The essays provide biographical sketches of various family members, the arrival of the first settlers from Holland, and details of various family homes and haunts. Several pages are devoted to Pieter Schuyler (1657-1724), the first mayor of the City of Albany. The volume is enhanced with half-tone photographs, wood cut illustrations and cartoons, and numerous tipped-in original manuscripts. Several of these illustrations depict buildings buildings and locales no longer extant in Albany. The cartoons were mostly drawn by syndicated editorial cartoonist, Jerry Costello.
