The Chemung County chapter in Mather & Brockett's Geographical History of the State of New York (1848). At slightly under five pages in total, brief, but around average coverage for an upstate county in this early work. In addition to the five pages on Chemung County, we also include the section of this work on land grants and patents as background. Despite the brevity of their treatment of Chemung County, this is still an important part of the historical record. 5++ pages, in PDF format, download now for $2.00.
