Listed below are digitized books that describe NSDAR's early history as well as early DAR magazines.

Published in 1906 just 16 years after the founding of NSDAR by Mary S. Lockwood (a founding member), this book presents a very interesting eyewitness account of the early days of our organization.

This 1912 book presents biographies of many Real Daughters.  "Real Daughters" were DAR members who really were daughters of Revolutionary War patriots.  They are designated with the letters REAL/D in the online DAR Patriot Index.

This is a 1903 account of the DAR ritual.
