A History of Lewis County, in the State of New York: From the Beginning of Its Settlement to the Present Time (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from A History of Lewis County, in the State of New York: From the Beginning of Its Settlement to the Present Time

An interior county, with no antiquities Older than some of its inhabitants and no traditionary legends, or incidents Of border life, beyond the ordinary privations of a new settlement, appears to Offer but slender materials for his tory. Still there are certain duties which the Present owes to the Future, to transmit in a permanent form the record of the Past, that the memory of the olden time, and the names of those who have aided in the formation of so ciety fall not into Oblivion; and although our annals may be quite void of those dramatic events which have too often filled the historic page, it is believed the quiet origin and growth of our community, have presented facts that will interest the present, and instruct a future age.
