Harford - Will the gentleman who spoke concerning the apples on the three Indian Apple trees at Great Bend, at the session of January 10th, Historical Society meeting in Montrose, please send W.L. Thacher a more particular description of them, and the exact location of the three trees. [Note: General Clinton, on his way to meet General Sullivan in 1779, encamped on the banks of the Susquehanna at Great Bend. "They landed to pass the night, and to allow some of the dilatory rafts to come up, and here at Great Bend, on the Flats near the "Three Indian Apple Trees," General James Clinton's army encamped, and here for one night, at least, brightly burned the camp fires of 1600 of the soldiers of the Revolution. The officer in his diary says of the three Indian Apple Trees, which they found here, that they then bore the marks of great age. There were no Indians seen here by them, although there was every indication of their having only recently left. The next day they went on board of their rafts and proceeded down the river." Blackman’s History of Susquehanna County, pg. 51-52.
