Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of Wyoming Valley
A dissolute king brought disaster to honest people by giving the land on which we live to two classes of his subjects. Before any one secured a good title years of blood-shed had to pass. The fival claimants fought as onlv men will fight when they are fighting for property to which they have a legal right. Then the Indian, with the title that possession gives, spilt blood' freely and there is no apology due from him. England was not slow to maintain order in this part of her domain, and there is no apology due from her for doing so. Everybody was right and all of them were wrong. They fought it out and the Yankee conquered the entire combination. When the struggle was ended this valley was his and his heirs'. The state was obliged to give him a valid title to the land and no one has owned an acre of the soil without purchasing it from him.
