Along the Sullivan Trail : the story of Sullivan's Indian expedition of 1779 that opened northern Pennsylvania and the Finger Lakes and Genesee region of New York for settlement
"The 1779 Sullivan Expedition, also known as the Sullivan-Clinton Expedition, or Sullivan Campaign was an extended systematic military campaign during the American Revolutionary War against Loyalists ('Tories') and the four Nations of the Haudenosaunee which had sided with the British. It has been described by some historians as a genocide due to the magnitude and totality of its violence towards and destruction of the Haudenosaunee." [Wikipedia]
"This lovingly written book, accompanied by more than 75 of the author's own sketches, provides a reliable record of those vanishing forms of architecture. Accurate line drawings depict a variety of barns, such as those in Maine, attached to houses; an 'open' log barn in Virginia, and a 'top hat' barn in North Carolina. Covered bridges - like barns, built for soundness and endurance - are also illustrated, among them a saltbox structure in New England, a bridge with a pedestrian walkway in rural New York State, and a 10-span-long bridge at Clark's Ferry, Pennsylvania."
