A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Va COL. MARINUS WILLETT. A mong the objects and purposes for which the Oneida Historical Society is organized, are the collection and preservation of materials relative to that part of New York formerly known as Tryon county. Within the scope of this organization is the gathering of scant and scattered materials, and weavinothem into a narrative relative to the lives of those who have beeprominent and foremost in the important and critical period of the existence fthe county, and by their valor, patriotism and masterly activity made the valley of the Mohawk historic ground, and 0-iven to it a national importance in the history of the country. Of all the persons who have contributed to this grand result, I think I am safe in saying no one stands out more conspicuously than Col Marim,S Willett. It may be considered a fortunate conclusion that the gathering of materials for a sketch of his life should be no longer postponed, for it is evident that each years delay lessens the chances and increases the difficulties of obtaining information not already recorded in the well known histories of the times especially facts which can now be found only in unpublished manu scripts, or in the memory of living witnesses. In my correspondence and inquiries for facts I luckily ascertained n TuM ykn Wn t0 bl Uac m Ptively few, that two sons Col. Willett are yet alive, the one eighty-six a,,d the other near yeighty-eight years of age, with bright minds and unclouded ntellects, who were able to impart much valuable information concermng their father, which but for their retentive memories and mely aid might have soon passed into hopeless oblivion A side from the narrative of Col. Willett, written or dictated Minly, ,not entirely by himself after he had Attained hi, seventieth birthday, and published in 831, the next year after his leath, by the elder of the two sons aforementio
