A propos de cet article

Includes letter SIGNED by author and some related paper. First edition, number 33 of a limited edition of 100. Original black cloth, 6 ¼ x 9 ¼ inches, references, viii + 128 pp, illustrated with two plates. Hardcover, good, no dustjacket.

Antirent War, (1839-46) , in U. S. History, civil unrest and rioting in upper New York state arising from the dissatisfaction of leaseholding farmers over the patroon system then prevailing on the great hereditary estates, originally established by the Dutch. In addition to rent, a farmer had to provide certain services to the landowner; the farmer's position was similar to that of a copyholder or villein under European feudalism. On the sale of the lease, a New York farmer had to pay the proprietor an alienation fine of from one-tenth to one-third of the sale price. While this system had long been considered unjust, no direct action was taken until 1839, when the heirs of Stephen Van Rensselaer tried to collect back rent from leaseholders in Albany County. The farmers rose in active opposition and refused to pay. Violence broke out and Gov. William H. Seward called out the militia. But acts of resistance spread, especially against rent and tax collectors, and Gov. Silas Wright declared martial law in August 1845. Thereafter, the disturbances lessened, and they finally ceased when a new state constitution in 1846 abolished the leasehold system of land tenure and instituted fee-simple ownership.

Description de la boutique

Nestled in a valley in the Endless Mountains, where the temperature can dip below freezing even in mid-June, sits Frost Pocket Farm. While our harvest of organic produce may be subject to the whims of nature, the crop of books is always a good one. The selection is as varied as the interests of its proprietor. A native of NYC, who dissipated his youth and more mature years in used bookstores and reading, as well as earning degrees in history, biology, banking and counseling plus studying 2 years at the University of Paris, he is constantly acquiring quaint and curious volumes, as well as the more mundane, on every imaginable subject. Low overhead means low prices geared towards the trade and the savvy retail client. To the extent possible, we use recycled packaging material (economy and ecology are both dervied from the same Greek root), and all books are shipped in corrugated cardboard. Every attempt is made to accurately describe the books, including their faults, and everything is completely guaranteed! (Sorry, we are strictly mail order, and due to insurance and other concerns cannot accomodate visitors.) On-line booksellers since 1996; ancient for this business!…
