Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Border Warfare of New York: During the Revolution; Or, the Annals of Tryon County In presenting this volume of Annals to the public, I would wish to say a few words as to its origin. It is a right which every reader of a book purporting to be a record of facts possesses and may exercise, to examine its authenticity, and to demand whence the author has drawn his deductions. In the fall of 1830 a society was formed in the village of Cherry-Valley for literary purposes generally, but especially for collecting facts illustrative of the natural and civil history of that section of country. I had been often requested to collect and imbody the events of its civil history, and was again solicited to prosecute this branch of inquiry. I at first contemplated writing only the history of Cherry-Valley. Born and reared in that valley, I had from early life been in some degree familiar with the incidents which had occurred there. They were interwoven with my earliest impressions; and I entered upon the business of arranging and compiling them with an interest which the subject, perhaps, did not merit. Upon examination, I found its revolutionary history connected with that of the valley of the Mohawk; and thinking I might, from the documents and information which I had obtained, throw some light upon the comparatively imperfect history of that valley during that interesting period, I dropped the original plan, and adopted the one which I have followed in the subsequent pages.
