A 1974 local-history compilation by Lawrence W. Gardner on Toddsville, a mill hamlet near Cooperstown, New York, founded by the Todd family. It gathers newspaper recollections from The Freeman's Journal and The Otsego Farmer, excerpts from Pearl Weeks's Pioneer Industries and Ed Moore's column on the Otsego Paper Mills, and a chapter attributed to James Fenimore Cooper. It covers the woolen, cotton, paper, grist and saw mills and the chair factory, along with houses, tenements, churches, schools, stores, post offices and early advertisements. Many photographs and two maps (1868 and 1904) accompany the text, and it closes with obituaries of Samuel Street Todd and a bibliography.
