Excerpt from Recollections of an Octogenarian
Of these sketches, Numbers I. to VI. were prepared at the request of the Editors of the Catskill Recorder. The others, with the exception of Number XXVII., were occasioned by a daughter's request for reminiscences of my early years. They appeared in newspapers at different times, and are now brought together in this form chiefly in order that copies may be furnished for a few friends.
