early economy

This file is taken from a page in the digital History Atlas of Saugerties. The Atlas is in draft and is currently finished for all periods covered by the earliest history publications, up to the early 19th Century. The illustrative map is a line relief drawing of the area of the colonial Kingston Patent and the box text to its left and right describes the competitive agrarian and river transport economies in the first quarter of the nineteenth century before the Erie and Delaware and Hudson canals and the industrialization of Saugerties.

This "weblet" introduces this work within a broader series of web products that distribute a portfolio of publications I'm creating to interprete the history of Saugerties.

This is a web production of Michael Sullivan Smith. It's distributed free of commercial or government platforms from the Cloud.
