New York History Review upcoming books

Even though we've been quiet lately - we are working very hard behind the scenes on three new books coming out soon. One is Plank Road Explorer, the diary of Henry Marvin of Webbs Mills, New York in 1873.  


Henry was 18 years old and he had to figure things out for himself.


He was born into a family with great ambitions and aspirations. His grandfather was an important character in the Revolutionary War, and his father owned much land in Webbs Mills, New York. His grand-nephew was Ross Marvin, who died at the North Pole while with the Peary Expedition. His great-grand-nephew was Hollywood actor Lee Marvin.
