    1. [PAMCKEESPORT] More on Braddock Spring
    2. Paul Popowitz
    3. Hello Barb and all, To follow up on your question, I looked at a topographic map on "topozone.com" and it looks like a Crooked Run or a branch of it runs through the Camp St./ballfield area you describe. Maybe Braddock's spring is the source of it. It's a little surprising there are few prominent historic markers noting Braddock's camp. There is a small stone with a plaque at ankle level on Lincoln way near a White Oak Borough garage. Another plaque on the Duquense bridge marks Braddock's river crossing. Most drivers are too preoccupied to notice these. I've read that an old oak tree stands near Franklin St. and supposedly was living when the army marched past in 1755. Thank you, George, for posting my comments on your site. God bless, Paul
