A remarkable character Thorburn emigrated from Scotland to New York in 1794. He evolved from being a nailmaker to prominent seedsman. He was the inspiration for the protagonist "Lawrie Todd" in John Galt's triple-decker LAWRIE TODD OR THE SETTLERS IN THE WOODS 1830. He married his third wife in 1853. This work is vigorous counter-point to the travel books by Frances Trollope and Isaac Fidler from 1832. It is highly opinionated and provoked a short book response by William Carver A BONE TO GNAW FOR GRANT THORBURN. Note: with at least one pencilled gloss probably by the 1881 owner.
