The Wadsworths of the Genesee

315 pp. "...the story of the remarkable Wadsworth family of western New York State. Ever since they pioneered the Genesee Valley in 1790, they ahve preserved the great traditions of country life and sportsmanship on their almost feudal domains. ...Mr Hatch, with the full cooperation of the Wadsworth family, has examined the files of Hartford House, dating back to 1765, and tells the Wadsworth story in a fast-moving, glowing narrative. His book is full of anecdotes of picturesque characters, descriptions of pioneer life, battle scenes, and previously unpublished stories of political intrigue and personal integrity."
