Y."The design of this volume is to give an account of the most important and interesting events relating to the state of New York from its settlement to the present time with geographical descriptions illustrated by numerous engravings. In collecting the materials and preparing them for publication the compilers of this work have unitedly spent more than two years of close and laborious application. We have visited every part of the state and besides travelling thousands of miles on the public conveyances he have journeyed many hundreds on foot.The numerous engravings interspersed throughout this volume were with few exceptions copied from drawings taken on the spot by the compilers of the work. In these engravings our principal object was to give faithful representations rather that picturesque views or beautiful specimens of art." - Preface.John Warner Barber 1798-1883 b. East Windsor CT; D. New Haven CT. At death of his father when John was 14 years of age he became the principal financial supporter of his mother and five siblings. John began to write and illustrate his own religious and historical books and became a success. HIs Connecticut Historical Collections has been called "the first popular local history published in the United States" bibliola dot com.Henry Howe 1816-1893 b. New Haven CT; d. Columbus OH. His father - Hezekiah Howe - owned a bookstore and was the first publisher of Noah Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language 1828. Young Henry grew up amidst books and the printing trade contributing articles to the local press. In 1838 he was greatly impressed with John Warner Barber's book Historical Collections of Connecticut which Barber had compiled by traveling the state collecting material and making sketches. Howe determined to make similar books and compiled one on New York 1841 New Jersey 1842 and Virginia 1845. His three-volume Historical Collections of Ohio 1847 was immensely popular. He moved to Cincinnati in 1848 and continued his historical writing including The Great West and books of travel and biography. His Times of Rebellion in the West written just after the first American Civil War also sold well. An historical marker placed by the Franklin County Historical Society at Howe's home in Columbus reads "He preserved for posterity the story of the brave men and women who founded this great state." And so he also did with his other historical works. Published for the Authors, by S. Tuttle hardcover
