Excerpt from Centennial History of Erie County, New York: Being Its Annals From the Earliest Recorded Events to the Hundredth Year of American Independence The principal object of this introduction is to give credit where credit is due. Nearly all the first hundred pages of my history, and much of the next hundred, are drawn from Turner's Holland Purchase, Ketchum's Buffalo and the Senecas, and Stone's Life of Red Jacket. The still later matter relating to Red Jacket is, also, mostly from Mr. Stone's work. The story of the White Woman is abstracted from Seaver's biography, while W. P. Letchworth's memoir of the Pratt family furnishes many incidents of early times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
