Excerpt from Reminiscences and Early History of Old Peru We cared not - though they were but frail, We felt they were our own. The history of Peru and Ausable are inseparable. The town of Peru was formed from Plattsburgh and Willsborough December 28, 1792, and included the towns of Ausable and Black Brook. These two were taken off in 1839, since which time there have been no changes. The history of Clinton and Frank lin counties, published by J. W. Lewis Co., in 1880, says that one hundred years ago the town of Peru was an unbroken wilderness; which would mean one hundred and thirty-three years from the present time. While we do not believe in the wor ship of our ancestors, yet we ought to keep the memory green of those who endured the privations of pioneer life, who subdued the forests, built the roads, bridged the streams, built many of the houses in which we live, and trod the streets just as we do today, and made possible a better civilization for us than they enjoyed. The central part of Peru was included in Zephen iah Platt's Great Location of acres. It was bounded on the north by the present town of Schuy ler Falls, by Newcomb's and Bell's Patents; east by Newcomb's and Bell's Patents and Lake Champlain; south by the town of Ausable, and west by Wat son's and Thorp's Patents; the main street of Peru village being very near the dividing line of Platt's and Bell's Patents. How Platt obtained these large grants of land (in all 1 acres) does not appear. He was born in Suffolk county in 17 3 5 and died in 1807. The City of Plattsburgh was named in honor of him. He was not accomplished in the art ofchirography, as his signatures to original deeds testify. William and John Keese, of Dutchess Co., were employed by Platt as surveyors, and it is said for their services he gave them their choice of 500 acres of land. Their choice was a tract east of the Rogers Road, north of the south line of Peru. South of the farm of O. K. Smith, and west of the George Derby farm. In 1789 William Keese built a log cabin on the land now owned by Timothy Davern, and in 1790 himself and wife occupied said cabin. This was the beginning of the early settlement of the portion of Peru known as the Union. John Keese, the father, settled directly west of him. Three other sons of John Keese came and settled near him. Oliver on the William Severance farm, Stephen on the farm of the. Northern Orchard C0., and Richard on the farm now owned by his great grandson, R. Percy Keese. He owned most of the pine forest, and gave commandment in his will that none of it should be cut for the space of ten years after his death. Peter, a son, remained on the farm and built the stone mansion which is a monument to his enterprise and sagacity. His stalwart frame and dignified hearing was suggestive of a nobility of character such as men admire. He is remem bered by many as a breeder of choice stock. His herd of S'horthorns and those of Stephen K. Smith were a leading feature of the County Fair for many years. The Keese family were the most numerous of the early settlers. They belonged to the Society of Friends. The members of the society were notedfor industry, economy and frugality. There were no poor and no ne'er-to-do-wells among them. There were no ordained ministers and any one spoke as the Spirit prompted. Often silence reigned during the meeting, but some there were who were gifted in an eminent degree and could charm their hearers with sublime thoughts and purity of diction. Such an one was the wife of Samuel Keese. But schisms arose; the young people were restless and yearned for more liberty, and the meeting houses fell into decay. Their memory lingers and many regret their decline. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com

Bibliographies of local history are essential research tools for historians, genealogists, and book collectors. This volume is an attempt to bring together citations to all the books and pamphlets dealing with New York State history at the local or community level, which were published between 1900 and 1987; also included are some of the more important local history publications published prior to 1900, as well as a few works published as recently as 1989. It is not an attempt to compile a complete bibliography of the state which would undoubtedly require several large volumes, but rather, is directed more specifically to the needs of the local history and genealogy researcher. Material pertaining to the history of the major cities of the state has generally been excluded. Periodical articles and manuscript materials have also been excluded. About 2,500 publications are described in the listings which are arranged by county and town. This revised and enlarged edition updates the 1988 work with numerous additional citations, well-annotated for informative and entertaining reading, covering the following new subjects: Hudson Valley, Indians, maps, northern and western New York, reference books which include a substantial amount of New York material, Revolutionary War, Shakers and books with statewide coverage.
