The Frontier Patriots Chapter is pleased to announce that the stone monument honoring the Patriots who participated in the Engagement of Frankstown has been completed and was dedicated on Saturday, 10 June 2021. The monument is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Route 764 and Theater Drive, about two miles north of Duncansville. A bronze plaque describes the incident in which forty-four Bedford County Militia and volunteers were ambushed by a party of nearly eighty Seneca warriors led by British Lieutenant Robert Nelles and a platoon of British soldiers. The names of the known participants are included on the plaque. There is parking space available beside the monument, so please visit it if you can.

The book, Mother Bedford And The American Revolutionary War might still be available for purchase from Closson Press. This history of Bedford County during the American Revolutionary War is the definitive history of the subject. Much of the information contained on the website www.motherbedford.com was derived from the book. But the book contains so much more that could not be fit on the website. Every document to be found in the public archives pertaining to Bedford County during the American Revolutionary War period is transcribed in the book. Ordering information is available at the Closson Press website. During a week period coinciding with the 200th Anniversary of the death of George Washington, the Mother Bedford home page bore a banner graphic in memory of our nation's first Commander In Chief. The essays that were prepared for the Chapter newsletter during 1999 were created as web pages on the Mother Bedford website. If you would like to view them, simply click on the following link:
The various essays produced for the Frontier Patriots Chapter's Newsletter under the title of A Chronology Of The American Revolutionary War have been reproduced on the Mother Bedford website. I will be uploading new essays as they are produced. If you want to view the Chronology, simply click on the following link:
