註釋"The story of the Gansevoorts of Albany is a medium for the study of the social and cultural tradition of the Dutch patricians of the upper Hudson Valley. Spanning three centuries, the family's history began in the mid-1600's, when one Harmen Harmense van Gansevoort built a brewery, and included General Peter Gansevoort, the "hero of Fort Stanwix" of the American Revolution, and novelist Herman Melville. It ended in 1918 with the death of patrician Catherine Gansevoort Lansing in her delapidated family home, which was stuffed from cellar to attic with relics of her vanished Albany ancestors." -- Cf.
