Not worth the purchase

The map of PA that P.W. Sheafer produced in 1875 was an informative and ambitious work and I was hoping this companion book might go into some detail on the places shown on the map. I was hoping, possibly, on some source material he may have collected and referenced here so successive researchers might follow up. In particular, the Indian towns shown on the map, many of which are unfamiliar to me. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Of the 90 odd pages, only about 25 have writing on them. The rest are blank(?) A short introduction by the Secretary of the HSP, followed by the important chronological events in PA history, locations of the forts, blockhouses, etc. and the manors within the State. Most of the information contained can be worked out by simply perusing the map and I would not recommend buying this book.
