From Oxcarts to Emails

Manuscripts recount two family's journeys from pre-Revolutionary days until they unite in the late 1800s. Ancestors describe a forty year old Revolutionary drummer boy, a politician dying of typhoid the day he's elected, early snafus in laying railroad tracks, and the life of a mail carrier in the 1850s. Enriching the text of the book are photographs of several of the ancestor/protagonists, their marriage certificates and photographs of the village the family settled which still stands as a restored village in the Delaware Water Gap.
