Excerpt from Old Steamboat Days on the Hudson River: Tales and Reminiscences of the Stirring Times That Followed the Introduction of Steam Navigation
The approaching dual celebration of the Ter-Centennial of Henry Hudson's discovery of the great river bearing his name, and the Centennial of Robert Fulton's successful application of steam to navigation on that same stream, would seem to warrant the appearance of this little volume. Aside from this fact, the subject is one that calls up many interesting reminiscences on topics that have not heretofore been grouped along the lines the author has endeavoured to follow.
Most of the old river men best calculated to furnish both information and advice in the preparation of a book such as this, have gone on their last long trip, while those who remain are comparatively few and widely scattered. There are possibly still many old steamboat men who have, stored away in ancient scrapbooks and records highly interesting data that should be brought together in some permanent form - and which the writer would be pleased to incorporate in some future edition - for the benefit of those who may seek to learn something more of the unfolding of one of the most glorious and important periods in the country's development.
