another historian, charles hannah, presents a photo of the field from 1909, labeling it as the field where fort shirley stood (hannah 1911, 253). the huntingdon borough sesquicentennial publication (1938), repeated lytle's 1875 description of fort while samuel mcvitty recounts of local elders talking about the fort's size and recalls collecting military and indian artifacts in the field as a child thus reinforcing an oral account of the fort's location.
