{"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\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-6352762\"\u003eLenora J.
