The Peacock Papers - Bringing the Holland Land Company records home - $14.95
In 1816 Joseph Ellicott sent his best surveyor to survey a route for the Erie Canal across Western New York State (see "Ellicott's Southern Route"). William Peacock's survey was rejected and his route was not used; but the surveyor's life would eventually have an impact on events that no one could imagine in the early nineteenth century. The "Peacock Papers" includes interviews with Ms. Franciska Safran, now retired from SUNY Fredonia; Wendy Straight, a licensed land surveyor from Dunkirk, NY; Susan Conklin, Genesee County Historian; Patrick Weissand, director Holland Land Office Museum, Batavia, NY; and Jack Ericcson, retired director of special collections, SUNY Fredonia. Produced by Stephen Drew; Kimberly Drew, videography. Copyright 2008-2010 Low Bridge Productions, 2171 Monroe Ave, Rochester, NY 14618 - Run time: 30 minutes. Suitable for all ages.
