Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before this work, here in an edition containing three volumes, two of them of biographical nature, was first published, the authors cherished the hope that it could be a genuine narrative history of the county and wanted to be personally instrumental in achieving so important a result. Their attention was especially directed to the matter by their observations during their connection with the schools, from which they became convinced of the extremely elementary character of the general knowledge of this county's history, even in relation to the Revolution, whereof, indeed, anything like a well-coordinated understanding is most exceptional among the people, and quite incapable of being taught to the young because of the unsuitability for that purpose of all books heretofore published that bear on the subject. In formulating the plan for the present work they had fundamentally in view a lucid continuous narrative, thorough in its treatment of the outlines of the subject and reasonably attentive to local details without extending to minuteness. These lines have been followed throughout. This is volume two out of three, containing the first part of the biographies of hundreds of important persons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Westchester County, New York: From Its Earliest Settlement to the Year 1900 Long before the work now given to the public was conceived as a practical project. The present editor realized the force of these consid orations and cherished not only a hope that a genuine narrative his tory of the county might some day be produced, but an ambition to become personally instrumental in achieving so important a result. His attention was especially directed to the matter by his observa tions during his connection with the schools, from which he became convince-d of the extremely elementary character of the general knowledge of this county's history, even in relation to the Revolution, whereof, indeed, anything like a well co-ordinated understanding is most exceptional among the people, and quite incapable of being taught to the young because of the unsuitability for that purpose of all books heretofore published that bear on the subject. In formulating the plan for the present work the editor had funda mentally in view a lucid continuous narrative, thorough in its treat ment of the outlines of the subject and reasonably attentive to local details without extending to minuteness. These lines have been fol lowed throughout. All existing materials, so far as accessible, have been utilized, proper credit being given to the sources from which borrowings have been made. The work comprehends a variety of new materials, which have been interwoven in the text. Portions of the manuscript have bee-n revised or criticised by persons particularly well informed on certain phases of the subject; and to all of these critics the editor extends his thankful acknowledgments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Westchester County and the Town of Rye: An Address When Rye was purchased by John Coe, Peter Disbrow, Thomas Stedwell and John Budd, who came from Connecticut (the last, at least, from near Rye, England a) it was established as an English Colony. In the year 1680 some of the inhabitants of Rye attempted to occupy and settle on land along the Hudson and complained to their Connecticut legislature that they were opposed. They not only did not get what they petitioned for, but on the new settlement the line was defined at about its present point on the Byram River, and the people of Rye found themselves turned over to New York. They refused to pay taxes for awhile in either colony and did not accept the situation until 1731. This boundary has not, to this day, been definitely and satisfactorily fixed and a commission is now at work on it. In 1831 when the United States Government purchased a part of Captain's Island for its light house it took a grant from both Connecticut and New York, as it was doubtful to which state the island belonged. New York claimed jurisdiction over it as a part of the Town of Rye down to 1883. Long Island Sound was called at one time The Devil's Belt. B The great original proprietors of Westchester County, were six in number. Rye, which included White Plains and Harrison, was never the pos session of one man.
