Additional Details

The town of Westchester originally formed the southernmost part of Westchester County. It was absorbed into New York City in 1895, and now forms a large portion of the Bronx. This pamphlet consists mostly of the text of the town's 1667 charter, followed by an 1813 act of the legislature which grants the town's trustees the right to operate a ferry across the East River to Flushing. It was printed for town president Samuel Berrian by order of the trustees. Not in OCLC, none traced at auction. Listed in Shaw & Shoemaker as 50093 with no institutional copies traced, based only on a reference in Hufeland's Westchester bibliography, page 254.
