Additional Details

A incomplete, partially published compendium of local Palisades history. Gilman apparently produced 3 or 4 identical copies of these scrapbooks, as well as 12 copies of the printed index. Present are Volume II and the index. Includes a long article titled "Some Trees near Palisades, N.Y." and numerous shorter pieces on local architecture, the town library, and more. The perfect gift for the lover of bibliographical complexity in your family.
