 Rambles in Colonial Byways Volumes I and
II BY RUFUS ROCKWELL WILSON Illustrated from
drawings By William Lincoln Hudson and from photographs
Philadelphia &
London J. B. Lippincott
Company 1901 TO M. A. K.
Interest in the colonial
and Revolutionary periods grows and widens with each passing year.
Should the
present record of the writer's rambles in nooks and byways, rich in
memories of
the past, serve, even in modest measure, to quicken and foster this
interest, I
shall feel that the reward for my labors is an ample one. It is proper to state that
some of the chapters here brought together have appeared in part in
Lippincott's, Harper's Weekly, the New England Magazine, and the
Churchman, but
all have been carefully revised and considerably expanded for use in
this
place. Since the one entitled “Three Groups of German Mystics” was
written the
Separatists of Zoar have ceased to exist as an organized society. I desire to express my
thanks to my longtime friend, Augustus S. Hooker, for suggestions and
information which have been of the greatest value in the preparation of
these
volumes, and to two other good friends, William Lincoln Hudson and
Lincoln Doty
Brown, for the illustrations and photographs they have been kind enough
to
prepare for them. R. R. W. Contents - Vol. I I. Two Atlantic Islands II. Some Colonial Nooks III. Rambles in Old New York IV. In The Wake of the Patroons V. The Albany Post Road VI.
