Additional information
by Don Rittner (Author)
Between 1850 and 1859, Albany, New York printer Joel Munsell published ten volumes of The Annals of Albany. Each of these volumes were compendiums of historical information he collected on the history of Albany, New York and combined them, in no apparent order or category, into an annual publication for a decade. He collected scraps from newspapers, genealogy, deaths, religion, public and private organizations, maps, illustrations, and included already published pamphlets and other material connected with the history, ancient or modern, of Albany. This collection represents material he collected and published more than 170 years ago. This is the facsimile edition of Volume One with annotations and additions supplied by the editor.
