A Short History of New York State is a 1957 history book by David M. Ellis, James A.

Frost, Harold C. Syrett, and Harry J.

Carman.

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] A decade after its original publication, a revised edition was printed under the title A History of New York State.

The revision was conducted by Ellis, since Carman had died in the interim, and both Frost and Syrett had moved into administrative jobs.
