Making of the Empire State (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Making of the Empire State The narration of epochal events in the growth of New York State. They do not constitute a connected history; indeed, it is doubtful if such a history has any place Whatever in juvenile literature. The things told, however, are events with which both young and old are expected to be familiar. In the preparation of the book I am indebted for information to the late Dr. Isaac Stout, of the Department of Public Instruction, and to Principal B. E. Hicks, of Painted Post. To my wife, Lilian Burnham Redway, I owe much for faithful and painstaking help. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
