I was at the Tampa (Fl.) Antiquarian Books & Collectibles yesterday and the owner showed me this book on Onondaga County, printed in 1878: ... History of Onondaga County, New York. With illus. and biographical sketches of some of its prominent men and pioneers. By Prof. W.W. Clayton. Published in Syracuse, N.Y., D. Mason & Co., Printers Journal Office, 1878. 430 pp. of sketches and plates of portraits of citizens, their homes, map, etc.. front. plates (part fold) portraits, map. This is the history of Onondaga County from 1615-1878. While the binding is in poor condition and will need to be rebound, some pages are loose, the pages themselves appear to be in very good condition and the portraits and descriptions are wonderful. Some show the citizens with their house or farm pictured. Very nice maps. I have an 1894 Biographical Review of the Leading Citizens of Madison County (which I am slowly transcribing at: http://mysite.verizon.net/ingallsa/biotitl.htm but I must say this book is even better than that. If anyone is interested in this book, or may know of who might be, please pass on this information. The owner can be contacted directly at Tampa Antiquarian Books & Collectibles, 6306 North Armenia Ave., Tampa, Fl. 33604, (813) 871-3919. No e-mail there ... the owners are retiring soon and run a very crowded old fashioned bookstore. If anyone talks to them, but wants to see a photo of the book, I'll be glad to go back with my digital camera and send on some photos. It is truly a treasure. Anita Ingalls
