Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. WE present to the public this history of Columbia County - the result of much labor and research with a feeling of confidence, tempered by a consciousness of unavoidable imperfection. To write a truthful history of any county or section of country is never a light or an easy task; but it becomes peculiarly onerous in the case of a county like Columbia, whose annals extend through more than two and a half centuries, and whose story must commence far back in the dimness of that ancient time when the dusky Mohicans first welcomed the pale-faced voyagers from beyond the sea.
