Excerpt from On the Frontier With Colonel Antes: Or the Struggle for Supremacy of the Red and White Races in Pennsylvania Where it has been impossible to illustrate by other than imaginary pictures, the most searching care has been given to the selection of the views as near the fact as is possible to obtain. Pictures opposite the numbers marked, except cases marked. Frontispiece, the author of the book, Edwin MacMinn. From a half-tone made by "Harper Bros.," of New York. Page 22. The Wissahickon, near Cleaver's Mill, formerly Dewees' Mill. Kindly loaned by Mr. William H.Richardson, who has so successfully photographed the scene. Page 25. Mt. St. Joseph Convent and Academy. Kindly loaned by the Mother Superior. The sides of the buildings presented are facing the spot occupied by the Antes-Dewees Mill. Page 41. Zeisberger Preaching to the Indians. This is a photographic reproduction of the famous painting of Prof. E. Schuessele, in the possession of the Moravian Church, at Bethlehem. The photography was by Julius Sachse, and the half-tone work is a masterpiece by Gatchell and Manning. It was to engrave this celebrated painting that John Sartain did his best work. Among the plates selected and prepared by the late John F. Meginnes to illustrate his books on the West Branch history, were several which have been generously placed at our service by Mrs. Meginnes. They are as follows; Page 82. Shikellimy. Page 338. A Stockade Fort to Protect Settlers from Indians. The Weapons of a Frontier Scout. These were the property of Robert Covenhoven. Page 316. Settler's Home in Muncy, in 1770. Maclay's House in Sunbury, 1773- Page 234. Caltrop. Page 236. Map of Indian Purchases. Page 328.
