Fascinating, well done translations, Jun 20 2005
By Sam A. Mawn-Mahlau - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fort Orange Records: 1656-1678 (Hardcover)
This volume catalogs a wide range of documents from twenty-two years of Fort Orange's records. The documents are clearly translated with useful notes (including notes on the translation) and excellent indices. The records show deeds transferring property, documents relating to debts of people associated with the settlement, and official (often quasi-official) correspondence. The indices are very useful, and the editor makes a number of useful comments on possible name variations.
I would very highly recommend this as educational source material for students learning how to use primary material. Also good for people doing genealogical work.
