To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" In this order the procession moved through the principal streets of the village to the arsenal, near the mouth of the lake, when a national salute was fired by the artillery and answered by a detachment stationed upon the summit of Mount A'ision, with a brass nine- pounder, whose roar must have been heard at a great distance. This arrangement had a fine effect. The detachment were perfectly visible in all their move- ments, from the plain below, and had every appearance of a besieging party. ..." After the salute and a feu de joie from the light infantry, six cheers from the multitude made the welkin ring. The procession then moved forward to the Epis- copal church, upon entering which,^ in reversed order, they were greeted with ' Hail Columbia, happy land,' on the new and excellent organ just erected by Mr. Redstone of New York, accompanied by a choir of singers. An appropriate prayer was then made by the Rev. Mr. Potter, and was succeeded by a pertinent HISTORY OP COOPERSTOWN. 123 extempore address from Samuel Starkweather, Esq., followed by ' Strike the loud cymbals,' on the organ.
