Excerpt from Spaulding's History of Crown Point, N. Y: From 1800 to 1874 It is well authenticated in history that the lands in the most favorable localities along the shores of Lake Cham plain, was cleared and settled by the French in the days of the French wars, and perhaps prior to that date and of course some of the lands on the immediate shores of the lake in Crown Point, were cleared and settled at the same time. But little was known of the interior of Crown Point, particularly the west part of the town, un til about the year 1800, except reports from hunters and trappers, who roamed the forest in quest of wild game, of which the country then abounded. They reported there was a tract of beautiful settling land in Crown Point about ten miles square embracing Putnam's Creek and its tributaries within its limits, and that this tract of land was timbered with beautiful hard wood and well watered with never failing springs of the purest water; together with the natural advantages of the country, made it a very inviting spot for young men of that day, of strong nerve and will, who felt disposed to grapple with the old primeval forest. They also reported that immediately west and joining this tract of land were the fine old hills and mountain peaks of the Adirondaks sit uated on the head-waters of the Hudson River, of which I will speak of more fully hereafter.
