From the Foreword: "The region historically known as the Genesee Country is, broadly interpreted, co-extensive with Western New York, whose eastern boundaries may be fairly, if somewhat arbitrarily, drawn at Seneca Lake, and whose northern, western and southern borders are the outlines of the State...It is an empire within itself, including fifteen counties; two hundred and eighty-one towns; one hundred and thirty-four incorporated villages, and fourteen cities, of which Buffalo and Rochester are the largest of the State outside of the Metropolitan district. The annals of the Genesee Country are of surpassing interest and importance. Rich in legend; a narrative of constant and exciting activity in the period of aboriginal occupation; of eventful years of pioneer life while hardy, courageous and forceful men were helping to build a nation, and a story of accomplishment down to the present day that has given to this country an extraordinary distinction."
Condition / Notes: These antique volumes show well with some typical indications of age and wear, including shelfwear and rubbing, particularly to the spines. The bindings and text blocks are sound. Text and illustrations are clear and crisp through mild uniform age toning. Volume one has writing by a previous owner on the front free endpaper, and there is a small portion of moisture marking to the lower edge of the text block.
