{"value"=>"<p>Autograph manuscript biographical index compiled by Yates, encompassing a broad range of people figuring in the settlement of eastern North America. The focus is on colonial New York and New England, from the early-17th to the mid-18th centuries. Biographical subjects span A (Alricks) to W (Wynne), including explorers, soldiers, colonial governors and officials, Dutch West India Company administrators, and others. Personages closer to Yates in time and place include members of the Morris and Schuyler families.</p> <p>The text for each biographical subject, running from one to several pages, consists of brief summaries of their participation in historical events and authors' characterizations of the person, taken from published works and local government records. The source citation appears to the left of each listed item. Sources in this volume, as in his chronological index, compare to those cited in his Albany histories. Alphabetical guide letters, written by Yates, are found on each page.</p>"}
