Pioneer history of the Holland Purchase of western New York : embracing some account of the ancient remains, and a history of pioneer settlement under the auspices of the Holland Company ; including reminiscences of the War of 1812 ; the origin, progress and completion of the Erie Canal, etc., etc., etc. . neof the deepest indentations, or rumples. The location is pictur-esque in the extreme; and the scenery of the village and its neigh-borhood, would be a fine subject for the pencil of the artist. Aninterval of about half a mile in width, upon the Great Valleycreek, furnishes a beautiful village site; but it is hemmed in withhills whose altitudes would well entitle them to be called moun-tains. It is a village hid away in one of the deep gorges of thatregion; and yet a happy and contented population have found it,and are making it a pleasant abiding place; in the way of business,a brisk and large participator in the progress and improvement ofthe southern portion of the Holland Purchase. The sojourner there,who sees high elevations upon either hand, is astonished whentold that be is over fifteen hundred feet above tide-water; thoughhe feels that he is breathing pure air, and that he is in a bracingand healthy atmosphere. Cattaraugus county lies principally in the valley of the Allegany. COUNTT of ALLEGHANY
