On a bend of the West Branch Susquehanna, a single pioneer reshaped the Pennsylvania frontier. The past lives vividly here. In this classic pennsylvania local history book, John Franklin Meginness traces the great island settlement history and the life of William Dunn in a compelling blend of american frontier history and local pioneer biography. Centred on the dunnstown pennsylvania founding and the william dunn dunnstown history, he evokes the forests, river crossings, and emerging townships that defined the 18th century pennsylvania frontier, illuminating the earliest layers of lock haven area history and the wider west branch susquehanna valley.Written by one of the region’s most respected chroniclers, this volume stands as a trusted pennsylvania history reference and a cornerstone of clinton county pennsylvania history, meticulously preserving names, places, and connections that might otherwise be lost. A rich resource for genealogists and local historians, it offers vital context for family lines and landholdings while remaining accessible to general readers who simply enjoy vivid, place-based storytelling. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure.
