Excerpt from Reminiscences of Ogdensburg: 1749-1907 After several years spent in studying the various periods of United States History, the Literary Committee of Swe-kat-si Chapter, D. A. R., thought it might not be amiss to review the history of our old town on the St. Lawrence. The work proved so pleasant, and aroused such general interest, that it was decided to incorporate the papers in a book - hence this volume. Swe-kat-si Chapter disclaims any literary pretensions for this book, but it does think, and hope, that it may preserve for future generations the early history of Ogdensburg, and many reminiscences of those days when this was only a small and remote village. Thanks are due to Mr. Henry C. Deane, whose kindness has enabled us to publish the book. Acknowledgment should also be made of the assistance given us by the already published Histories of St. Lawrence County, from which sources we have freely taken such material as was needed for the historical part of the papers. Old diaries and family letters have been loaned most willingly by those who could aid us with such records. The personal anecdotes have been gladly furnished by those who remember the exciting events of 1837 and the years succeeding, while the reminiscences of the pioneer days have been given verbatim as related by those of our friends who remember the tales as told to them by their grandfathers and grandmothers who were children when this old town was new.
