Excerpt from Historical Record to the Close of the Nineteenth Century of Rockland County, New York The history of what is now the county of Rockland, formerly part of the county of Orange, and the early history of this county after its sep aration from Orange county is as interesting as that of any county in the State. It is rich and teeming with events of the Revolutionary period, which should be read with the keenest interest by all who are today enjoying the fruits of the sacrifices and achievements of that period. This county is one of the five or six counties of the State that are directly and closely identified with the great struggle for independence. The British forces and the Continental Army camped and marched and fought over much of the territory of Rockland county.
