Excerpt from The Mountain Hero and His Associates

The compiler is indebted to the courtesy of several gentlemen of Vermont for important assistance in the preparation of these pages. From the Hon. Charles K. Williams was received a file of the State Banner, published at Bennington in 1841, and containing a series of Historical Readings, by Hon. Hiland Hall, which have been freely used in the portion of this work relating to the difficulties between New York and the New Hampshire Grants. From George F. Houghton, Esq, of St. Albans, many valuable suggestions were derived, as well as a most eloquent address on the Life of Seth Warner, delivered by him before the Vermont legislature. Thrs and two other ad dresses, by Prof. James D. Butler, on the early history of Vermont, have supplied these pages with several important incidents not found elsewhere. Chauncey Goodrich, Esq, of Burlington, and Brigadier-general Ethan Allen Hitchcock, (grandson of the Hero of Ticonderoga, also communicated facts which have enriched the present work.
