A manuscript history of the town of Manchester in two parts written by Judge John S. Pettibone, probably in the 1860s.

The collection also includes an undated letter from Pettibone regarding Gideon Ormsby and other Revolutionary War incidents. There is also a letter from the donor of the manuscript, Mary C. Munson, giving information about it's provenance. A letter from Pettibone, addressed to Daniel Baldwin and dated July 13, 1869, was removed from MSA 490 and has been included in this collection. In it, Pettibone describes some early incidents that occurred in Manchester, Vermont when he was a child.
