Some of this 775-page book, The Tenmile Country and Its Pioneer Families by Howard L. Leckey is available on Google Books. It deals with western Pennsylvania. In the past folks shared paper copies of some of the pages with me. I think that the back of the book index has hot links to the pages that are shared online. Apparently there is an eBook version available for purchase.

Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter: COSLA: eBook Feasibility Study for Public Libraries
Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter: COSLA: eBook Feasibility Study for Public Libraries:
"COSLA: eBook Feasibility Study for Public Libraries
Libraries everywhere are struggling as the world switches from printed books and magazines to e-publishing. Where do libraries fit into this brave new world?
Now a study by the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA) suggests that libraries can grow and thrive by focusing on eBooks. The study suggests that libraries need to anticipate this shift and become part of the eBook story."
[Note: If you are planning to do something with your genealogy research, and we all should be, this study will be of interest. How will you publish: 1) on paper, 2) on the Internet in a blog or on a website, 3) on a commercial genealogy site, 4) on CD-ROM or DVD, or 5) as an eBook. Where will your output ultimately reside? Will others be able to find it? Once found will they be able to access the publication? Richard E. Henthorn]
