PREFACE.
IN submitting this volume to its patrons, its publishers are quite confident it will be appar- ent from its pages that every reasonable effort has been made by them to make it complete in its several departments. Notwithstanding this, however, they are conscious that to some of its readers it may appear that historic records have been omitted which should have been given, and that in other cases record has been made of matters without consideration of their un- importance. On behalf of its compilers, it is proper to say that its publishers have the fullest confidence that the most ample care has been taken to catch up all the threads of history and unite them in a common woof; that, if some are worthless, the mass is valuable; that if any have been lost or overlooked, the fault is not one of intention, the primary object having been to preserve even the minutest detail of the history of a county which ranks among the first in the State in its organization, in its development, in its intelligence, and in the patriotism and worth of its sons.
Of many of the pioneer families of the county it may be said that they have now no known representatives within its borders. While the footsteps of their sons may be traced in almost all of the States, the record of themselves can scarce be found, even on gray monuments where their remains were interred. The friendly voice of neighborhood t dition-perhaps the imperishable record of services performed to the State-is all that remai but these have been gathered up as completely as possible, that their life-work may be pla in rank with those of their contemporaries, that they, with them, may go down to the fu in a common remembrance of the toils and struggles and dangers which they alike endu ___. While this attention has been given to those of past years, the biographical record of the men of the living present has been amply cared for.
To the different departments of the volume special attention need not be directed. It may be proper to say, however, that the General History of the county, as well as the history of Newburgh and of New Windsor, were prepared by Mr. RUTTENBER, and will be found com- plete and reliable. That department necessarily embraces many facts relating to the towns which could only be presented in consecutive narrative to convey a correct view of the sub- jooks considered. The histories of the remaining owns were compiled by Mr. LEWIS,rds reeks, CLARK, and the biographies by other writer. A knowledgment has been made in thaille, or

of the work for assistance kindly given to the compilers. The persons referred to have also the thanks of the publishers.
The illustrations speak for themselves, and will, the publishers believe, challenge admi- ration. The maps are the most complete and accurate, so far as they claim to furnish details, that have ever been given to the public. In the lists of volunteers in the war of the Re- bellion, while there are perhaps errors and omissions which would gladly have been avoided, there is also a mass of information that would otherwise, perhaps, never have had the published record which it deserves.
The publishers, however, have no desire to appear as unnecessarily commending the volume, nor do they conceive it necessary to apologize for any of its imperfections. Ap- preciating fully the generous support which has been extended to them by the representative men of the county, they are content to await their verdict.
