Woodhull, 1744-1824, was a distinguished minister of the gospel who also contributed to the work of establishing the new PCUSA constitution. The rare first edition of this promotional pamphlet for the Pulteney Estate in western New York, issued by the promoters of the region, the English Associates. Written in the form of five letters, it describes the history of the area and its potential for development. The folding frontispiece depicts Fort Oswego on the shore of Lake Ontario, and the two maps show Ontario and Steuben counties, and the location of the Genesee lands in relation to the Atlantic coast. A subsequent printing appeared in 1799, and Howes records three more printings in 1804. These guide books were utilized by prospective settlers and were often discarded after they arrived at their new homes.
