Bantam before these.
Back in the last century and during
the first quarter of the present century
slaves were common in that part of
New York state and the adjacent region
of Hew Jersey. These slaves were treat
ed BQ better by their old Dutch masters
than were their fellow bondsman in the
south. They wen worked long red
bard, and the lash was not spared. Con
sequently runaway slaves were many.
These runaways invariably sought the
fastnesses of the unrounding moreiteina
It is a very difficult thing to make
one’s way up and among the Ramapo
mountains even st this day. and it was
almost an imposd bility in the slavery
days. As a result, when a negro once
succeeded in hiding there he was as safe
from recapture as if he had gone to
Canada, although he might be within
sight and sound of his master’s home.
Scores of runaways in time peopled the
inaccessible hills, and in the spots
where they threw up their first shelter
ing huts of bark or fallen trees or found
refuge in caves their descendants dwell
today.
The woods had their Indian d wallers
already, and the two races mingled.
These are the strange people who are
seen now snd then in the little villages
along the Erie railway in Rockland and*
the adjoining towns of Bergen and
Orange counties, and whose homes are
far back in the hills. A characteristic
of these people is that the names of the
old Dutch families in which the orig
inal bleaks were slaves have been re
tained bv them, neneratian aftev rener
ation. The most munenme family of
the race goes by the name of De Groat,
but there are De Freeses, Van Hoevens
and many other Des and Vans.
In the summer time yon might climb
and clamber and stumble up the steep
sides and over the rocky summits of the
Ramapo mountains all day and not see
a solitary sign of a habitation, although
there would be many on all sides of
you. They are se deftly tucked in
among the rocksand hidden by the trees
and foliage that only one acquainted
with the ways of the mountaineers could
find them. In the fall, when the trees
are bare, the huts stand revealed to any
who may pass that way, and such are
few, for although there is no better
ruffed grouse shooting anywhere than
in these mountain fastnesses the weary
climbing necessary to get to the haunts
of these birds is more than the avenge
sportsman cares to undergo.
There is no ground that might grow
anything about any of these huts; not a
chicken or a fowl of any kind; not
even a pig. Bn. there are dogs without
limit—mongrel, wolfish looking dogs,
such as might haqg about Indian camps
—and always from one to half a dosea
half naked, eerie, elfish looking chil
dren, who, at sight or sound of a stran
ger, scamper to cover in the hut, in the
brush or among the rocks, disappearing
as completely as a startled brood of
young quail
How do these people subsist? They
are the best hunters and fishermen in
the land, and game and trout are abun
dant all about them. They hunt and
snare grouse and rabbits and catch trout
forth. market during the season. The
women and children pick berries. For
the products of the forest, streams and
berry patches these people obtain store
goods at the villages, both the luxuries
and the necessaries—the latter being
chiefly whisky and tobacco, the former
flour, meal and cheap dress goods. Far
their own home providing the possum
and the coon are plentiful at their very
doors, and the chicken coops of the out
lying farms and villages are not entire
ly inaocessibia. Now and then a De
Groat or Van Somebody-or-other will
hire out to do work by tb© day, but be
is looked upon by his fellow mountain
eers aa a degenerate. Some of the female
children grow to be extremely handsome
and shapely young women, but It is
we that there are any marriages among
these people outside of their own race.
