Grandfathers People |
This is a 15 page reminiscence of William
L. Osterhout written in 1953 when he was 90 years old. It is based
on the oral history of how his great-grandfather born in 1766 lived
in Knox. William's father moved to Berne. It is a very interesting
piece of oral history about the Anti-Rent War set to the written page
a century later. |
