Excerpt from Origin, Progress and Vicissitudes of the Mohawk and Hudson Rail Road and the First Excursion on It
The tradition of an extraordinary excursion upon the rail road between Albany and Schenectady, at an early day in the history of that road, ' being a subject of much dicussion at this time, and not generally well understood, I have endeavored to investigate thoroughly the facts con cerning the event. Although it occurred within the memory of persons who may now be present, and who witnessed or may have been cognizant of it, there is still no little doubt and controversy about it, especially as to when it took place, and who occupied places on the train. The lithographed representations of it that are frequently met with serve to perpetuate the memory of the mysteri ous trip, and to excite curiosity respecting it.
Observing that Knickerbocker began the history of New York with an account of the creation, 'and that a more recent chronicler has commenced the annals of a neigh boring inland county with the discovery of America by Columbus, I am disposed to make a starting point at that era in the history of artificial locomotion, when the trans portation of coals for fuel in England had become so great a strain upon physical exertion, as to stimulate invention in aid of the efforts of man and beast to over come obstacles in the pursuit of that enterprise.
