Warren County

For women, it's even tougher to get that ID.

And I grew up in Pennsylvania, so I had to write to Erie County, Pennsylvania, to get my birth certificate, to Warren County, Pennsylvania, to get my marriage certificate, all of those things.

And all told, it probably cost me about $75 to get everything shipped back to Ohio so I could get that certificate.

And for a lot of people, $75 is a lot of money.

Um, the last bit of land that was left in Western Pennsylvania was a little tiny reservation along the Allegheny River, our river.

The river, the same river that we sit on, but a little bit further upstream in a place called Cornplanter in Warren County, Cornplanter's Grant.

Mm-hmm.

Well, guess what? George Washington signed that treaty.

And, you know, I mean, a- any old timers can tell you that the water downtown would reach, like, second and third floor of some of those buildings in downtown Pittsburgh.

That was not gonna do.

So they put together a flood control project that w- the centerpiece of that flood control project was a gigantic dam in Warren County called the Kinzua Dam.

And guess what that did? That flooded out the whole reservation in Warren County.
