It would be a history in which not only the sufferings and deeds of its noble dead, but of its surviving members who fought at Chancellorsville, Beverly's Ford, Gettysburgh, and other battles would be truthfully recorded. 1995 (1877) Reprint, hard cover, 460 pages. $40.00 <<STEVENOT'S>> FAMILIES OF THE RAMAPOS with supplement THE DESCENDANTS OF BAILEY-TOWN by Marjorie Stevenot.
