Historical Sketches of Western New York is a book written by Elisha Woodward Vanderhoof in 1907. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of Western New York, with a particular focus on the Seneca Indians, the Phelps and Gorham Purchase, the Morrie Reserve, and the Holland Purchase. The book begins by discussing the Seneca Indians, who were the original inhabitants of the region. Vanderhoof provides a detailed account of their culture, religion, and way of life, as well as their interactions with European settlers. He then moves on to discuss the Phelps and Gorham Purchase, which was a massive land acquisition made by two businessmen in the late 18th century. Vanderhoof explores the political and economic factors that led to the purchase, as well as its impact on the region.The book also covers the Morrie Reserve, which was a tract of land set aside for the Seneca Indians by the United States government in the early 19th century. Vanderhoof describes the negotiations that led to the creation of the reserve, as well as the challenges faced by the Seneca people as they attempted to adapt to their new way of life.Finally, the book discusses the Holland Purchase, which was another significant land acquisition made by the Holland Land Company in the early 19th century. Vanderhoof provides a detailed account of the company's operations, as well as the impact of the purchase on the region's economy and society.Overall, Historical Sketches of Western New York is an informative and engaging book that provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of the region. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of New York State or the United States more broadly.Mary Jemison, Jemima Wilkinson, Joseph Smith, Jr., And Mormonism, Morgan And Antimasonry, The Fox Sisters And Rochester Knockings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
