Anything published before 1919 (I think) in the US is in the public domain.
Project Gutenberg is busy doing exactly this to make those books available:

And yes, Confused, they use OCR, as CyberTaz mentioned. Your scanner may
have come with an OCR program, check Help or a forum for the scanner.
Search this group, someone posted a bunch of resource links for scanning
into Word at some point:
