First published in 1844, this collaboration of American historians John Warner Barber (1798-1885) and Henry Howe (1816-1893) was Howe’s second book with Barber, the first being their “history and antiquities” of the state of New York. In the style of their other works, this is a first-rate gazetteer. Readers will benefit greatly from the township index at the beginning of the book. Information about the history, geography, industry, population, and more is organized by county; within each county are details on select townships, also in alphabetical order.

This book follows the direct ancestry of Leonard Harold Walker DeBernardi and Judith Elaine Ontko. These families made their way from Europe to the eastern coast of America and eventually to Minnesota and beyond.
