John D. Hicks (1890-1972) was a member of the history department at the University of California at Berkeley for thirty years. This book was written for college level students. He wrote several other books. His scholarship centered on the transition of the United States from the agricultural and small-town society still dominant in the Middle West of his youth, to the industrial and urban society increasingly dominant after the First World War.

Appendix B, "Additional names of persons or families migrating from the colonies to Upper Canada", is a table that lists family names and the areas which they migrated from. Many in the list are from Pennsylvania. This table also includes a field, "Other information", that holds important information associated with each family name.
Summary
"The role of the United Empire Loyalists has always been a fascinating part of the history of Canadian development. But in 'The Trail of the Black Walnut' the reader will find for the first time a complete and absorbing account of what happened to one group of these Loyalists --the thousands of men and women knowns as the Pennsylvania Dutch who toiled through a trackless wilderness in search of rich limestone soil and the black walnut. These were the people who were to lay the foundations of a great Canadian province today known as Ontario." [from the book jacket]

Summary
In the early winter of 1752, George Washington marched into the Ohio River Valley to deliver a message to the French who had begun to build forts down the valley in direct violation of the peace between France and England. On this journey, Washington met a cadre of interesting characters including the Half-King and Christopher Gist. What happened was a tale of survival and hardship that served as the first early steps towards war that would erupt in 1754.
