Excerpt from The Early History of Saugerties 1660-1825At the request of Saugerties Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, the author has attempted to tell the story of the settlement and development of the town of Saugerties, basing this work upon papers contributed at various times to the press.He would acknowledge the assistance given him by that chapter, not only so far as it has been personal, but more than this in its cultivation of a spirit of true patriotism which more than justifies its existence as the world may thus know that its very being calls attention to all our ancestors struggled for, suffered and sacrificed that they and their children might be forever free.He has attempted to tell how those ancestors lived their simple and sincere lives, to set forth their manners, customs and pleasures, to record how they developed their young men and maidens into men and women physically, mentally and spiritually, and built the township we love.He has attempted to gather up their old Dutch ballads, folk songs, riddles, nursery rhymes and nonsense verses before it is forever too late. This has never been done, and it can not be done by the next generation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
