This book narrates the story of Ithaca, New York, from its humble beginnings as a wilderness settlement in the late 18th century to its emergence as a thriving village in the mid-19th century. The author draws on firsthand accounts, letters, and historical documents to provide a vivid portrayal of the challenges and triumphs experienced by the early settlers. The book explores the motivations and backgrounds of the pioneers who ventured into the uncharted territory of upstate New York, as well as the role of the author's relative, Simeon DeWitt, in the founding and development of Ithaca.
