It so happens that there will be a selection of the almanacs on exhibit in the reading room beginning the week of May 20. Otherwise, as with all the collections, they are available to be consulted in the reading room. Keep in mind this will require registering as a reader and providing identification to the staff. Information regarding research in the library can be found on the library portion of the website (http://www.nyhistory.org/library/research)

This is an interesting find. Davy Crockett was one of my favorite childhood folk heroes brought to life by the popular television series. This piece of American history still seems to be unfolding through these remarkable almanacs.
