A catalog of Polish-American memorabilia by Larry Chesky, sold under his mail-order catalog, "Modern Mail International". This would be estimated to be about 1977 based on the record sleeve it was found in, though it may have been anytime after 1974. Chesky would continue to operate the business even after closing Rex Records into the 1990s.

A rather dated history of the Lenape peoples of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I received this booklet when I was in Mr. Linwood ("Woody") Martin's third grade class at Willow Dale Elementary of Warminster, PA in 1999. It was given as a primer for the history of the local Native American tribe the Lenape, with the curriculum unit ending with a visit to (I believe) Churchville Nature Center's Lenape village replica in Churchville, PA. Criticisms of the book- it was written in 1981, it...

Originally written by Ernest A. Bragg, a member of the eponymous Bragg family and descendant of Arial Bragg, this account is written anecdotally and in a non-linear order. I have done my best to transcribe and preserve the text here exactly as it appeared in the Holliston...
