Preface
The chapters of this book consist, in the main, of the narration of epochal events in the growth of New York State. They do not constitute a connected history; indeed, it is doubtful if such a history has an}^ place whatever in juvenile literature. The things told, however, are events with which both young and old are expected to be familiar. In the preparation of the book I am indebted for information to the late Dr. Isaac Stout, of the Department of Public Instruction, and to Principal B. E. Hicks, of Painted Post. To my wife, Lilian Burnham Pedway, I owe much for faithful and painstaking help.
