What reading level is Address Delivered Before the Dutchess County Society in the City of New York book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The county included at first, or in 1683, when the State was divided into several counties, all south of Rolof Jansen Creek, in Columbia, (then Albany County) to Westchester County, and extending twenty miles in- land from Hudson River, and divided into three wards, North, South and Middle, and subsequently these were divided into precincts.
What is now Red Hook, Rhinebeck, and part of Hyde Park was designated as Rhinebeck Precinct, and this portion of the county contained in 1722, more tax- ab...le inhabitants than the remainder of the county.
Who first settled within the county it would be impos- sible to state with certainty. They were probably fami- lies who came from the east across the boundaries of Connecticut, and some from Ulster and Orange Coun- ties across the river. The Society of Friends or Quakers made early settlements from Long Island, giving their peaceful character and worth to the community. But the largest and most important settlements were made by refugees from the Palatinate of the Rhine in Germany, and it is to these people, and to the Friends, that Dutchess County owes its early start as one of the most important agricultural counties of our State, and it is from these people that many of us here to-night can trace our origin.
