Sheila -- The DOCKSTADER FAMILY books (four volumens) prob. can't be shipped, so the ploy is to ask the Interlibrary Loan Service from your local library for extracts, identifying the persons you are looking for. The Nellis/Nelles book just published last summer -or fall - is a dandy, and may be a bit scarce. The Compendium by Penrose prob. can be obtained that way (a loan of the book). Don't forget to look at Nelson Green's HISTORY OF THE MOHAWK VALLEY-- GATEWAY TO THE WEST. It is a rill dandy for history. It is a multi volume publication (I think four), and did splendid things for we poor compilers at the end of (our rope) 20th Century. Nelson Green's book will keep you enthralled. For rilly ancient stuff, don't forget Jephtha R. Simms, History of Schoharie County..." 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. If your husband likes to read about the Revolution, best you use the books first because it is pretty interesting. This comes in two volumes, and obtainable from Heritage for about $40, but probably available via the Interlibrary Loan Service. Ladies Lib is hinted at in the book tellling about an Indian raid when the wife used an axe to repel guns thrust into their home's sally-ports. These are ladies few ever dreamed were our grandmothers. They had no TV, but things were pretty lively then, too. I think the Interlibrary Loan Service is better than an LDS tape, but even that way is pretty nice to have available. The Interlibrary Loan Service is usually a bit slow, but their service is nothing to sneeze at. randy -----Original Message----- From: Sheila Kenny <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, March 23, 1999 9:02 PM Subject: Re: [NYHERKIM-L] Barker CD- AVERY?? >Thank you for writing Randy. >Do you know where the books you mentioned might be available?
