Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pioneer History of the Champlain Valley: Being an Account of the Settlement of the Town of Willsborough by William Gilliland, Together With His Journal and Other Papers; And a Memoir, and Historical and Illustrative Notes
The mental and moral qualities of William Gil liland were of a remarkable character. Endowed with extraordinary energies and high intellectual powers, which were burnished and invigorated by culture, his enterprise, his sagacity and forecast, would have impressed a powerful in?uence where ever his capacities were exercised. His life was a romance basking in brilliancy and hope steeped in adversity - culminating in the highest prosperity, it closed its infinite vicissitudes in dark ness and gloom, and by a tragic end.
