> Does anyone know about a "Knickerbocker Press" that existed in 1807? (I

> several articles published in 'The Knickerbocker Press' and the 'Genesee
> Messenger,' trying to instill in the populace the importance of a
> waterway across the state." The publication of Hawley's essays in the
> Genesee Messenger is well-known; it is the reference to publication in
> "The Knickerbocker Press" about which I am curious.
