Lot Description
[NEW YORK] -- [TRANSPORTATION]. To the Honorable The Legislature of the State of New York. The Memorial of the Subscribers, Inhabitants of the Western District of the Said State. [New York?]: N.p., 1812.
7 15/16 x 12 5/8 in. broadside; framed (not examined out of frame).
The broadside lambasts the Lock Navigation Company for not adhering to the terms laid out in two acts issued in 1792 and 1806 regarding their duty to ensure the Seneca Outlet is navigable. The author laments "the great expense of land transportation" and other difficulties caused by the subpar lock development.
Property from the James Milgram, M.D., Collection of Broadsides, Ephemeral Americana, and Historical Documents
