JOHN BRowS's TRAcr.-Many of those
who are familiar with the extensive tract of
wild country in Northern New York, known
as John Browns Tract, have the name er-
roneously associated with the leader in the
Virginiainsurrection, who once resided and
who was buried there. But it came from
an entirely different source. In the year
1896, John Brown, q rich merchant of
Providence, Rhode Island, purchased at
mortgage sale a tract of land containing
100000 acres, divided into eight townships,
and extending across Herkimer county, and
into Hamilton on the east, and Lewis on
west. The mortgage was held by Philip
Livingston, and, amongst others Aaron
Burr and John Julius Augustine, London
merchant, were interested in the tract an
terror to the date Of the same. y John
Brown named his townships Industry, En-.
terprise, Perseverance, Unanimity, Frugal
ity, Sobriety, Economy and Regularity, all
Of which are doubtless practiced by those
who visit these regions, especially the sixth.
He made some expensive efforts to settle
this tract, all Of which proved Intellectual.
After his decease the tract remained in the
possession of his family until within few
years, when it was sold to Robert r. Ly-
on, who contracted it to the Sackett's IIar-
Dor and Saratoga Railroad Company
From this his name has been applied to
and become the generic term of the whole;
wilderness region, although his tract prop
erly comprises but a very small portion Of
it. Many call this region the North
Woods, but no term is so generally nsed as
John Browns Tract. 1t, comprises more
or less of nine counties of this State, viz
Hamilton, Herkimer, Lewis, St. Lawrence,
Franklin, Clinton, Essex, Warren and Sar-
atoga. i "1aa jo4oIA
