"This land promotion tract was presumably written by Pierre Chassanis, one of the principles in the company, who in 1792 purchased from William Constable an option on a large tract in upper New York State ... The proposed French colony, known as Castorland, probably never numbered more than 30 families and ultimately failed."--Echeverria & Wilkie.
