This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.

PREFACE.
THE History of Cattaraugus County, here presented to its patrons for their approval, is the result of long and patient labor and research, which have been bestowed upon it with the view of producing an authentic and connected narrative of events of general importance or interest which have occurred in the territory now comprised in the county of Cattaraugus, or in which its residents have been actors ; confining the account as closely as practicable to the limits of the county, and to its present and former inhabitants; referring to outside matters only so far as is necessary to show the connection of events.
To the general matter pertaining to the county is added a history of each of its towns, embracing notices of early settlers, sketches of churches, schools, societies, and other local organizations, and also special and statistical matters relating to the county and towns, intended chiefly for reference. Other portions of the work are necessarily arranged according to the subjects of which they treat.
In the preparation of this history, many of the best and most reliable works bearing on the subject have been consulted, and no labor has been spared in the gathering of historical material from the most thoroughly informed citizens of the county; and in these labors and researches it has been not more the object to collect all attainable facts, than to exclude everything of doubtful authenticity.
It is unnecessary to say more in presentation of the work to its patrons. They will judge it upon its merits, and it is hoped, and confidently believed, that it will meet their approval. The design has been to trace in its pages the progress of the county of Cattaraugus in such a manner as to show to the reader of the present day, its gradual development from the original wilderness, and through the maturing stages of its existence, up to its present condition of enlightenment and prosperity ; and to illustrate, in plain and simple story, the privations, the virtues, the piety, patriotism and enterprise of her people. How far this purpose has been accomplished the public verdict will decide.
1
To those who have kindly given their aid in the collection of material for the work, the historian desires to express his thanks; and among these he would mention in general the pastors of the churches, the gentlemen of the Cattaraugus County Medical Society and of the Bar Association, the editors of the various journals, and the county officers. He is also under special obligations to the following gentlemen and others throughout the county for courtesies and favors extended and for valuable information, both oral and written : Hon. D. H. Bolles, Col. James G. Johnson, Hon. George Van Campen, Dr. Lambert Whitney, Col. Enos C. Brooks, Rev. Henry M. Curtis, Olcott P. Boardman, James H. Brooks, C. V. B. Barse, N. S. Butler, R. O.
