An Appreciation
The author wishes to extend to Mr. E. E. Brownell, the publisher, sincere thanks for his profound interest and cooperation. His affection for the Mohawk Valley has led Mr. Brownell to forsake the commercial for the artistic in an effort to adequately present the subject matter.
To Dr. Dixon Ryan Fox, President of the New York State Historical Association and to Dr. Arthur Pound, State Historian, a deep debt of gratitude for continuing guidance and helpful suggestions throughout the preparation of this manuscript ;-
To Dr. W. N. P. Dailey, to Mr. Harry V. Bush and to Mr. Edward J. Sheehan who have shared their intimate knowledge of Mohawk Valley history in an effort to secure accuracy and authenticity ;-
To Mr. Charles H. Huntley, to Mr. William S. Underhill, to Mrs. Marie Noll Cormack and to Mrs. Ruth B. Groat for invaluable assistance with the many details of final preparation ;-
To Miss Marion P. Wiltsie, to Miss Juliet Wolohan and to many others of the New York State Library staff for their cooperation in making available much of the bibliography wherein research was made ;----
And finally to a host of interested Valley folk who have contributed family records and anecdotes which have added so materially to the value of the text.
