"This important historical study deals with the background of German immigration, especially that of the Palatines, the causes, migration patterns, the leading figures in the movement, and the disposition of the immigrants. Much of the book deals with the redemptioners, those who bound themselves to service as payment for the trip to America. It covers the types of bond servants and evaluates their role in the development of the German settlements, with accounts of their rise, progress, and place in American Society."

The Scotch-Irish of Colonial Pennsylvania  
"The best history of the Scotch-Irish of colonial Pennsylvania ever written, Dunaway's classic is indispensable to the genealogist because it outlines the circumstances behind the settlement of Lowland Scots in Ulster, their life in that Province for two or three generations, and the reasons for their emigration to America, further tracing the important migratory movements of the Scotch-Irish from Northern Ireland to Pennsylvania, and from Pennsylvania down the foothills of the Appalachians through the Great Valley of Virginia to the Carolinas and Georgia."

Early Lutheran Baptisms and Marriages in Southeast Pennsylvania
"One of the first clergymen to serve the early Pennsylvania-German settlers, John Casper Stoever maintained a ministry in southeastern Pennsylvania for a period of fifty years, during which time he kept a record of the baptisms and marriages he performed in his missionary travels. Stoever's journal, which was written in German, was translated and published in a limited edition, without an index, in 1896. Copies of the work have been eagerly sought after but have not been available for years, for which reason we are pleased to publish this reprint edition, adding to it the index so sadly lacking in the original."

Paddy OWEN's Regulars
During the American Civil War, the lads of the 69th Pennsylvania "Irish Volunteers" from Philadelphia fought in every battle with the Army of the Potomac. From 1861 to 1865 the regiment marched under its Irish Green battle flag in the midst of engagements from Glendale to Antietam to Gettysburg to Petersburg. They participated in the entire Peninsular campaign and at the battle of Glendale their bayonet charge to recover captured union artillery pieces was hailed as "the first successful bayonet charge of the war." They charged into the West Woods at Antietam and charged up Marye's Heights at Fredericksburg On July 3, 1863 at Gettysburg, the wall they defended was the target of Pickett's charge. That day they lost 50% of their men killed, wounded or captured along with their Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel and Major. In the Winter of 1864 the 69th became the only regiment in their Brigade to reenlist as a unit to fight the war to the end. At Spotsylvania, they attacked the "mule shoe" and captured a confederate battle flag. On to Cold Harbor and Petersburg they fought finally pursuing Lee's Army of Northern Virginia to surrender at Appomattox. Of the more than 1000 men who marched off to war in August 1861, only 56 remained on duty at Appomattox Courthouse. This book is about their history, their combat and their daily lives. It details the role they played in every battle and the personalities that constituted the regiment. Incorporating hundreds of personal letters with photographs and maps, the tale of the "Irish Volunteers" is examined on a day to day basis. From their roots as children of Irish immigrants during the Potato famine to their return home to Philadelphia in glory, the story of the 69th Pennsylvania "Irish Volunteers," Paddy Owen's regulars is the story of heroism and individual courage.

Uniquely Pennsylvania

Unique, Original Handwritten Manuscript Docket of H. H. SWETLAND, Justice of the Peace for Potter County, Pennsylvania. Records for 1903-1937

Original 1865 Civil War-Era Handwritten Farm Log Book by Noted Pennsylvania Poet-Historian Steuben JENKINS

Original, Antique Handwritten Manuscript General Store Day Account Books; Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania
From the seller: "Four individual general store day account books from Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania. The first was the account of Charles WALL at C L Kresky & Co, entered in a 4 x 6 1/2 inch soft cover booklet with a curious drawing of a cherub surrounded by the stock in trade with 17 pp of itemized purchases for 1889, apparently made during weekly trips to town, with 4 pp in the back of produce he presumably sold to them, mainly butter and eggs. Next is a 3 3/4 x 6 inch soft cover booklet, this one with entries for 1894 with pages towards the back filled with simple arithmetic, probably some rough accounting, plus several laid-in sheets. Next is a 3 3/4 x 6 1/2 inch full tan leather book with a folding flap and pocket, with more entries for 1889 (approximately 100 pp), but these are for various people, each identified by their name, plus 2 laid-in flysheets for the Union Coffee Co of New York, an 1889 invoice from Rice, Levy & Co, Scranton, PA, and 3 bills of lading from the Leigh Valley Railroad, in the name of Charles WALL, who may have then been the owner or an employee of the store. Last is a hardcover tan leather-bound, this one with approximately 100 pp of entries for various identified customers for 1900 and part of 1901. Good to very good overall, with the only major defects being some inactive silverfish nibble marks on 6 or 7 leaves of the third book. With occasional exceptions, all entries are legible. A fascinating glimpse into the domestic economy of a small Pennsylvania town, with the bulk of the purchases being for items that could not be produced on the farm or home, and a few conveniences and luxuries, such as shoes, matches, oil, spices and raisins at the period when more and more manufactured and goods from distant points were penetrating the heartland."
