Pioneer Moorhead Saga of White Town Ship and Indian Attacks
Fergus Moorhead and family set out from Franklin county to Indiana county in 1772 to found a frontier homestead. They faced nightly Indian raids, wild beasts, rugged trails, and harsh winters as they built a cabin, cleared land, and endured captivity ordeal after Moorhead was captured while escorting a companion along the Kittanning Path.
