Ric Dragon has sent me a copy of your e-mail concerning
a talk at the Ogdensburg Remington Museum on March 20th. I don't know
if he had the time to answer you for he was to go out of town on a business
trip but I just wanted you to know if I was closer I would surely be going
to hear the
talk. I have "whiled" away some of my winter hours on reading of Remington
and Poultney on such trips. At first I was trying to locate perhaps
what
Poultney would have done with his extensive collections of letters, etc.
with Remington. I finally found that he must have donated this to the
St.
Lawrence University and it must have been in 1925. I really can't
access any of the info. for they indicate it is for "LIB USE ONLY" located
in the
ODY Special Collections, Call # MSS. Coll. No. 008. Also, Poulteny
writes of these trips in "SEVENTY SUMMERS".
Have you researched St Lawrence University Library
on the Bigelow family? They indicate an entry dated 1890!
I do hope that you are able to tape the talk and I know you will enjoy
the excursion. I was just rereading the article that Poultney wrote in
"The
Quarterly Journal of the New York State Historical Assoc." in 1929 regarding
Remington ( some extracts from unpublished letters) very interesting.
I, also just came back from a walk around the ole Homestead - we had a
light snow yesterday but the crocus and the tulips are coming up.
