abstract

{"value"=>"Collection consists of handwritten transcripts and negative photocopies of historical, biographical, and genealogical material. Papers gatherered by John E. Edmonds, William F. Ganong, and Victor H. Paltsis emphasize Southack's activities as a privateer and cartographer. Transcripts compiled for Frederick L. Gay largely relate to Southack's expeditions against the French settlements in Eastern Canada (1690-1705), with portions from his coast chart, New York to Cape Breton, concerning navigation, trade, and Indians"}
