This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ...one blanket for each man. The huts of the Hudson Highlands were provided with chimneys built of the stones so abundant in the region. Boards were used when available and hand-forged nails are not infrequently found today, buried about hut sites here. Particular features of the terrain which determined the selection of hutting grounds were, first, nearness to water, second, the presence of wood for fuel, and third, shelter from the cold winter winds. A wooded valley through which a brook ran, or upon the eastern slope of a hill, was the customary location of a camp. The region near the Hudson was even more thickly populated than it is today, in spite of all the modern farms, villas and villages. The hills, now wooded, were mostly bare and rocky in Revolutionary days. The axe took toll from the forest growth until hills and valleys were stripped for miles about in order to provide lumber and fuel or to clear the approach against enemy attack. As the war went on, wood became more and more scarce, and camps were sometimes shifted in quest of sites where fuel would be close at hand. The log-built towns of the Revolutionary soldiers, perhaps more than the fortifications, have their historic and human associations. In and about these dwelling places, Continentals and militia worked and drilled. Here they chatted, ate and drank and suffered from cold and hunger or homesickness through the hard winters in what they called sometimes, "the hated Highlands," far from home and from the accustomed haunts of the citizenry. The rocky and mountainous character of the land in much of the Highland region has hindered cultivation of the soil but, fortunately for the shrine seeker, has been an important factor in the preservation of Revolutionary...

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the City of New York, Vol. 2 of 3: Its Origin, Rise, and Progress; Containing Over Three Hundred Superb Illustrations It has been my intention to collect under one view the almost count less authorities from which I have derived aid. But the extreme dim culty of assigning a proper measure to such catalogue, and the absolute want of space for its insertion, deprive me of the coveted pleasure. It would be useful to the student; and yet it would give a totally inade quate notion of the vast extent of the field in which I have been gleaning. Some of the choicest links in my chain have been found in the most out of-the-way places among seared and yellow letters written by actors in the great events narrated, in old sermons, records of trials, wills, genealogical manuscripts; documents, and pamphlets; while concerning certain matters tinged with ambiguity and uncertainty, I have discovered extraordinary and unique sources of authentic information outside of the city and State.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the State of New York, Vol. 2 When this volume was begun, it was my purpose to bring its contents down to the accession of Queen Anne of England, and the chapters embracing the years between 1691 and 17 02 are ready for the printer. But, by the affluence of original authorities, and the temptation to use them, perhaps, too liberally, this book, in spite of laborious condensation, may have grown unfashionably large; and these chapters must be reserved for another volume should the public manifest a desire to learn more of early New York, down to the inauguration of Washington.
