This history is divided into three parts. Part One covers the original Indian tribes; the formation of Tompkins County; the arrival of the first permanent settlers; the work of the pioneers; the county organization; the formation of the government and politics; roads, river traffic, canal projects and the railroad; the first newspaper; agriculture; the court; medical societies; the history of the town and village of Ithaca; histories of the towns of Ulysses, Dryden, Caroline, Danby, Newfield, Groton, Lansing and Enfield; plus a separate history of Cornell University and a section of biographies. Part Two is entirely biographical and Part Three contains family sketches. In order to provide easy access to information each part includes a separate index.
