There is no section of pleasant valley-land, of lake- 
and forest-dotted wilderness, of rushing streams and cul¬ 
tivated fields, east of the Mississippi, that surpasses in 
its wealth of scenery that bit of the Empire State known 
as the Mohawk Valley. It is natural that such a land 
should be rich in romance, both legendary and historical. 
From Schenectady to Rome, every town has its romantic 
story of the French Wars or the Revolution, every bit of 
woodland has its wealth of pre-historic legend. 
Many characters of national interest figure prom¬ 
inently in this record of the Mohawk Valley, while war¬ 
like Indians, black-robed Jesuits, French officers, and 
early English settlers — the picturesque population of 
the Valley a century ago—live again in its pages. Pho¬ 
tographs and sketches of persons, places, and events 
profusely illustrate the volume and aid the imagination 
of the reader who knows and loves the Valley of to¬ 
day.
