Excerpt from Joseph Ellicott and Stories of the Holland PurchaseThe materials for this sketch of Joseph Ellicott's life and the mosaic picture of early days on the Holland Purchase have been gathered from many sources.The work was undertaken for several reasons: First, because there is no adequate biography of the grand central figures of early times on the Holland Purchase, second, because our early histories are out of print and not easy to find, third, because the history of few parts of our great country is so well worth knowing and so little known by its own people. No region has more charm and romantic appeal than Western New York.Bibliography The chief obligations for materials used in this brief sketch are to Charles W. Evans' Family History, Fox, Ellicott, Evans and Others, Martha E. Tyson's Settlement of Ellicott's Mills, Catherine Van Court landt Mathews' Andrew Ellicott, His Life and Letters, Paul D.
