Second Saturday Lecture Series: Frontier Country:
The War between Pennsylvania and Maryland

Saturday, July 8

Dr. Patrick Spero, the Librarian and Director of the American
Philosophical Society Library in Philadelphia, will discuss the
little-known war between Maryland and Pennsylvania in the
1730s over the border between the two colonies and how this
conflict encouraged settlement in the area that is now York
County. This episode in American history, as highlighted in

Early Pennsylvania, proved formative not only for the history

years preceding the American Revolution.
