Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The New York State Tourist, Descriptive of the Scenery of the Mohawk Hudson Rivers: Falls, Lakes, Mountains, Springs, Rail Roads Canals
The sources of this river are. In 440 N. Latitude, in a series of lakes in Essex and Hamilton counties, in the mountainous and unfrequented region between Lake Champlain, the Mohawk River, St. Lawrence River, and Lake Ontario. The main or north branch, rises 30 miles N. W. From Crown Point; the Saconda ga, or west branch, rises 30 to 40 miles W. Of Lake George, and both branches unite on the eastern side of Saratoga county, in the town of Hadley, near the celebrated falls of that name. From thence, the course is southerly for a few miles, and then east, to Glen's Falls, beyond which it turns south, and pursues a course varying but little from N. To S. Nearly all the distance to the ocean, from which circumstance it derives its usual, but incorrect appellation of the North River.
