Quinlan’s History of Sullivan County is considered the definitive history of Sullivan County, New York up until 1873.
While we were working through those early years in Quinlan’s History, we discovered that it was sometimes hard to tie all those events together in a sequential way. To help us understand Sullivan County history better, we decided to use Quinlan to help develop a timeline of those years. Suddenly much was made clear.
We’re glad to be able to offer this timeline free for your use. Just click below to download it with our compliments.
Sullivan County Timeline to 1873
If you find that this timeline raises your curiosity and makes you want to read the whole book, there’s no reason not to do so. There are several free scanned versions of Quinlan you can download, but our favorite is one scanned by Penn State University. A link to a free version we like is on our main website on our Quinlan page, HERE.
After you download it, you might discover what we did: that a 700 page book really needs an index. No one can fault Quinlan for not providing one, given all that he did provide us with. But we did decide to do something to make up for his omission. We indexed Quinlan ourselves. While you are on our Quinlan page, you will probably notice that we sell our index. Frankly, it was a lot of work, and we think you will find that it is worth the price.
