Dedication.
Like my friend, the late Judge John Sanders, of Scotia,
Schenectady County, N. Y., who took off his hat when meeting
descendants of the heroes of Oriskany, the bloodiest, the most
stubbornly contested, and perhaps the decisive battle in the War
of the American Revolution, the writer makes his bow to the
people of the Mohawk Valley, and to them, and to the memory
of their brave ancestors, dedicates this sketch of one of the Makers
of America.
