Book Description
British colonial relations with the native peoples of eastern North America This is an annotated edition of the treaties between the British colonies and Indian nations, originally printed and sold by Benjamin Franklin. Last published in 1938, Benjamin Franklin, Pennsylvania, and the First Nations makes these important treaties available once again, featuring a simpler, easier-to-read format, extensive explanatory notes, and maps. A detailed introduction by Susan Kalter puts the treaties in their proper historical and cultural context. This carefully researched edition shows these treaties to be complex intercultural documents, and provides significant insight into the British colonists’ relationship with native peoples of North America. They also reveal the complexity of Benjamin Franklin’s perceptions of Native Americans, showing him in some negotiations as a promoter of the Indian word against the colonial one. Finally, the treaties offer an enormous wealth of linguistic, aesthetic, and cultural information about the Iroquois, the Delawares, and their allies and neighbors.

Book Description
Venture forth into misty corners and shadowy corridors of haunted Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Feel the touch of old Wilford Binder's fingers as they glide up the nape of necks of unsuspecting theatre patrons at the Capitol Theatre in Chambersburg. Experience the hopelessness of a man shackled in a dungeon awaiting execution in Chambersburg's old jail. See the ghost of a small child walking through the third-floor lobby of a dormitory complex at Wilson College. Smell the ghostly presence of a wet hunting dog in the basement of the Farmer's Wife in Greencastle. Each location is presented from a historic and otherworldly perspective, revealing the legends, stories, and actual apparitions awaiting your visit to Franklin County.

Book Description
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR NPR • Time Magazine • The Washington Post • Entertainment Weekly • The Boston Globe A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK From one of our most accomplished and widely admired historians—a revelatory portrait of Benjamin Franklin's youngest sister, Jane, whose obscurity and poverty were matched only by her brother’s fame and wealth but who, like him, was a passionate reader, a gifted writer, and an astonishingly shrewd political commentator. Making use of an astonishing cache of little-studied material, including documents, objects, and portraits only just discovered, Jill Lepore brings Jane Franklin to life in a way that illuminates not only this one extraordinary woman but an entire world.
