Opis: A Condensed History of Cooperstown (Classic Reprint) - Livermore S. T.

Excerpt from A Condensed History of Cooperstown

It is with diffidence that this volume is now offered to the public. And yet, the encouragement given to the author by competent advisers, and the earnest desire he has cherished to execute his task faithfully and with impartiality, inspire in him the hope of a charitable judgment from its readers whenever they may discover apparent or real errors.

The former edition of the Chronicles of Cooperstown, although not containing the name of the author, is well known to have been written by J. Fenimore Cooper. Items of local interest which he omitted are now inserted in notes, and lest these should too much encumber his work, a chain of incidents beginning at a point prior to his record, and subsequently parallel with it, is given in connection with the history as brought down from 1838 to the present. In doing this a careful examination of consecutive and cotemporaneous files of village newspapers, published weekly from 1795 to 1862, has been made.
