Excerpt from History of Chautauqua County, New York, From Its First Settlement to the Present Time: With Numerous Biographical and Family Sketches After the lapse of a period much longer than was anticipated, the writer offers to the public the result of his protracted labors. Although he has no assurance that the work will fully meet the expectations of all for whom it. Has been written, he indulges the hope that it will receive a good measure of the popular favor. But how much soever it may fall short of universal commendation, he has the satisfaction to believe, that its supposed defects will not be ascribed to any lack of effort, on his part, to fulfill the pledge of his best endeavors to produce a history which should meet the expectations of the people, and reflect honor upon the county. This has certainly been his paramount object, irre spective of the time deemed necessary for its accomplishment.
