Note 2 — THE PIONEERS OF UNADILLA VILLAGE. 1784-1840.

Of events in this valley before and during the Revolution, the author has written in detail in the volume entitled “The Old New York Frontier: Its Wars with Indians and Tories, its Missionary Schools, Pioneers and Land Titles, 1616-1800,” published in the spring of 1901 by Charles Scribner’s Sons. Many authorities for the information contained in the present volume will be found in the Bibliography appended to “The Old New York Frontier.” Others are indicated here in the text.

It is proper to explain that the contents of this volume originally formed a part of the manuscript of “The Old New York Frontier.” In seeking a publisher for that work, with a view to its general sale through the book trade, the author decided to reserve these village chapters for publication in their present form, their interest being local rather than general.
