Synopsis

This book chronicles the chronicle of Minisink, a frontier region in what is now Orange County, New York. The text begins by describing the area's original inhabitants, the Minqua Native Americans, and traces the region's transition from Native American territory to Dutch rule in the 17th century. It then moves into Minisink's era as an outpost in colonial New York and explores the area's pivotal role during the Revolutionary War, including the infamous Minisink massacre by British-allied Native Americans in 1779. In documenting the region's early churches, the author presents a vivid snapshot of life in this rugged, deeply religious, and largely self-sufficient community. The book concludes by exploring the region's remarkable growth from frontier outpost to rural hub and its incorporation into the American story of westward expansion, which would forever change its social and economic landscape.
