There are over 200 Forts and Blockhouses listed in the index of these 2 books. Many of the the maps are just one or two page maps but there are 4 fold-out maps in these books. One is the Plan for Fort Ligonier, a map of Hannastown, a Historical map of Southwestern Pennsylvania, and a plan of Fort Bedford. Volume 1 contains 627 pages and Volume 2 also contains 627 pages not including the index to both volumes. Each book measures 6 1/4 inches by 9 1/2 inches and is 1 1/2 inches thick. Both volumes do show some minor wear. The covers have some wear on the corners and back binding, but are both complete covers and still attached to the books. The fold-out maps in both books still are attached and are not ripped. Volume 1 does have a few pages in the middle of the book that have seperated from the books binding. Other than that the pages are all in good shape. A very nice two volume set of books about the history of Frontier Pennsylvania and its Forts. The books are loaded very interesting facts and pictures, well too many to list all. If you have any questions please write and I will answer as best as I can.
