Historic Map - Unadilla, NY - 1887
Description
Unadilla, N.Y. 1887. Drawn & published by L. R. Burleigh. Burleigh Litho. Establishment.
This reproduction bird's-eye view map of Unadilla, New York was published by Lucien R. Burleigh in 1887. Unadilla is a town in Otsego County on the north bank of the Susquehanna River. The town was destroyed during the American Revolutionary War but was able to rebuild. A beloved Unadilla war hero is the "Female Paul Revere" Sybil Ludington, who rode more than twice the distance as Paul Revere on April 26, 1777 to warn American colonial forces of the approaching enemy troops. Miss Ludington was thanked for her service by George Washington. In a memoir by Col. Henry Ludington he states of the incident:
"Sybil, who, a few days before, had passed her sixteenth birthday, and bade her to take a horse, ride for the men, and tell them to be at his house by daybreak. One who even now rides from Carmel to Cold Spring will find rugged and dangerous roads, with lonely stretches. Imagination only can picture what it was a century and a quarter ago, on a dark night, with reckless bands of "Cowboys" and "Skinners" abroad in the land. But the child performed her task, clinging to a man's saddle, and guiding her steed with only a hempen halter, as she rode through the night, bearing the news of the sack of Danbury. There is no extravagance in comparing her ride with that of Paul Revere and its midnight message. Nor was her errand less efficient that his. By daybreak, thanks to her daring, nearly the whole regiment was mustered before her father's house at Fredericksburgh, and an hour or two later was on the march for vengeance on the raiders."
This panoramic map from 1887 shows Unadilla's buildings, railroad route and clearly labeled streets.
