Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Camden, N. J If one were to seek the genesis of Camden he would not find it in the visit of the sturdy Dutchman, DeVries, nor of any explorer who followed, nor in the voyages of those in search of a land where they might increase their wordly possessions, but rather would he find it in souls devoted to principle, and primed with courage never to yield, in a quiet contest for right and equality, which knew no submission. In one of his stories Robert Louis Stevenson tells of a rider issuing from a forest upon the high road and gazing upon it as it runs down hill before him, joining road after road, skirting the sea and passing through city after city to the farthest end of Europe. May we not picture some such person, some one denied that which he conceived to be right and determined to seek a refuge elsewhere, looking out upon the high road, and meditating upon where it will lead him.
