Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Oneonta Memories and Sundry Personal Recollections of the Author
The early settlers little thought they were forming the nucleus of a town which, within one hundred years, would maintain a population greater in extent than could be found at any other given point, within a section of the Empire State, extending from Kings ton, oh the east, to Cortland, on the west; from Amsterdam on the north, to Binghamton on the south.
Oneonta village is Situated upon ground more or less hilly and The Plains a few miles west thereof has often been looked upon as a more natural place for a large town. In a purely physical sense, applied locally, this may be correct, but in considering the respective merits of the two points, in their relation ship to the general topography of the country sur rounding, a person of good judgment, if expressing an opinion, would decidedly answer in the negative.
