If you like to read history of them thar days, complete with > Blood and Thunder, with interesting tales of our ancestors -- this is > excellent. The book doesn't confine its data of just Schoharie County. For anyone interested in the Schoharie book, there is an on-line version of the complete book at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyschoha/simms.html I've heard Simm's out-of-print book 'Frontiersman' is also good.
