Summary
"The history of the earliest years of settlement at Wright's Ferry, and the subsequent founding of the town of Columbia, provides fascinating insights for understanding the evolution of other Pennsylvania backcountry communities during the colonial and early national periods. Located seventy miles west of Philadelphia, on the eastern shore of the Susquehanna River, Wright's Ferry was one among dozens of backcountiy communities that emerged during the second quarter of the eighteenth century. This narrative account will illuminate the complex political, ethnic, and social currents that emerged at Wright's Feny as William Penn's secretary, James Logan, moved to ensure the orderlysettlement of Pennsylvania's backcountiy."
