Book Description

Excerpt from The Proceedings and Addresses at the Freethinkers' Convention: Held at Watkins, N. Y. August 22d, 23d, 24th and 25th. 1878 We had a pleasant night's ride over the Hudson River and New York Central road, via Albany, Syracuse, and Geneva, being fourteen hours on the road. The same sleeping-cars that we took at the city brought us to the beautiful village of Watkins, of three thousand five hundred inhabitants, located in a lovely valley in Schuyler county, at the head of Seneca Lake, a body of water forty miles in length and from two to five miles in width, splendid farm ing lands lying on either side. We found upon arrival that but few had preceded us. Hon. Geo. W. Julian and a few others from a distance had taken rooms at the hotels.
