A Round Table Of Good Fellows Who, Long Since, Dined Every Saturday At The Sign O' The Lanthorne On Golden Hill In New York City.

Excerpt from D'ri and I: A Tale of Daring Deeds in the Second War With the British, Being the Memoirs TH IS is a tale of the adventurous and rugged pioneers, who, unconquered by other foes, were ever at war with the ancient wilderness, push ing the northern frontier of the white man far ther and farther to the west. Early in the last century they had striped the wild waste of timber with roadways from Lake Champlain to Lake Ontario, and spotted it with sown acres wide and fair; and still, as they swung their axes with the mighty vigor of great arms, the forest fell before them. In a long valley south of the St. Lawrence, sequestered by river, lake, and wilderness, they were slow to lose the simplicity, the dialect, and the poverty of their fathers.
