Summary
"In August 1846, abolitionist Gerrit Smith revealed his intent to parcel out 120,000 Adirondack acres to three thousand black New Yorkers to enable them to win the right to vote through property ownership. This book is the story of this so-called grant, the actuality of the lives of the new homesteaders in the North Country of the Adirondacks, and the legacy of their experiences"-- Provided by publisher.
