Ebenezer Foote, the Founder; Being an Epistolary Light on His Time as Shed by Letters From His Files offers an intimate and detailed perspective on the life of a pivotal figure in early American history. Through a carefully curated collection of personal and professional correspondence, this work illuminates the social, political, and economic landscape of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. As a prominent lawyer, soldier in the Continental Army, and influential politician in New York State, Ebenezer Foote's life provides a unique window into the formative years of the United States.

The letters contained within this volume serve as a vital primary source for understanding the challenges and triumphs of the post-Revolutionary era. Readers will find insights into local governance, the development of Delaware County, New York, and the broader national shift toward a burgeoning democracy. Edited by Katherine Adelia Foote, this epistolary biography captures the character of the man known as The Founder through his own words and the voices of his contemporaries. It is an essential resource for historians, researchers, and genealogists interested in the Early Republic and the foundational history of New York's southern tier.
