**sEd^Coiwikr I have just the Onondogft* Stiindafi, of n recent date, containing a sketch of the early history of Onondaga Valley and of the city of Syracuse in particular As regards the houses and persona m the \ illage T have nothing to say ; hut as regards othiy and prominent events, there is Bearcely a word of truth Why was such a thing published ! I was one of the bearers at Gen Danforth’s funeral—ho was buried m the new buiying ground, near Tohn Adams You must remember thisGeo Sullivan was never in Onondaga Hollow He was no neaier than the east bank of Cayuga Lake The only troops in the Revolution that invaded Onondaga was Van Sehaick’a Regiment, which came by the way of Rome and Oneida Lake The Indians were taken by surprise, and made a feeble resistance About twelve men were killed, and about thirty taken prisoners The story m regard to Webster is a gross libel upon his cliaraeter. The incident of liia escaping death by means of drinking wine, Webster related tome in his lifetime 'There was a road on the east side of the bank from the Hollow to Salina from the early settlement of the county Why do not such men as Alvordt Gordon Needham, and others, contradict such stuff I am vexed to see it in print and uncontradicted So much for story-telling.Truly yours, *
