| Introduction | In 1777 Robert R. Livingston, John Jay and Gouverneur Morris wrote the New York State Constitution. Perhaps the most important position in that document was the Chancellor who sat on the Council of Revision and in his court was charged with deciding, not what was legal, but what was right. A blog dedicated mainly to the 18th and early 19th century history of the Hudson River Valley with a little bit of what ever catches my interest that day thrown in. Twitter @chancellorbob |
