the state’s first subway, was established in 1902. It is operated by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), which also runs buses, trolleys, trackless trolleys, and commuter trains in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. In 1985, a 1.1-mile (1.8-kilometer) subway was opened in Pittsburgh as part of a 10.5-mile (16.9-kilometer) light-rail (trolley) transit system linking downtown Pittsburgh with the South Hills section of the city.

Throughout its history, Pennsylvania has been home to many pioneers in road transportation. During the mid-1700s, a Lancaster County artisan developed an improved wagon for transporting goods across the Alleghenies. Called a Conestoga wagon after the region from which it came, this vehicle later became the prime means of transport for westward pioneers. Another major improvement in land transportation came with the opening in 1792 of the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike, one of the first stone-surfaced roads in the United States. The steel-cable suspension bridge built by John Roebling over the Monongahela River at Pittsburgh in 1846 revolutionized bridge building, leading to the construction of spans longer and wider than had previously been thought possible.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike opened in 1940. It was the first high speed, multilane, toll highway in the United States. In 2004, Pennsylvania had 120,623 miles (194,203 kilometers) of public roads. Besides the Turnpike, the major highways are I-80 (Keystone Shortway), I-81, and I-79. As of 2004, there were 9.9 million motor vehicles registered, including 5.5 million automobiles, 3.7 million trucks, and 29,000 buses. There were 8,430,142 licensed drivers in the state in 2004.

With access to the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes and with such navigable waterways as the Delaware, Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio rivers, Pennsylvania was an early leader in water transportation. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Erie are the state’s major shipping ports. Although no longer the dominant gateway to the Mississippi, Pittsburgh is still a major inland port. Erie is the state’s port on the Great Lakes.

In 2005, Pennsylvania had 468 airports, 329 heliports, 10 seaplane bases, and 3 STOLports (Short Take-Off and Landing). The busiest air terminal in the state was the Philadelphia International Airport, which had 13.8 million enplanements in 2004. The Greater Pittsburgh Airport was the next busiest airport with 6.6 million enplanements the same year.

11 History

The first Europeans to sail up the Delaware River found the Leni-Lenape (later called the Delaware) and other Algonquian tribes, including the Nanticoke and the Shawnee. The other major Native American group in Pennsylvania was the Iroquoian, which included the Susquehanna (Conestoga), Wyandot, and Erie tribes. The Iroquoian Confederacy of the Five Nations, located in what is now New York, destroyed the Erie in the 1640s, the Susquehanna by 1680, and conquered the Leni-Lenape by 1720 but failed to destroy them.

The first European to reach Pennsylvania was probably the Dutchman Cornelis Jacobssen, who in 1614 entered Delaware Bay. In 1638, the Swedes began farming along the Delaware River. They established a post at Tinicum Island (1643) and several forts along the Schuylkill River. The Dutch conquered the Swedish territories in 1655 but surrendered the land to the English in 1664.

British Rule In 1681 King Charles II granted the region to William Penn, who belonged to the Society of Friends (Quakers), a Protestant sect persecuted for its ideas of equality and pacifism. Penn intended to make the region—named Pennsylvania in honor of his father—a refuge for all persecuted peoples. From the beginning, Penn gave up nearly all his lawmaking power over the new colony, allowing landowners to vote and establishing a governing council to exercise legislative, executive, and judicial power.

As Pennsylvania’s government evolved, its population grew steadily, with most of the first immigrants coming from the British Isles and Germany. A key issue during the pre-Revolutionary period was the size and extent of the colony, of which all boundaries except the Delaware River were disputed. In 1763, after a lengthy struggle, Pennsylvania and Maryland agreed to have Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon establish the famous Mason-Dixon line.

Pennsylvania moved rapidly toward independence after the British victory in the French and Indian War. The Continental Congress began meeting in Philadelphia in September 1774, and the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed from Independence Hall in that city on 4 July 1776. General George Washington set up winter headquarters at Valley Forge, remaining there from December 1777 to June 1778. The British, who had occupied Philadelphia since September 1777 evacuated the city by the spring of 1778, and Congress reconvened there on 2 July. Philadelphia would serve as the US capital until 1783, and again from 1790 to 1800.

Statehood In 1780, Pennsylvania passed the first state law abolishing slavery. Seven years later, Pennsylvania became the second state to ratify the US Constitution and join the Union.

In 1790, Pennsylvania adopted a new constitution, modeled on the federal one, allowing all taxpaying males to vote. Four years later, western Pennsylvania settlers, opposed to a federal excise tax on distilled spirits, waged the Whiskey Rebellion, which was soon suppressed by state troops under federal command.

By 1800, the first stages of industrialization were at hand. Pittsburgh’s first iron furnace was built in 1792. The completion of the Main Line of Public Works, a canal and rail system connecting Philadelphia with Pittsburgh, was a major development of the early 19th century. The 1840s saw not only an influx of Irish immigrants but also the rise of the Native American (Know-Nothing) Party, an anti-Catholic movement. The antislavery crusade, which gave birth to the Republican Party, influenced state politics during the following decade.

The majority of Pennsylvanians voted for Republican Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Pennsylvania rallied to the Union cause, supplying some 338,000 men, a figure exceeded only by New York. The state was the scene of the Battle of Gettysburg (1–3 July 1863), a turning point in the Civil War. Under General George Gordon Meade, the Union troops defeated Confederate forces under General Robert E. Lee, who was then forced to lead a retreat to Virginia.

After the Civil War In the post–Civil War years, the state was dominated by industry. Between 1890 and 1900, Pennsylvania was the nation’s chief producer of coal, iron, and steel, and for much of that period the main source of petroleum and lumber. Farmers’ sons and daughters joined immigrants from abroad in flocking to urban centers to work in mines, mills, and factories. As the state’s industrial wealth increased, education, journalism, literature, art, and architecture flourished in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Industrial leaders—supported both by the Republican state government and by popular opinion—smashed labor’s efforts to unite, particularly in the great steel strike of 1919. Despite the nationwide economic boom of the 1920s, Pennsylvania’s industrial growth rate was low. Coal, textiles, and agriculture, all basic to the state’s economy, were depressed during that period.

The disastrous depression of the 1930s brought major changes to Pennsylvania. George H. Earle, the state’s first Democratic governor since 1890, successfully introduced a “Little” New Deal, supporting labor, regulating utilities, aiding farmers, and building public works. Full employment and prosperity returned to Pennsylvania with new demands for steel, ships, munitions, and uniforms during World War II.

After World War II Pennsylvania ranked fifth in the nation in manufacturing by 1958. Markets, transportation, banks, factories, machinery, and skilled labor remained abundant, and two Democratic governors were able to attract new industries to the state during the 1950s and early 1960s. Republican Governor Raymond P. Shafer (1967–71) was as forward-looking as his predecessors in his efforts to rehabilitate the economy. The 1873 constitution was extensively revised at a constitutional convention held in 1967–68, during Shafer’s administration.

During his first term (1971–75), Democratic governor Milton J. Shapp secured passage of a state income tax to pay for new social programs. He also championed the consumer with no-fault auto insurance, adopted in 1974. Shapp’s successor, Republican Richard L. Thornburgh, had scarcely been elected before a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island malfunctioned in March 1979, releasing radioactive gases into the air. The disaster confronted Pennsylvania and the nation with vexing questions concerning the safety and wisdom of atomic power.

In the mid-1980s, Pennsylvania found itself confronted with the problem of completing the transition from a manufacturing to a service economy. By the mid-1990s, steel was no longer the mainstay industry in Pennsylvania, although the state still led the nation in production of specialty

steel. Philadelphia had become a center for high-technology industries and Pittsburgh became an attractive location for corporate headquarters.

In 1994, Republican Tom Ridge was elected governor. During his first term, he approved deregulation of the state’s utilities, a move which helped the consumer economy by lowering utility bills, but cut tax revenues. Following the terrorist attacks on the United States of 11 September 2001, President George W. Bush appointed Ridge as the head a new federal department of homeland security.

Democrat Ed Rendell succeeded Ridge as governor in 2003; he was reelected in a landslide in 2006. His 2005 “Plan for a New Pennsylvania” offered proposals to increase educational funding, reduce property taxes, and expand prescription drug programs for seniors.

12 State Government

The Pennsylvania General Assembly consists of a 50-member senate, elected to staggered four-year terms, and a 203-member house of representatives, elected every two years.

As head of the executive branch and chief executive offices of the state, the governor of Pennsylvania has the power to appoint heads of administrative departments, boards, and commissions,

to approve or veto legislation, to grant pardons, and to command the state’s military forces. Other Pennsylvania officials also elected for four years are the lieutenant governor, auditor general, state treasurer, and attorney general.

A bill may be introduced in either house of the Pennsylvania General Assembly. After the measure is passed by majority vote in each house, the governor has ten days in which to sign it, refuse to sign it (in which case it becomes law), or veto it. Vetoes may be overridden by a two-thirds vote of the elected members of each house. A bill becomes effective 60 days after enactment.

The legislative salary in 2004 was $66,203.55 and the governor’s salary was $155,753.

13 Political Parties

The Republican Party totally dominated Pennsylvania politics from 1860, when the first Republican governor was elected, to the early 1930s, and again from 1939 through 1955. Since the mid-1950s, however, Pennsylvania has emerged as a two-party state, and Democrats elected governors in 1954, 1958, 1970, 1974, 1986, 1990, 2002, and 2006. Republicans won the governorship in 1962, 1966, 1978, 1982, 1994, and 1998. Democrat Ed Rendell was reelected governor in 2006.

Both US Senate seats were held by Republicans from 1968 to 1991. In November of 1991, a little-known Democrat and former college president named Harris Wofford defeated former governor Richard Thornburgh for the seat of Senator John Heinz, who died in 1991. In 1994, Republican Rick Santorum, a Congressman from the Pittsburgh area, defeated Wofford. Santorum was reelected in 2000 but was defeated by Democrat Bob Casey Jr. in 2006. The other senator is Republican Arlan Specter, who was elected to a fifth term in 2004. Following the 2006 midterm elections, Pennsylvania’s 19 seats in the US House of Representatives were held by 11 Democrats and 8 Republicans. Following those elections, there were 29 Republicans and 21 Democrats in the state senate and 102 Republicans and 101 Democrats in the state house. Thirty-four women were elected to the state legislature in 2006, or 13.4%.

In 2004 there were 8,367,000 registered voters. In 1998, 48% of registered voters were Democratic, 42% Republican, and 9% unaffiliated or members of other parties. In 2000, Democratic Al Gore garnered 51% of the presidential election vote and Republican George W. Bush received 47%. In 2004, Democrat John Kerry won 50.8% of the vote while President Bush received 48.6%.

14 Local Government

As of 2005, Pennsylvania had 67 counties, 1,018 municipal governments, 501 school districts, and 1,885 special districts. In 2002, there were 1,546 townships.

Under home-rule laws, municipalities may choose to draft and amend their own charter. The chief governing body in each county is a three-member board of commissioners. Other elected officials generally include the sheriff, district attorney, and treasurer. There are nine classes of counties and four classes of cities, based on population. The only first-class city, Philadelphia, is governed by a mayor and city council. Both Pittsburgh and Scranton are classified as second-class cities and are governed under mayor-council systems.

Boroughs are governed under mayor-council systems giving the council strong powers. Other elected officials are the tax assessor, tax collector, and auditor or controller. The state’s first-class townships are governed by elected commissioners; second-class townships have three supervisors who are elected at large.

15 Judicial System

Since 1968, all Pennsylvania courts have been organized under the Unified Judicial System. The highest court in the state is the supreme court, established in 1722, making it the oldest appeals court in the United States. In general, the supreme court hears appeals from the commonwealth court. A separate appeals court, called the superior court, hears appeals from the courts of common pleas.

In counties other than Philadelphia, misdemeanors and other minor offenses are tried by district justices, formerly known as justices of the peace. The state’s violent crime rate in 2004 was 411.1 reported incidents per 100,000 persons. Crimes against property were reported at a rate of about 2,415 per 100,000 people. In December 2004, there were 40,963 inmates held in state and federal corrections facilities. Pennsylvania imposes the death penalty and executed three persons between 1976 and 2006. In January 2006, there were 231 persons under sentence of death.

16 Migration

When William Penn’s followers arrived in Pennsylvania, they joined small groups of Dutch, Swedish, and Finnish immigrants who were already settled along the Delaware River. In 1683, the Frankfort Land Company founded the Mennonite community of Germantown on 6,000 acres (2,400 hectares) east of the Schuylkill River. The Moravians, from Saxony, settled primarily in Bethlehem and Nazareth, and the Amish in Lancaster and Reading.

During the 19th century, more immigrants settled in Pennsylvania than in any other state except New York. Between 1840 and 1890, the anthracite mines in east-central Pennsylvania attracted the Irish, Welsh, and Slavs. Scotch-Irish, Italian, Austrian, Hungarian, and Polish (and, after 1880, Russian) immigrants worked the western coal fields. The cities attracted Italian, French, and Slavic workers. East European and Russian Jews settled in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh between 1882 and 1900. By the turn of the century, the urban population surpassed the rural population.

During the 20th century, these patterns have been reversed. The trend among whites, particularly since World War II, has been to move out from the cities to the suburbs and from Pennsylvania to other states. Blacks, who began entering the state first as slaves and then as freemen, continued to migrate to the larger cities until the early 1970s, when a small out-migration began.

Between 1990 and 1998, the state had a net loss of 219,000 in domestic migration but a net gain of 104,000 in international migration. In the period 1995–2000, some 668,753 people moved into the state and 800,049 moved out, for a net loss of 131,296; of these, 92,385 moved to Florida. For the period 2000–05, net international migration was 102,470 and net internal migration was -28,012 for a net gain of 74,458 people.

17 Economy

Dominated by coal and steel, Pennsylvania is an important contributor to the national economy, but its role has diminished considerably since the early 20th century. Declines in coal and steel production and the loss of other industries have not been entirely counterbalanced by gains in other areas, despite a steady expansion of machinery production, increased tourism, and the growth of service-related industries and trade.

Manufacturing, the second largest employer in Pennsylvania, lost about 350,000 jobs during the 1980s. During the 1980s and 1990s, Pennsylvania’s aging factories faced severe competition from foreign producers. Services, in contrast, added about 375,000 jobs. The fastest growing service industries were concentrated in the medical and health fields.

From 1998 to 2000, Pennsylvania’s economy grew at an average rate of 4.75%. Growth was cut by more than half to 2.2% during the national recession of 2001. Manufacturing output fell, although revenues from trade and services increased in the early 2000s. In 2001, Pennsylvania’s gross state product (GSP) was $408.4 billion, the sixth largest among the states. In 2004, an estimated 33,188 new businesses were established while 34,507 businesses closed.

18 Income

In 2005, Pennsylvania had a gross state product (GSP) of $487 billion, ranking sixth among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. In 2004, Pennsylvania ranked 19th among the 50 states and the District of Columbia with a per capita (per person) income of $33,312; the national average was $33,050. The average annual median household income for 2002–04 was $44,286 compared to the national average of $44,473. For the same period, 10.4% of the population lived below the federal poverty level, compared to the national average of 12.4%.

19 Industry

At different times throughout its history, Pennsylvania has been the nation’s principal producer of ships, iron, chemicals, lumber, oil, textiles, glass, coal, and steel. Although it is still a major manufacturing center, Pennsylvania’s industrial leadership has diminished steadily during the last century.

In 2004, the shipment value of products manufactured in the state was over $190 billion. Chemical manufacturing accounted for the largest share of that total, followed by food manufacturing and primary metal manufacturing.

Pittsburgh is a popular site for corporate headquarters. Among the leading companies headquartered there are USX (formerly US Steel), Westinghouse Electric, Aluminum Company of America, and H. J. Heinz.

20 Labor

In April 2006, the civilian labor force in Pennsylvania numbered 6,318,700, with approximately 299,400 workers unemployed, yielding an unemployment rate of 4.7%, which was also the national average for the same period. In 2006, 4.4% of the labor force was employed in construction; 11.6% in manufacturing; 19.7% in trade, transportation, and public utilities; 5.8% in financial activities; 11.6% in professional and business services; 18.3% in education and health services; 8.5% in leisure and hospitality services, and 13% in government.

The history of unionism in Pennsylvania dates back to 1724 when Philadelphia workers organized the Carpenters’ Company, the first crafts association in the colonies. Its Carpenters’ Hall gained fame as the site of the First Continental Congress in 1774. The carpenters were also responsible for the first strike in the United States in 1791. The nation’s first labor union was organized by Philadelphia shoemakers in 1794. By 1827, the Mechanics’ Union of Trade Associations, the country’s first central labor body, was striking for a 10-hour workday and was the impetus behind the formation of the Organized Workingman’s Party. After the Civil War ended, the Knights of Labor was established in Philadelphia in 1869.

The coal fields were sites of violent organizing struggles. In 1835, low wages and long hours sparked the first general mine strikes, which proved unsuccessful. During the 1850s and 1870s, a secret society known as the Molly Maguires led uprisings in the anthracite fields, but its influence ended after the conviction of its leaders for terrorist activities. The Steel Workers Organizing Committee, later the United Steelworkers, won a contract and improved benefits from US Steel in 1937, although other steel companies held out until the early 1940s, when the Supreme Court forced recognition of the union.

In 2005, some 753,000 of Pennsylvania’s 5,456,000 employed wage and salary workers were members of unions, representing 13.8% of those so employed. The national average was 12%.

21 Agriculture

Pennsylvania ranked 20th among the 50 states in agricultural income in 2005, with receipts of nearly $4.7 billion. Most farms in the state produce crops and dairy items for Philadelphia and other major eastern markets. As of 2004, there were about 58,200 farms averaging 132 acres (54 hectares) in size. The leading farm areas were all in southeastern Pennsylvania. Lancaster County is by far the most productive, followed by the counties of Chester, Berks, Franklin, and Lebanon.

Field crops in 2004 included hay (4.2 million tons), corn for grain (137 million), soybeans (10.5 million bushels), wheat, oats, and barley. Pennsylvania is a major producer of mushrooms and greenhouse and nursery crops. Other crops are fresh vegetables, potatoes, strawberries, apples, pears, peaches, grapes, and cherries (sweet and tart). The value of fresh market vegetables exceeded $70.4 million in 2004. The value of vegetables for processing was $10.9 million.

22 Domesticated Animals

Most of Pennsylvania’s farm income stems from livestock production, primarily in Lancaster County. In 2005, there were an estimated 1.63 million cattle and calves, valued at $1.8 billion. During 2004, there were about 1.1 million hogs and pigs, worth $106.9 million. In 2003, the state produced 7 million pounds (3.2 million kilograms) of sheep and lambs, which brought in $7.5 million in gross income. Pennsylvania is a leading producer of chickens in the United States, selling 44.2 million pounds (20 million kilograms) in 2003. An estimated 10.4 billion pounds (4.7 billion kg) of milk (fourth among the 50 states) was produced from 575,000 milk cows in the same year.

23 Fishing

There is very little commercial fishing in Pennsylvania. In 2004, the commercial catch was only 14,000 pounds (640 kilograms), worth $38,000. In 2001, there were 5 processing and 34 wholesale plants in the state with about 976 employees.

The state’s many lakes and streams make it a popular area for sport fishing. Walleye, trout, and salmon were the leading species. There are two national fish hatcheries in the state. In 2004, Pennsylvania issued 1,018,756 sport fishing licenses.

24 Forestry

Pennsylvania’s forests cover 58% (16,585,000 acres/6,712,000 hectares) of the total land area. For the northeastern United States, public ownership is high at 26% (4,403,000 acres/1,782,000 hectares), mostly owned by the commonwealth. The 1989 Forest Inventory identified 90 different tree species. Eagles and ospreys are making a comeback to state forests. There is a resident elk herd (the largest east of the Mississippi), coyotes have moved in, and river otters and fishers have been reintroduced.

The forest products industry and forest-based recreation are very important to Pennsylvania’s economy. In 2004, the total lumber production was 1.1 billion board feet, or 2.3% of the US total.

Camping, fishing, hiking, and hunting are traditional Pennsylvania pastimes and the clean streams, vistas, and flora and fauna of the forest provide a focal point for these activities.

25 Mining

In 2003, the value of mineral production in Pennsylvania was estimated at $1.26 billion. The most valuable mineral was crushed stone, which amounted to 96 million metric tons. Other important minerals were portland cement, with production of 6.13 million metric tons (third in the United States), and construction sand and gravel, with 18 million metric tons. Together, crushed stone, cement, and construction sand and gravel accounted for almost 92% of the total mineral production value. Pennsylvania ranked 10th among the states in value of its minerals in 2003. Although no metals were mined in Pennsylvania, the state was the nation’s fifth-leading producer of raw steel, processing about 5.53 million metric tons in 2003.

26 Energy and Power

In 2003, total electricity generation was 206.3 billion kilowatt hours. About 56.2% of all electricity was generated at coal-fired plants and 36% came from nuclear power generation.

Pennsylvania’s nuclear power production dropped abruptly on 28 March 1979, when a malfunction at the Unit 2 plant at Three Mile Island near Harrisburg caused the reactor’s containment building to fill up with radioactive water. Some radioactive steam was vented into the atmosphere and thousands of residents of nearby areas were temporarily evacuated. Metropolitan Edison’s Unit I plant was also shut down after the accident but was reopened in fall 1985. Operating nuclear plants in Pennsylvania as of 2006 were Peach Bottom, Beaver Valley, Susquehanna, Limerick, and Unit 1 of the Three Mile Island plant.

The nation’s first oil well was struck in Titusville in 1859. Oil reserves totaled 12 million barrels in 2004. Production was at 7,000 barrels per day that year. Marketed natural gas production in 2004 was 159.8 billion cubic feet (4.5 billion cubic meters). Estimated reserves of dry or consumer grade natural gas as of 2004 were over 2.3 billion cubic feet (67.7 billion cubic meters). Virtually all the state’s commercial oil and gas reserves lie beneath the Allegheny High Plateau, in western Pennsylvania.

Coal is the state’s most valuable mineral commodity, accounting for more than two-thirds of all mine income. In 2004, Pennsylvania’s mining companies produced 69.9 million short tons of coal. Pennsylvania is the only state to produce both anthracite (hard) coal and bituminous (soft or brown) coal. Bituminous coal is mined in Washington, Clearfield, Greene, Cambria, Armstrong, Somerset, Clarion, Allegheny, and 19 other counties in the western part of the state. Anthracite mining is concentrated in Schuylkill, Luzerne, Lackawanna, Northumberland, Carbon, Columbia, Sullivan, and Dauphin counties in the east. Recoverable coal reserves as of 2004 totaled 614 million short tons.

27 Commerce

Philadelphian John Wanamaker opened the world’s first department store in 1876; by 2002, Pennsylvania had about 48,041 retail establishments. Pennsylvania’s wholesale sales totaled $183.7 billion in 2002; retail sales were $130.7 billion. The leading type of retail establishments were food and beverage stores, followed by clothing and clothing accessories stores. In 2005, total exports of Pennsylvania goods had a value of $22.2 billion (ninth in the United States).

28 Public Finance

Pennsylvania’s budget is prepared annually by the Office of Budget and submitted by the governor to the Pennsylvania General Assembly for amendment and approval. By law, annual operating expenditures may not exceed available revenues and surpluses from prior years. The fiscal year runs from 1 July to 30 June.

The revenues for the state government in 2004 were $69.2 billion and expenditures were $57.3 billion. The largest general expenditures were for public welfare ($16.7 billion), education ($15.3 billion), and highways ($4 billion). The state debt exceeded $25.9 billion, or $2,097.45 per capita (per person).

29 Taxation

Pennsylvania’s personal income tax is levied at a flat rate of 3.07%. The corporate income tax is a flat rate of 9.99%. Pennsylvania’s sales and use tax is 6%. Local sales taxes are limited to an additional 1%. There are selective sales taxes on such items as gasoline and cigarettes.

The state collected $27.2 billion in taxes in 2005, of which 29.6% came from the general sales tax, 30.4% came from individual income taxes, 18.9% from selective sales taxes, and 6.2% from corporate income taxes. In 2005, Pennsylvania ranked 22nd among the states in terms of per capita tax burden, which amounted to $2,193 per person, compared to the national average of $2,192 per person.

In 2005, Pennsylvania’s infant mortality rate was 6.9 per 1,000 live births. The crude death rate in 2003 was 10.5 per 1,000 population. As of 2004, about 22.6% of all state residents were smokers. As of 2002, the death rates for major causes of death (per 100,000 resident population) included heart disease, 315; cancer, 242; cerebrovascular diseases, 69.5; chronic lower respiratory diseases, 48.8; and diabetes, 30.1. The death rate for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was reported at 4 per 100,000. In 2004, the reported acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases rate was at about 13.1 per 100,000.

Pennsylvania’s 201 community hospitals had 40,900 beds in 2003. The average expense for hospital care was $1,326 per inpatient day. In 2004, about 12% of Pennsylvania’s residents were uninsured. There were 332 physicians per 100,000 residents in 2004 and 995 nurses per 100,000 in 2005. In 2004, there were a total of 7,789 dentists in the state.

The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, which originated as the medical school of the College of Philadelphia in 1765, is the nation’s oldest medical school. One of the nation’s newest is the Hershey Medical Center of Pennsylvania State University. Other medical schools in Pennsylvania are the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Temple University’s School of Medicine, the Medical College of Pennsylvania, and Allegheny University, the last three in Philadelphia. The state also has colleges of osteopathic medicine, podiatric medicine, and optometry—all in Philadelphia. Among the many medical certification boards located in Philadelphia are the boards of allergy and immunology, internal medicine, ophthalmology, and surgery.

31 Housing

In 2004, there were 5,385,729 housing units in Pennsylvania, 4,817,757 of which were occupied; 72.8% were owner-occupied. About 57.6% of all units were single-family, detached homes. About 30.7% of all units were built in 1939 or earlier. Utility gas and fuel oil were the most common sources of energy for heating. It was estimated that 135,756 units lacked telephone services, 23,755 lacked complete plumbing facilities, and 28,415 lacked complete kitchen facilities. The average household had 2.48 members.

In 2004, some 49,700 new privately owned housing units were authorized for construction. The median home value was $116,520. The median monthly cost for mortgage owners was $1,114, while renters paid a median of $611 per month.

32 Education

From colonial times until the 1830s, almost all instruction in reading and writing took place in private schools. Called “dame schools” in the cities and “neighborhood schools” in rural areas, they offered primary courses, usually taught by women in their own homes. In addition, the Quakers, Moravians, and Scots-Irish Presbyterians all formed their own private schools, emphasizing religious study. Many communities also set up secondary schools, called academies, on land granted by the state. By 1850, there were 524 academies, some of which later developed into colleges. A public school law passed in 1834.

As of 2004, 86.5% of the population 25 years old and older had completed four years of high school and 25.3% had obtained a bachelor’s degree or higher.

Total public school enrollment was estimated at 1,817,000 in fall 2002. Expenditures for public education in 2003/04 were estimated at $20.7 billion. Enrollment in nonpublic schools in fall 2003 was 316,337.

As of fall 2002, there were 654,826 students enrolled in college or graduate school. In 2005, Pennsylvania had 262 degree-granting institutions. Indiana University of Pennsylvania, established in 1872, accounted for about 15% of all enrollment. Four universities have nonprofit corporate charters but are classified as state-related: Pennsylvania State University, Temple University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Lincoln University. Of these, Penn State is by far the largest. Founded in 1855 as the Farmers’ High School of Pennsylvania, Penn State now has its main campus at University Park and 23 smaller campus locations statewide.

There are state-aided private institutions receiving designated grants from the legislature. The largest of these schools is the University of Pennsylvania, founded in 1740 by Benjamin Franklin as the Philadelphia Academy and Charitable School. Other private colleges and universities, also eligible to receive state aid, include Bryn Mawr College, Bucknell University, Carnegie Mellon University, Lafayette College, Lehigh University, and Villanova University.

33 Arts

Philadelphia was the cultural capital of the colonies and rivaled New York as a theatrical center during the 1800s. A number of regional and summer stock theaters are scattered throughout the state, the most noteworthy being in Bucks County, Lancaster, and Pittsburgh. The Bucks County Playhouse is recognized as the State Theater and carries a rich history of featuring well-known stars such as Grace Kelly, Robert Redford, and Walter Matthau.

Pennsylvania’s most significant contribution to the performing arts has come through music. One of America’s first important songwriters, Stephen Foster, grew up in Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Symphony, which began performing in 1896, first achieved prominence under Victor Herbert. Temporarily disbanded in 1910, the symphony was revived under Fritz Reiner in 1927. Even more illustrious has been the career of the Philadelphia Orchestra, founded in 1900. Among this orchestra’s best known permanent conductors have been Leopold Stokowski and Eugene Ormandy, both of whom recorded extensively.

An important dance company, the Pennsylvania Ballet, is based in Philadelphia, which also has the Curtis Institute of Music, founded in 1924. Pittsburgh also hosts a ballet company. The National Choreographic Center was established in the mid-1980s in Carlisle in conjunction with the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet School. Opera companies include the Pennsylvania Opera Theater, Pittsburgh Opera, and Opera
