Hamilton See also:Wright Mabie has written: " There is probably no other locality in See also:America, taking into See also:account See also:history, tradition, the old church, the manor-house and the mill, which so entirely conserves the See also:form and spirit of Dutch See also:civilization in the New See also:World."
