In the early settlement Of New Paltz and its history for nearly a century afterwards there is such a touch Of to mance, such a blending Of the stern realities Of frontier life with the harmony of the poet's golden age, such noble examples Of devotion to the cause Of religious liberty, such brotherly kindness toward each other as exiles for a com mon cause, that the example should not be lost to posterity.
