Sobre este artículo
[New Yor, 1849. [20]pp. plus frontispiece map. Contemporary half leather and paper boards. Minor shelf wear. Slightly tanned. Very good. Mid-19th-century reprint of an interesting and very scarce promotional 1804 edition for the Pulteney Estate in Western New York, issued by the promoters of the region, the English Associates. The first edition, which is quite rare, appeared in 1798, with a subsequent printing appearing in 1799. Howes records three printings in 1804, of which only one contained a map, which is reproduced here. These guide books were utilized by the prospective settlers, and often discarded after they arrived at their new homes. HOWES W493. REESE, FEDERAL HUNDRED 74 (ref)
