Biographical Sketch
Legislation of 1885 established a state forest preserve, designating 14 counties in which land then owned, or subsequently acquired, by the state would be preserved as forever wild forest land. Later, Chapter 444 of the Laws of 1912 (section 50), defined the forest preserve as lands owned or thereafter acquired by the state within Clinton (with exceptions), Delaware, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Lewis, Oneida, Saratoga, St. Lawrence, Warren, Washington, Greene, Ulster, and Sullivan counties, except lands within the limits of any incorporated village or city.
