  • Some Notes on the State-Owned Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad*
    SOME NOTES ON THE STATE-OWNED COLUMBIA AND PHILADELPHIA RAILROAD* By HUBERTIS CUMMINGS r IGURATIVELY speaking, on the subject of the Columbia F and Philadelphia Railroad one could go riding off-as did the Leacockian hero-in all directions. If one could adopt and adhere to one line of travel for it, the journey might not be, according to twentieth-century ideals of railway convenience and luxury, very comfortable. The state-built and state-owned railroad between William Penn's great city on the Delaware and the river town on the Susquehanna long known as Wright's Ferry emerged from a dilemma, and it was its eventual destiny to be implicated in a fiasco. The course of its history was as multifarious as was its inception. In nothing is the tale of it simple. To cover the many- sided story in one brief paper, then, is impossible. For the connec- tions of the Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad with the policy of public improvements adopted by the Commonwealth of Penn- sylvania in 1826 are not only connections with the canal fever of that era in the Keystone State. They are connections with both the Erie Canal in New York State and with a whole epoch of American transportation history. Historians who trace the succession of events leading to the public system of transportation and travel which was owned by Pennsylvania between 1827 and 1857, usually tell much of Wil- liam Penn,' David Rittenhouse, Provost William Smith,2 financier and promoter Robert Morris,3 and Legislator William Lehman,4 as *Paper read at the meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical Association at Dickinson College, Carlisle, October 21, 1949.

  • History of Upland, PA
    Chronology of Upland, PA from 1681 through 1939 and A Chronology of the Chester Mills from 1681 through 1858. Land in the area of today’s Upland was entirely taken up in the 1600’s by Swedes, and laid out in “plantations”. Swedes and Finns had settled on the west bank of the Delaware River as early as 1650. The Swedes called this area “Upland”. Peter Stuyvesant, Dutch Governor of New Amsterdam (now New York), forced the Swedes to capitulate and named the area “Oplandt”. September, 1664 – English Colonel Nichols captured New Amsterdam, it became “his majesty’s town of New York”. The Swedes decided it was “Upland” again. Local Indians were of the Lenni Lenape tribe – The Turtle Clan. An old Indian trail ran from Darby along the general route of the present MacDade Blvd. into the Chester area, where it followed today’s 24th Street to the present Upland Avenue. Here it turned down the hill passing the current Kerlin Street, and on to the area that is now Front Street where it turned right, following close to Chester Creek across the land which later would become Caleb Pusey’s plantation, and then made a crossing to the higher land on the opposite side of the creek. Dr. Paul Wallace, the Indian expert, sites this Indian trail; “The Indians could here cross over on stones and keep their moccasins dry”. The Indian name for the Chester Creek was “Meechaoppenachklan”, which meant. Large potato stream, or the stream along which large potatoes grow. From 1681 . William Penn, being a man who learned from the experiences of others, was intent on providing a vital infrastructure for the settler/land owners in the new colony.

  • HIGH ALLEGHENY PLATEAU ECOREGIONAL PLAN: FIRST ITERATION Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean
    HIGH ALLEGHENY PLATEAU ECOREGIONAL PLAN: FIRST ITERATION Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean The High Allegheny Plan is a first iteration, a scientific assessment of the ecoregion. As part of the planning process, other aspects of the plan will be developed in future iterations, along with updates to the ecological assessment itself. These include fuller evaluations of threats to the ecoregion, constraints on conservation activities, and implementation strategies. CSS is now developing a standard template for ecoregional plans, which we have applied to the HAL first iteration draft report, distributed in 2002. Some of the HAL results have been edited or updated for this version. Click on the navigation pane to browse the report sections. What is the purpose of the report template? The purpose of creating a standard template for ecoregional plans in the Northeast is twofold: — to compile concise descriptions of methodologies developed and used for ecoregional assessment in the Northeast. These descriptions are meant to meet the needs of planning team members who need authoritative text to include in future plan documents, of science staff who need to respond to questions of methodology, and of program and state directors looking for material for general audience publications. — to create a modular resource whose pieces can be selected, incorporated in various formats, linked to in other documents, and updated easily. How does the template work? Methods are separated from results in this format, and the bulk of our work has gone into the standard methods sections. We have tried to make each methods section stand alone. Every section includes its own citation on the first page.

The RASA Program represents a systematic effort to study a number of the Nation's most important aquifer systems, which in aggregate underlie much of the country and which represent an important component of the Nation's total water supply . In general, the boundaries of these studies are identified by the hydrologic extent of each system and accordingly transcend the political subdivisions to which investigations have often arbitrarily been limited in the past . The broad objective for each study is to assemble geologic, hydrologic, and geochemical information, to analyze and develop an understanding of the system, and to develop predictive capabilities that will contribute to the effective management of the system .
