	THE BLOODIED MOHAWK
	THE STORY OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION IN THE WORDS OF FORT PLANK'S DEFENDERS AND OTHER MOHAWK VALLEY PARTISANS

My Fellow Friends, Historians and Genealogists:

I thank you on behalf of the Partisans of the Mohawk Valley for purchasing my tome: The Bloodied Mohawk. I hope you have found it useful and enlightening. Unfortunately, as with all large works of transcription, I have found errors in my work. Fortunately none of these errors effect the spirit or veracity of the text. Yet they irritate my sense of perfection and it is hoped that at sometime that this tome will be reprinted and at that time all of the corrections will be published. I must thus ask that you please make the following corrections [designated in bold underlined italics] to your texts:

Paragraph three, sentence two on page 156 should read . . .
