{"product_id":"around-prattsburgh-9780738576923","title":"Around Prattsburgh","description":"Jared Pratt and his wife first settled in the Prattsburgh area in 1800. In 1802, Capt. Joel Pratt, Jared Pratt s uncle, and William Root, of Albany, purchased the township from the Pulteney estate. The town was officially formed on April 12, 1813, and named after Captain Pratt. During Prattsburgh s peak, it was a thriving place, boasting such businesses as the J.H. Frost Wagon Shop, Mrs. Clark s Millinery, Crossman s Blacksmith Shop, and Clary s Cooper Shop. The number of established schoolhouses and churches in town is proof of how very important education and religion were to the early settlers. Even today, Prattsburgh s rich agricultural history is still evident. Prattsburgh s success gave rise to Wheeler, a town of industries such as Renchan s Mills, a hotel, school, and general store. The remainder of the Sir William Pulteney estate became the town of Pulteney another thriving community in its day home to a rickshaw factory, a rattan basket factory, and many vineyards.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738576923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Lenora J.
