     OUR LOCAL HERITAGE
     http://www.alle-kiskitoday.com/articles/archives/8
     
     Kiski  Valley Frontier: The Kiski Valley served  as  a  buffer
     zone  between settlers and Native Americans in the mid to late
     1700s. The Kiski River was a boundary between Indian territory
     (to  the north) and U.S. territory (to the south.) It made the
     Valley  the  westward and northward most edge of the  American
     frontier  in Pennsylvania for about 20 or so years. Read  more
