ONE OF THE SCARCER BOOKS I HAVE EVER OFFERED!! ONLY ONE I HAVE EVER HAD!!
This is New York State Museum Bulletin 227-228,
The Tully Glacial Series.
Published in
1921
, this consists of the 62-page book and the original fold-out map which centers on Syracuse in the north and extends south from there, plus many photos within the text. There is also a fold out map of a comparable area in Switzerland that is discussed, and a fold out relief map of Syracuse and some of the surrounding areas including some of the Finger Lakes.
This is a cool old book that describes the glacial features of the area and describes them as parts of the larger glacial push that affected the region at the last Ice Age. The features, like drumlins, moraines, the outwash plain, etc, are all described and related to the original glaciation.
The large map has a cool vintage look and is one of the big draws for this ole book. Syracuse is in the north and the map extends south to around Homer. Many photos of the glacial features are of familiar areas. Fortunately, although this book often has the photos and maps cut out for framing, this one is complete. (Please don't cut it up!)
This is a cool old book that will help you see the region with new eyes as you will be able to relate the features to something larger than you can see. A rare old item.
Please read the condition notes.
Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
