Excerpt from The Dutch and the Iroquois This paper follows so closely the line of thought contained in the Preface to the thirteenth volume of "Documents relating to the History of the State of New York, " by Hon. Joseph B. Carr, Secretary of State, that I should cheerfully present it as the development of his thoughts, were it not true that it is an entirely independent testimony to the same. At the close of an evening, December 27, 1881, the Historical Society having listened to a paper from the Rev. Charles W. Baird, D. D., of Rye, N. Y., on "The Walloon and Huguenot Settlements of New Amsterdam, " I ventured, in moving a vote of thanks to the reverend speaker, to offer the propositions herein contained, as a challenge to some descendant of the Dutch to do his ancestors justice, by substantiating them from the records of the colony. In putting my motion, the President of the Society, the Rev. Dr. Storrs, added to it a rider, that I should be requested by the Society to undertake the work.
