Yours Truly, C. P. Avery gives the Hon. C. P. Avery his deserved place on the shelves of local history. A highly respected and admired man he was honored for his wisdom and dedication by both his peers and the public. The preeminent historian and first elected judge of Tioga County, New York, he preserved Indian and Early Pioneer history in the Susquehanna River Valley. In a surprise move he left his home in New York for Michigan, where he remained for sixteen years before his life took a fatal turn that brought him home for his final days. This detailed biography includes photographs rarely seen in print such as a 1786 Indian Lease of Owego, and 1808 pencil sketch of Owego, and the full portrait of the Indian Maiden Sa-sa-na Loft and her family. |
