Boxes 1 and 2 contain about 250 letters, dating from 1780 to 1910, with a concentration of letters between 1800 and 1830. The correspondence is mainly to and from Nathaniel Rochester, with some other family members represented. The papers contain a few letters from well-known national figures, including Henry Clay, James Madison, Albert Gallatin, and Alexander Hamilton. Other important correspondents include Charles Carroll and William Fitzhugh, Rochester's partners in the 1803 Western New York land purchase. There are also retained copies of Rochester's own letters, written in his own hand along with correspondence from several of his sons, including William B. Rochester, who served as a Congressman. Also included are 17 letters Nathaniel Thrift Rochester wrote to his mother and sisters during a tour of Europe in 1832. Letters dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries are to and from descendants of Rochester. Box 3 contains financial and legal material such as bills, receipts, deeds, agreements, etc. The material is concentrated between 1780 and 1830 with some material extending into the 1850s. The earlier material documents Rochester's business dealings before he came to Western New York, including the sale of slaves. Box 4 contains other material, including a few 19th-century broadsides, speeches, and newspaper clippings. Boxes 5-8 (including box 6a, containing a photograph album) include a journal of Nathaniel Rochester's slave transactions (1790-94), and what appears to be an account of a trip to the Genesee region in 1800.

These boxes also contain additional material about Montgomery Rochester, the grandson of Nathaniel Rochester. Mongomery Rochester died in 1909.

The Artificial River
Author: Carol SheriffPublisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 9780809016051
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
The story of the Eric Canal is the story of industrial and economic progress between the War of 1812 and the Civil War. The Artificial River reveals the human dimension of the story of the Erie Canal. Carol Sheriff's extensive, innovative archival research shows the varied responses of ordinary people-farmers, businessmen, government officials, tourists, workers-to this major environmental, social, and cultural transformation in the early life of the Republic. Winner of Best Manuscript Award from the New York State Historical Association "The Artificial River is deeply researched, its arguments are both subtle and clear, and it is written with grace and an engagingly light touch. The book merits a wide readership." --Paul Johnson, The Journal of American History
