This one may be of particular interest to our many Pennsylvania members ...
Evolution Publishing is pleased to announce that the following new title from Wennawoods is now available from us:
Historical Map of Pennsylvania
With a History of Indian Treaties and Land Titles
Edited by P. W. Sheafer & Ron Wenning
The centerpiece of this beautifully produced hardcover book is a 38" x 25"
color reproduction of the extraordinarily detailed Historical Map of Pennsylvania, originally published in 1875. Suitable for framing, this map visually explains the step-by-step, treaty-by-treaty acquisition of Indian land by settlers in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Details on the map include the Indian names of streams and villages, sites of old forts and battlefields, the successive purchase from the Indians, the names and dates of counties and towns, and copies of Indian hieroglyphics taken from spots along the Allegheny and Susquehanna Rivers.
In addition, the book contains 144 pages of text which helps explain the treaty process. These include the History of Land Titles from the Annual Report of the Secretary of Pennsylvania Internal Affairs of 1894; an excerpt from the Indian Wars of Pennsylvania published in 1931; The Conference at Fort Pitt, April-May 1768 and details of the Purchase of Fort Stanwix Nov 5,
1768 originally published in the Pennsylvania Colonial Records Vol. IX of 1852; and Proceedings at a Treaty Held at Fort Stanwix In the Months of Oct.
& Nov. 1768 from the Documents Relative to the State of New York, Vol. VIII, originally published in 1857.
2005 ~ 144pp + map ~ hardcover ~ 1-889037-37-0 ~ $44.95
