Isnt that German?  The story I always heard about the Pennsylvania Dutch was that they were actually German, or Duitch, but since the people in Pennsylvania couldnt pronounce the word correctly, those Germans became known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.

I don't know a book off the top of my head other than general NYC history, so you could try these:\n\nGotham : A History of New York City to 1898 by Edwin G. Burrows and Mike Wallace\n\nThe Epic of New York City : A Narrative History by Edward Robb Ellis \n\nThere is this book, but I don't know it:\nThe Bronx (Columbia History of Urban Life) Evelyn Gonzalez\n\nBoth Columbia University and Lehman College might serve as good resources. Columbia has all sorts of info and documents pertaining to NYC. Go to the Columbia NYC Guide page and there are tons of resources there (link below). I don't know of any specific resources at Lehman, but call the library. The school is located in the Bronx and CUNY is a pretty good institution when it comes to New Yorkness. I'm sure they have some archive or the librarians are Bronx geniuses or something. I would give them a call. The homepage is listed below as well.

Try "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White. Dynamite book. It's a fictional account, but it's an excellent read. For non-fiction, try "Pendragon: The Definitive Account of the Origins of Arthur" by Blake and Lloyd. It's got a ton of Arthurian info.

Any search engine will work (Google, Yahoo, etc).  You might want to narrow down the topic a bit (ex. battles in NJ, Deborah Sampson, or Fort Ticonderoga).  PBS did a television series called Liberty! which was very good, and there is also info on their website (www.pbs.org).

Betsy Ross: Her Life\n\nClick for enlargement \nOne year before William Penn founded Philadelphia in 1681, Betsy Ross's great-grandfather, Andrew Griscom, a Quaker carpenter, had already emigrated from England to New Jersey.\nAndrew was successful at his trade. He was also of firm Quaker belief, and he was inspired to move to Philadelphia to become an early participant in Penn's "holy experiment." He purchased 495 acres of land in the Spring Garden section north of the city of Philadelphia (the section would later be incorporated as part of the city), and received a plot of land within the city proper.\n\nGriscom's son and grandson both became respected carpenters as well. Both have their names inscribed on a wall at Carpenters' Hall in Philadelphia, home of the oldest trade organization in the country.\n\nGriscom's grandson Samuel helped build the bell tower at the Pennsylvania State House (Independence Hall). He married Rebecca James who was a member of a prominent Quaker merchant family. It was not unusual for people in those days to have many children, so it is only somewhat surprising to learn that they had 17!\n\nElizabeth Griscom — also called Betsy, their eighth child and a fourth-generation American, was born on January 1, 1752.\n\nBetsy went to a Friends (Quaker) public school. For eight hours a day she was taught reading, writing, and received instruction in a trade — probably sewing. After completing her schooling, Betsy's father apprenticed her to a local upholsterer. Today we think of upholsterers primarily as sofa-makers and such, but in colonial times they performed all manner of sewing jobs, including flag-making. It was at her job that Betsy fell in love with another apprentice, John Ross, who was the son of an Episcopal assistant rector at Christ Church.\n\nQuakers frowned on inter-denominational marriages. The penalty for such unions was severe — the guilty party being "read out" of the Quaker meeting house. Getting "read out" meant being cut off emotionally and economically from both family and meeting house. One's entire history and community would be instantly dissolved. On a November night in 1773, 21-year-old Betsy eloped with John Ross. They ferried across the Delaware River to Hugg's Tavern and were married in New Jersey. Her wedding caused an irrevocable split from her family. [It is an interesting parallel to note that on their wedding certificate is the name of New Jersey's Governor, William Franklin, Benjamin Franklin's son. Three years later William would have an irrevocable split with his father because he was a Loyalist against the cause of the Revolution.]\n\nLess than two years after their nuptials, the couple started their own upholstery business. Their decision was a bold one as competition was tough and they could not count on Betsy's Quaker circle for business. As she was "read out" of the Quaker community, on Sundays one could now find Betsy at Christ Church sitting in pew 12 with her husband. Some Sundays would find George Washington, America's new commander in chief, sitting in an adjacent pew.\n\n\nWar Comes to Philadelphia\nIn January 1776, a disaffected British agitator living in Philadelphia for only a short while published a pamphlet that would have a profound impact on the Colonials. Tom Paine ("These are the times that try men's souls") wrote Common Sense which would swell rebellious hearts and sell 120,000 copies in three months; 500,000 copies before war's end.\nHowever, the city was fractured in its loyalties. Many still felt themselves citizens of Britain. Others were ardent revolutionaries heeding a call to arms.\n\nBetsy and John Ross keenly felt the impact of the war. Fabrics needed for business were becoming hard to come by. Business was slow. John joined the Pennsylvania militia. While guarding an ammunition cache in mid-January 1776, John Ross was mortally w
