The women of the American
Revolution, by Elizabeth Fries Ellet, (1818-1877), Author of "The Characters
of Schiller," "Country Rambles," etc.,New York, Baker and Scribner, 1848-50,
3 Vols totaling abt 1000 Pages
Originally published as a two Volume
set in 1848. The success of the first two volumes demanded the extension
of the set to a third Volume in 1850. Containing short biographies of women
in the founding days of the U.S. The sympathies tend to be Victorian and the
women are primarily wives of their more famous husbands, but the writing is
clear, the women are mostly little known, and the details of their lives,
joys and sorrows are revealing. An important early work on women in the Revolution
which gives a seldom shown glimpse of an important time in the birth of the
U.S.

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.
Our CDs are designed to be easily
used even for those new
to computers. The opening
menu, which opens much like a web page (utilizing your browser and a link
like navigation system), is easily navigated and extremely user friendly.
