Covers the period down to 1740 in considerable detail, identifies 138 settlers who were part of the first generation in the town, and provides biographical sketches of many of them. The text also mentions many later residents, including some who emigrated to other settlements. There are extensive extracts from original sources including tax lists for 1675 and 1683.
The book is presented as graphic images, so the user sees the work just as it was originally published. It is intended to look and function very much like a "real" book. There is no electronic index, and there is no electronic text to search. However, numerous electronic bookmarks have been added which make it easy to move through the book. Image numers will match the page numbers for all of the main text, as well as the index. Any unnumbered portraits and illustrations are at the back of the actual file, to keep page numbering consistent.
