This
19th-century work, written in the flowery language of the time, gives a
detailed picture of early Delaware County. Beginning with descriptions
of the native Indian tribes, the book also discusses English, Dutch and
German Palatine settlement. Much attention is focused on the activities
that took place during the Revolutionary War, including Sullivan’s expedition
against the Indians, and numerous tales of Indian captivities and outrages
on the frontier settlements. There is also a biography of the famed rifleman,
Timothy Murphy. As the population of the state increased, the need for
further civil divisions resulted in the creation of Delaware County. Land
grants and a manorial system of titles led to serious “rent difficulties”
among tenants. Other features of this work include obituaries of well-known
persons, lists of state legislators and judges, and an appendix which gives
the history of local newspapers and organizations

About Our CDs
Many of our CDs are composed of collections of
multiple texts and documents concentrating on specific regions or subject
areas. Many contain 5, 10 or more separate publications. Each CD is
truly a reference BONANZA to the home historian with thousands of pages of
research information. The age of most of these text make them
inaccessible to the average researcher. Naturally their scarcity and
fragility makes them very expensive to acquire hence often kept under lock
and key in an effort to preserve them. Unfortunately this also makes them
unavailable for public view. Our CDs are produced by scanning the actual pages
of the original text making them not only excellent resources but archival
copies available for future generations. If you could find a hard copy of any of
these books it would cost hundreds of dollars - individually worth many times the cost of a
CD. The average cost of a single
CD, containing our "theme or regional" based collections has been kept
affordable in an effort to make this information obtainable to as many home
researchers as possible.
Our CDs have become the
ultimate research tool. Having a copy on hand allows research at your leisure
and your schedule while in the comfort of your home. Additionally you can still
print individual or groups of pages as you need directly from your CDs.
Giving you the best of both old and new research techniques. Unless
otherwise noted most pdf Files are now searchable. Searchable pdf
files allow single or multiple file searches with one
search request.

used even for those new to
