GLENS FALLS, N.Y.
Altitude, 350 feet,
61 miles from Albany.
While making no pretensions as a summer resort, the splendid hotels
and restful homes of Glens Falls attract many visitors. Here near the
water level of the Hudson River is the cave where Cooper the Novelist,
laid the most thrilling scenes depicted in ''The Last of the Mohicans."
Here, the majestic waters of the Hudson River, in their descent over the
age-placed rocks, have been utilized to turn the wheels of manufacturing
plants.
About seven miles north of this city just off the Lake George road,
with marked direction to its location, is a marble shaft bearing this in
scription : "Erected by the graduates of Williams College in memory of
Col. Ephraim Williams who nobly fell in the conflict with the French and
Indians in 1755." On the Old Military Road, a short distance south of the
monument, is the rude slab which marks the place where he was buried.
