Epitaphs in Saratoga County, New York

• By Cornelius Emerson Durkee (1837-1933)
• Five volumes, published at Saratoga Springs, N.Y., 1876-1881.
• Durkee said of this work: " From the nature of the American marble, used almost exclusively in this locality, it is certain that in one hundred years a large proportion of the stones from which these inscriptions have been taken will have yielded to the severity of the weather, and be no longer decipherable."
