HISTORY OF THE WEST thAscH VII.


A rew weeks since Mr. j. +. Meqinreast
of this place. .apppunsed that he VAS abous
to prepare a history Of Lycoming county, and
solicited the cooperation OF all persons w
possession Of facts in reference to the early
Settlers. Since the announcement. he. .has
yielded to the urgent solici,atiOi;s'ot 'ot nnmers
GUS persons here and elsewhere, TO prepare
Il history Of the settlement OF the west
Branch Valley. We now learn that it is his
intention to prepare a work of this character.
embracing all the thrilling and bloody scenea
that have occurred in this valley. making the
old Indian town of Shamokin (where Sudbury
now Gtands.) the basis Of the work.
There is II vast amount OF material to make
work Of unusual interest, and We believe 1t
is his intention to leave nothing untone to-
wards making the work AS full and accurate
as it possibly can be made. Sunbnry is an
important point from which all the settlers o.
this Valley first departed, and the many
| thrilling associations connected WITH the ear
ly history, would make avolume within them
selves.
This IS indeed lovely valley. Few of the
present generation are aware that it contains
dark and bloody ground" and that the ruth
less savage committed deeds Of ntrucity cal-
culated to impress the mind with horror. y
The history of this valley has never bef1
written, and if justice be done to it, ut will
make a work Of intense interest, and one that
should be secured by every settler. Ne be-
| leve that the auihoH will do it full Justice.
lie is also anxious TO aecure the assistance OF
The press, and persons in possession OF facts
incident to the early pioneers.
A minute sketch of the valley os it is at
the present day will also be given, embracing
its agricultural and mineral resources, pub
lie and private improvements. schools ana ln'
s,i,utions Of learning. aud everything e sc
calculated. 10 enhance the value Of the work.
Short biographies anecdotes OF many Of
the leading settlers will hc given. and the au
thor will be pleased to receive all ihe .ii1tle
Incidents preserved by their descendants
which have not been in print.
