Reprint of the original, first published in 1875.

Excerpt from Spaulding's History of Crown Point, N. Y: From 1800 to 1874 In writing the history of Old Crown Point, it carries me back to the scenes of my childhood, and creates a feeling of sadness mingled with pleasure; but as it has been, either my good or bad fortune, to be an inhabitant of this town from my infancy, my memory dates back to near the beginning of this century; and it shall be my sole object and aim, while writing this history, to show to the reader Crown Point as it Was, at my earliest moments, and its rise and progress, from time to time, and the cause thereof, hoping, if he has the patience to follow me through these vicissitudes of human life for three score years and ten, he never will be sorry for the pains taken.
