A Guide to Monuments and Markers in Dutchess County, New York: A Preliminary Inventory One of the first assignments I was given as Historian for Dutchess County came in 19 I as a directive from Edmund J. Winslow, enior Historian in the Division of Hi torical and Anthropological Services of the New York State Education Department. My task was to work with municipal historians in my county to inventory existing State Education markers. In the 1930 s these blue and gold cast Acknowledgements: iron markers sprang up like mushroom along the by-ways and back roads of the Barbara Reich, Dutchess County Landmarks Association, state. They served for a generation as the definittve statement of what wa of an and David Greenwood, historical importance in many municipalities despite the fact that much of the Dewey Owens, information they contain is unverified folklore accepted at face value from local tephanie Mauri, hi tory buffs.

    FLYSCH AND MOLASSE OF THE CLASSICAL TACONIC AND ACADIAN OROGENIES: MODELS FOR SUBSURFACE RESERVOIR SETTINGS GERALD M. FRIEDMAN Brooklyn College and Graduate School of the City University of NY, Brooklyn, NY 11210 and Northeastern Science Foundation affiliated with Brooklyn College, CUNY, P.O. Box 746, Troy, NY 12181 ABSTRACT This field trip will examine classical sections of the Appalachians including Cambro-Ordovician basin-margin and basin-slope facies (flysch) of the Taconics and braided and meandering stteam deposits (molasse) of the Catskills. The deep­ water settings are part of the Taconic sequence. These rocks include massive sandstones of excellent reservoir quality that serve as models for oil and gas exploration. With their feet, participants may straddle the classical Logan's (or Emmon 's) line thrust plane. The stream deposits are :Middle to Upper Devonian rocks of the Catskill Mountains which resulted from the Acadian Orogeny, where the world's oldest and largest freshwater clams can be found in the world's oldest back-swamp fluvial facies. These fluvial deposits make excellent models for comparable subsurface reservoir settings. INTRODUCTION This trip will be in two parts: (1) a field study of deep-water facies (flysch) of the Taconics, and (2) a field study of braided- and meandering-stream deposits (molasse) of the Catskills. The rocks of the Taconics have been debated for more than 150 years and need to be explained in detail before the field stops make sense to the uninitiated. Therefore several pages of background on these deposits precede the itinera.ry. The Catskills, however, do not need this kind of orientation, hence after the Taconics (flysch) itinerary, the field stops for the Catskills follow immediately without an insertion of background informa­ tion.

    Introduction

    Introduction This is the fourteenth edition of Profiles of New York State—Facts, Figures & Statistics for 2,570 Populated Places in New York. As with the other titles in our State Profiles series, it was built with content from Grey House Publishing’s award-winning Profiles of America—a 4-volume compilation of data on more than 43,000 places in the United States. We have included the New York chapter from Profiles of America, and added several new chapters of demographic information and ranking sections, so that Profiles of New York State is the most comprehensive portrait of the state of New York ever published. Profiles of New York State provides data on all populated communities and counties in the state of New York for which the US Census provides individual statistics. This edition also includes profiles of 444 unincorporated places and neighborhoods (i.e. Flushing, Queens) based on US Census data by zip code. This premier reference work includes five major sections that cover everything from Education to Ethnic Backgrounds to Climate. All sections include Comparative Statistics or Rankings. A section called About New York at the front of the book includes detailed narrative and colorful photos and maps. Here is an overview of each section: 1. About New York This 4-color section gives the researcher a real sense of the state and its history. It includes a Photo Gallery, and comprehensive sections on New York’s Government, Timeline of New York History, Land and Natural Resources, New York State Energy Profile and Demographic Maps. These 42 pages, with the help of photos, maps and charts, anchor the researcher to the state, both physically and politically.

Ewald was in a Hessian Jager unit involved in the ambush of Nimham and his men in 1778. His sketch was accompanied by a vivid description of the Stockbridge fighters in his journal: “Their costume was a shirt of coarse linen down to the knees, long trousers also of linen down to the feet, on which they wore shoes of deerskin, and the head was covered with a hat made of bast. Their weapons were a rifle or a musket, a quiver with some twenty arrows, and a short battle-axe which they know how to throw very skillfully. Through the nose and in the ears they wore rings, and on their heads only the hair of the crown remained standing in a circle the size of a dollar-piece, the remainder being shaved off bare. They pull out with pincers all the hairs of the beard, as well as those on all other parts of the body.” (Image Credit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockbridge_Militia) Portrait of Landlord Beverly Robinson, landlord of approximately 60,000 acres in Putnam County.

This battle was fought on August 16, 1777, in a British effort to capture American storehouses in Bennington to restock their depleting provisions. Baum had entrenched his men at the bridge across the Walloomsac River, Dragoon Redoubt, and Tory Fort, which Stark successfully attacked. Colonel Warner's Vermont militia arrived in time to assist Stark's reconstituted force in repelling Breymann's relief column of some 600 men. The British forces had underestimated the strength of their enemy and failed to get the supplies they had sought, weakening General John Burgoyne's army at Saratoga. Baum and over 200 men died and 700 men surrendered. The Americans lost 30 killed and forty wounded The Site: Hessian Hill offers picturesque views and interpretative signs about the battle. Directions: Take Route 7 east to Route 22, then take Route 22 north to Route 67.
