Drew, One of our former Genealogy club members here in Bradenton, FL. wrote several
publications, one of which is "The Mysteries of Time Lines" by Fran Carter
Walker. She is no longer in the area. One section is on immigration patterns within the
United States. Other sections deal with immigration into the US, Exploration,
Settlements, Wars the US was involved in, colonization and statehood.
Within these time lines we can place our ancestors as to what was happening and how they
might of done things. It is a paperback of less that 100 pages. Also included is a list
of her other publications to date, published in 1993. A large book, which I examined
while living in PA is Meginnes History of Lycoming County. I would imagine that if the
Venice library does not have these, probably the Sarasota Co library would have copies for
your use. Here in Bradenton the local library has, in their genealogical section, a large
selection on PA, which I would imagine would also be in the Sarasota library. PA was a
very important state in the early years of the forming of this country. Many immigrants
came thru Philadelphia and those who came thru New York or Boston harbors probably
traveled thru PA when going on their westward journey.

Subject: [PAGENWEB] Books on life in the U.S. from 1700-1850
I'm looking for recommendations on books that will tell me about life in the
U.S. and it's territories from 1700-1850. My primary interest is PA, but I
have a more global interest in population centers, immigration patterns, and
internal migration across the U.S. (and territories). I'm curious about the
routines of daily life during this period, and the nature and circumstances
of the people who populated the country. My hope is that I can get
recommendations on books that convey a factual picture, but are written for
the lay person rather than solely for the academician/historian (IOW, I want
to get a "sense" of life in those days, but not a ton of socio-economic
statistics).
Thanks.Drew Blackwell
