Originally published in 1890. PREFACE: The early history of Immanuel Church, running back, as it does, into the seventeenth century, has been but little known, and it required much research, here and there, to gather the facts which make up this book. It has been my desire to write a true and entirely reliable history. Through publications made in recent years by the state of New York many data relating to the early history of New Castle have come to light....... This early works is a fascinating read and will appeal to any historian. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
