MEMORIAL MARKER AT HALFWAY BROOK, QUEENSBURY, N. Y.

THE HALF-WAY BROOK IN HISTORY.

By James Austin Holden, A. B.

In choosing as its first subject for a memorial marker " The Half-Way Brook," the New York State Historical Association has made a dignified and wise selection, for it may be truly said that no stream in the Adirondack Wilderness is more noted in history and the Annals of the Border, than this, whose appellation " Half- Way " comes from the fact that it was nearly equidistant from Fort Edward on the south and Fort William Henry on the north.
