Excerpt from Semi-Centennial History of the City of Rochester: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers This book tells its own story, but a few words with regard to its compilation are deemed appropriate. Its editor or author - for while he is less than the latter he is certainly more than the former has given full credit in the running pages to all those who assisted him by the preparation of complete chapters or of portions of chap ters to any appreciable 'degree. To those who have aided by giving information when it was sought, by confirming previous impressions or by correcting erroneous conclusions, no reference by name is necessary; they will find their satisfaction in the knowledge that their help has been utilised and that they have contributed to the preservation, in this form, of facts that would otherwise grow con stantly more difficult to obtain. With the hope that the volume will stand as an enduring record of Rochester, from the earliest times in which can be found a trace of human life in this locality to the fiftieth birthday of the city, the compiler presents this work to the consideration of his fellow-citizens.
