  • Episodes from a Hudson River Town Peak of the Catskills, Ulster County’S 4,200-Foot Slide Mountain, May Have Poked up out of the Frozen Terrain
    1 Prehistoric Times Our Landscape and First People The countryside along the Hudson River and throughout Greene County always has been a lure for settlers and speculators. Newcomers and longtime residents find the waterway, its tributaries, the Catskills, and our hills and valleys a primary reason for living and enjoying life here. New Baltimore and its surroundings were formed and massaged by the dynamic forces of nature, the result of ongoing geologic events over millions of years.1 The most prominent geographic features in the region came into being during what geologists called the Paleozoic era, nearly 550 million years ago. It was a time when continents collided and parted, causing upheavals that pushed vast land masses into hills and mountains and complementing lowlands. The Kalkberg, the spiny ridge running through New Baltimore, is named for one of the rock layers formed in ancient times. Immense seas covered much of New York and served as collect- ing pools for sediments that consolidated into today’s rock formations. The only animals around were simple forms of jellyfish, sponges, and arthropods with their characteristic jointed legs and exoskeletons, like grasshoppers and beetles. The next integral formation event happened 1.6 million years ago during the Pleistocene epoch when the Laurentide ice mass developed in Canada. This continental glacier grew unyieldingly, expanding south- ward and retreating several times, radically altering the landscape time and again as it traveled. Greene County was buried. Only the highest 5 © 2011 State University of New York Press, Albany 6 / Episodes from a Hudson River Town peak of the Catskills, Ulster County’s 4,200-foot Slide Mountain, may have poked up out of the frozen terrain.

After a brief three day journey he had reached the next stop in his travels: Albany. “Next to the town of New York,” he wrote, “…Albany is the principal town, or at least the most wealthy, in the province of New York.” 1 On his trip up the unpredictable Hudson River, Kalm had encountered the sheer cliffs, forests, and rolling, fertile plains that characterized the Hudson Valley before it leveled out on the cultivated and carefully tended fields of Albany. Canoes, yachts, and bateaux had passed him along the way, shuttling travelers and commodities between Albany and New York City. 2 Albany was just as busy as the Hudson River itself. Farmers planted peas, corn, and fruit trees in their fields and kept kitchen gardens for their families. Homes, built both in Dutch and English fashions, lined the broad streets and featured small benches on their front steps.

  • THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REVIEW a Journal of Regional Studies

This issue of The Hudson River Valley Review has been generously underwritten by the following: Peter Bienstock THE POUGHKEEpsIE GRAND HOTEL SHAWANGUNK VALLEY AND CONFERENCE CENTER …centrally located in the Historic Hudson Valley CONSERVANCY midway between NYC and Albany… Conservation • Preservation • Education www.pokgrand.com From the Editors While perhaps not at first apparent, the articles in this issue share a common theme—struggle. The Dutch colonists had to carve a home out of the New World wilderness. Two centuries later, descendants of the original inhabitants of a part of that world (which wasn’t entirely wilderness after all) tried to reclaim their sovereignty. Just fifty years after that, women undertook a march from New York City to Albany to assert their right to vote and gain adherents for their cause. Finally, while the rise and fall of Albany’s lumber district perhaps doesn’t readily seem to fit the theme, here, too, a struggle took place to establish and maintain a community on and around it. This latter essay underscores the essential role of technological innovation, a concept that leads us to a second underlying theme of this issue—progress. Sometimes welcome, sometimes not, for better or worse it is always unstoppable. Call for Essays The Hudson River Valley Review will consider essays on all aspects of the Hudson River Valley — its intellectual, political, economic, social, and cultural history, its prehistory, architecture, literature, art, and music — as well as essays on the ideas and ideologies of regionalism itself.

    SPRING 2018 THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REVIEW A Journal of Regional Studies The Hudson River Valley Institute at Marist College is supported by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This issue of The Hudson River Valley Review has been generously underwritten by the following: Peter Bienstock THE POUGHKEEpsIE GRAND HOTEL SHAWANGUNK VALLEY AND CONFERENCE CENTER …centrally located in the Historic Hudson Valley CONSERVANCY midway between NYC and Albany… Conservation • Preservation • Education www.pokgrand.com From the Editors Welcome to our bigger, and more expansive, issue of The Hudson River Valley Review. As well as the enlarged format, we’ve widened the publication’s scope to accommodate more than 300 years of history. And while the topics covered in this issue might be broadly familiar, each essay offers details that reveal refreshing new insight. While the origins and evolution of Pinkster may be debatable, its celebration in seventeenth-century New Netherland offered an opportunity for residents—including enslaved African Americans—to relax, enjoy and express themselves. In the years leading up to the American Revolution, a French emigrant farmer drafted chapters of a book describing his new home in Orange County. These now-classic recollections would not be published until after he had been accused of disloyalty and chased out of the country. His eventual return—and the story of his trials and travels—is the stuff of cinema. In the early nineteenth century, another globetrotting writer, Washington Irving, helped to mold the young nation with his fiction and biographies. But the story of Irving’s own life is best conveyed at Sunnyside, his Westchester home, now preserved as a museum.

  • Finding Your New Netherland Roots: a Two-Day Workshop on New Netherland Family History
    THE NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL & BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY, THE HOLLAND SOCIETY OF NEW YORK, AND THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY PRESENT: Finding Your New Netherland Roots: A Two-Day Workshop on New Netherland Family History 10 & 11 September 2009 The New York Public Library Fifth Avenue between 40th & 42nd Streets MEET OUR SPEAKERS: Christopher Brooks became fascinated with the early settlers of New York and New Jersey when he began researching his paternal grandmother’s Traphagen family in 1973. Utilizing a range of source material from American libraries, archives and his personal library, he has found that, with the maturing of the internet, much beneficial information relevant to New Netherland settlers is becoming available online to researchers through European archives. He lives in Kansas City, Missouri, where he works for a computer software company and is an avid researcher of New Netherland families and their European origins. Firth Haring Fabend, Ph. D., a historian specializing in the Dutch in New York and New Jersey, is the author of the prize-winning books A Dutch Family in the Middle Colonies, 1660-1800, and Zion on the Hudson: Dutch New York and New Jersey in the Age of Revivals, both published by Rutgers University Press, and many shorter works. Her most recent book is Land So Fair, a historical novel and family saga set in New York and New Jersey in the eighteenth century with flashbacks to New Netherland. Harry Macy Jr., edited The NYG&B Record from 1987 to 2006 and was also founding co-editor of The NYG&B Newsletter. The author of many articles on New Netherland families, he is a Fellow of The American Society of Genealogists, The Holland Society of New York, and The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society.
