in Pennsylvania from June 4 to September 16, 1812, together
with a history of Salem, North Carolina, 1766-1816, to which
settlement Br. von Schweinitz had been assigned as pastor and
as administrator.
Part II, which is the greater part of the book, consists of
Memorabilia, Diaries, and Minute Books from 18o09 to '1822.
These mirror the daily activities, ideas, and ideals of this small
Salem settlement of 281 persons.
The Buffalo Historical Society of Buffalo, New York, has put
out a new book, Niagara Frontier Miscellany, edited by Robert
W. Bingham, Director of the Society.
The volume consists of eleven disconnected articles dealing
with a variety of subjects and written by a number of writers.
Unity is achieved in that all deal with Buffalo or the Niagara
area. As an example, the first article is an eyewitness' story of
the assassination of President McKinley.
It is hoped that the series will stimulate historical interest and
civic pride. There are a number of excellent illustrations, an
appendix, and an index.
