Orange County, New York

     In presenting this little volume to the public there is no intention on the part of the writer to make any claims of originality or literary excellence. The main purpose in view has been to present in brief form the most important phases and incidents of historic interest relating to early Colonial and Revolutionary times; to record in narrative form the heroic struggles of those early pioneers who built and kept alive those old religious organizations, whose sacred houses of worship have sheltered many generations of honest, sincere people of many religious faiths; to awaken anew the interest and patriotism of those of the present day in the oft-told story of the heroic sacrifices of those who fought and died in the Revolutionary struggle for independence that Democratic Government could be founded and maintained upon the sacred principle that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
