Excerpt from Three Centuries in Champlain Valley: A Collection of Historical Facts and Incidents, Tercentenary Edition
Three Centuries in Champlain Valley has been sug gested by the Tercentenary celebration, by the history and literature of the valley and by frequent inquiries in regard to the same. In response to such inquiries reference can be made to many sources of information but these are often inaccessible to the public or scattered through so many books as to make an examination by the stranger or sojourner im possible. Even among our own people there is far too little knowledge in regard to local history, and each year sees the obliteration of many old landmarks and loss of valuable records. For the preservation of these memorials Saranac Chapter is endeavoring to place them in a permanent form accessible to the general reader.
Relying upon the principle that no section is so remote from the general government or so insignificant that its history is not dependent to a great extent upon the laws and methods of that government, this book has been constructed upon a framework of general, well-authenticated history, filled in and, it is hoped, illuminated by the Home aspect of history, Biography and Genealogy, especially as it pertains to the settlers and dwellers in this valley. Webster said, There is a moral and philosophical respect for our ancestors which elevates the character and improves the heart. Then, shall we not consider these things?
