Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Town of Flushing: Long Island, New York
The plan pursued by the author of the following pages has been, to tell the story of our town as simply and brie?y as possible, avoiding the introduction of long quotations from old documents, and in foot notes referring the reader to the authority for every statement. Only so much of the history of the Province has been introduced as was deemed necessary to explain events in the town. Without this occasional broader vision, our history would in many places be but a series of disconnected and meaningless entries.
