Sinopsis

Excerpt from Populus Rocestriensis: An Introduction to the Demography of Rochester, N. Y

Important and fascinating as the subject may be for the his torian, the student of population can have no practical interest in the first inhabitants of this region. Except for some two dozen men who have come to work in our midst with stranger tools than bows and arrows, the roving bands of Senecas and Hurons who wandered into this country from the Niagara Frontier, add littlesignificance to our modern population. Rochester, like so many of the middle west cities had its roots in New England. For the first twenty years of its history it was a Massachusetts and a Vermont colony. And proud as we may one day become of the many Euro pean bloods running in our veins, Rochester will never rue the day, that gave it the fibre of the Puritan and made the soul of an ancient past the essence of its noblest future.
