Excerpt from Chronicles of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow Strangers will come to see these places that Irving has written about and they Will not find them. They might have been cared for and preserved, and they would have paid the interest on all it would cost to keep them from destruction. That was a good, honest plea, and as useless as it was earnest. The course-o'-things still browses in our historic field, and is no monster after all, but just the world's ox, doing the world's work. He has been always browsing, and the clover has always been springing again at his heels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
