Description
Excerpt from History of Columbia County, New York: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers
WE present to the public this history of Columbia County - the result of much labor and research with a feeling of confidence, tempered by a consciousness of unavoidable imperfection.
To write a truthful history of any county or section of country is never a light or an easy task; but it becomes peculiarly onerous in the case of a county like Columbia, whose annals extend through more than two and a half centuries, and whose story must commence far back in the dimness of that ancient time when the dusky Mohicans first welcomed the pale-faced voyagers from beyond the sea.
