The pioneers of Unadilla village, 1784-1840

The volume chronicles early exploration and settlement of the upper Susquehanna valley and the village's founding from the seventeenth century through 1840. It traces village founders, land selection, merchants, mills, roads, churches, schools, bridges and civic institutions during early nineteenth-century growth. The author profiles families and local leaders, records town meetings and property layouts, and describes houses, businesses and burial grounds. Illustrations, a map and documentary extracts support the narrative, and a concluding section presents a physician's reminiscences of village life and of travels to Panama and California in the 1840s.
