This is one wonderful website I just discovered and have to share.
(Sorry if I'm repeating what someone else has already passed on and I
just missed it.)

"Making of America" has scanned images of pages from 1,600 books and
50,000 journal articles from the 19th century. And they're searchable
too.
For instance, I plugged REIFSNYDER into the search and found 7 hits in
three books:
1.Brockett, L. P. Woman's work in the civil war: a record of heroism,
patriotism and
patience. By L.... 4 matches in 3 of 810 pages
2.Bryant, Henry Beadman, Bryant & Stratton's Counting house
book-keeping:
containing a complete...1 match in 1 of 376 pages
3.Whitehead, William. Directory of the borough of Chester, for the years
1859-60,
containing a concise...2 matches in 1 of 128 pages
You can then search within each work to get the page numbers and pull up
the actual scanned pages. I'm sure there's a wealth of historical
information here.
