Schenectady County, New York: Its History to the Close of the Nineteenth Century - Austin A. Yates

Historian and Editor-in-Chief Austin A. Yates, Counsellor-at-Law

Late district attorney and county judge of Schenectady County; Attorney to the State Insurance Department; Member of Assembly; Major in the volunteer forces of the United States during the War of the Rebellion and Spanish-American War.

Men who their duties know;
But know their rights, and knowing, dare maintain,
Prevent the long-aimed blow,
And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain;
These constitute a state.
