A History of Deerpark in Orange County, N.Y., is a local history by Peter E. Gumaer (1771-1869), a longtime resident who recorded the early settlement, families, and events of the Deerpark region of the Hudson Valley. Written from memory and old records by a man whose life spanned nearly a century, it preserves the pioneer history of the area, including its frontier and Revolutionary years. Such town histories are prized by genealogists and local historians. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
