It was brought to my attention that I have been typing in the author of Frontier Forts of Pennsylvania as Thomas Lynch. He is actually Thomas Lynch Montgomery. However when I went back to look this up in the library, I found out he only edited the report. There are actually 5 books with 5 separate authors. I am presenting this to correct my past reports. Then I am including the preface to the book, to set the historical record straight.
