Synopsis

Excerpt from The Fort Edward Book: Containing Some Historical Sketches With Illustrations, and Family Records

No one can know better, no one can more deeply regret, than the author, the defects and omissions of the present volume. If it has any virtues, they should be ascribed to my esteemed friend, Mr. James D. Keating, the publisher; except for his encouragement, enterprise and industry, it had never been printed; its faults, and they are legion, are all my own. Some of them might have been avoided, but most of them are due to reasons imperative in their nature.

The following pages will be found to contain some historical material never before published. For all that is most valuable the author is indebted to many kind friends, and this indebtedness the reader will generally find acknowledged throughout the subsequent pages, but to dare to hope that I have always adequately expressed my obligations in this regard, would be perhaps to dare too much.

The subject, "Fort Edward," furnishes a theme sufficient attractive for the pen of a "ready writer." That the town has never had a local historian must be a subject of regret. That some day there will be written, and published, a history of Fort Edward that shall be worthy of the name, is the earnest hope of one who now gives to the world some of the humble gleanings of an unskilled stroller along a classic highway.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Restoration Editors' mission is to bring long out of print manuscripts back to life. Some smudges, annotations or unclear text may still exist, due to permanent damage to the original work.
