Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of the First Settlement of the Several Towns on Long-Island: With Their Political Condition to the End of the American Revolution The original of this little work, was to furnish some account of the first settlement of Long-Island - to preserve the memory of the most important facts connected with it, which were daily falling into oblivion, and to contribute materials for a correct history of the State. With the same view the work has been revised; many of the original records have been re-examined, some mistakes have been corrected, some parts have been enlarged, some new facts have been added; and it is presumed that the account here given is as correct as the nature of the sources from which the facts have been derived will admit. For many of the facts here stated, I am indebted to others, particularly to Ebenezer W. Case, Jonathan Dayton, Benjamin F. Thompson, Gabriel Furman, Esquires; to Col. Nicoll Floyd, and General Jeremiah Johnson; for the meteorological observations, to Christopher Ming, Esq. and for many of the facts relating to East Hampton and the Montauk language, to a manuscript account of them by the late John Lyon Gardiner, deceased. A few papers referred to in the text, or illustrative of the facts there stated, have been added to the appendix.
