For over two hundred years, the area has been a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts who come to hike, ski, fish, or capture its natural beauty on canvas or with cameras.

  • Chairman's Corner
    TRAILMARKER Newsletter of the Adirondack Mountain Club – Iroquois Chapter Established in 1972 September/October, 2020 Elm Lake, photo credit: Dave Pisaneschi Chairman’s Corner In referencing past chairman corners, I noted that there is one recurring theme: the need to have more volunteers to lead trips in addition to just me or members from other chapters. More trip leaders will offer a variety of excursions, such as bike, kayak, and hiking, suitable for all levels. The basis of the ADK is outdoor education, conservation, recreation. Sadly, the chapter is not carrying any weight concerning our trip schedule, which is disconcerting. Should you be an active outdoor enthusiast, please consider leading a trip for the Iroquois chapter. Please give me a ring to discuss further should you have any concerns or questions. Know that your help would be most appreciated. The directors from the First Baptist Church have given us permission to have meetings in the hall, providing we socially distant among ourselves. There will be the usual business meeting followed by a program. Snacks will be provided, along the line of individually wrapped bars or fruit, for example. As part of the business meeting, Wendy Sanders will present her idea for sponsoring a chapter challenge, with a vote to expend chapter funds should the concept be accepted. Her proposal is within the confines of this newsletter for your perusal. I encourage your attendance and participation in this matter. Trailmarker Page 2 Iroquois Chapter September/October, 2020 Chairman’s Corner continued: In thinking out loud, (with no immediate plan of action) and due to the Covid situation, I am toying with changing monthly meetings to bi-monthly meetings, especially if attendance is poor for the September meeting.

  • 1 John Van Tuyl
    John Van Tuyl - the Man1 and the Building of Fort Van Tyle W. Kent Van Tyle Contact: [email protected] 8/13/2020 John Van Tuyl – frontiersman, patriot, farmer and father John Van Tuyl, grandson of Isaac Van Tuyl and Sarah Lakerman of Staten Island, was born about 1740-45 in either Somerset or Morris County, NJ, likely the third of four brothers (Isaac, Arthur, John and Abraham). He grew up on the New Jersey frontier in the farming family of his father John Sr, likely in the Roxbury area of Morris County.2 As a youth he was undoubtedly influenced by the companionship of his older brother and avid frontiersman Isaac, about 5-7 years his senior, who served in 1757 during the French and Indian War in the Morris County, NJ militia3 and during the Revolution under Captain JR Dewitt of Mamakating in the Ulster County, NY militia.4 Likely an experienced hunter, after his marriage to Catherine (Terwilliger) Westfall in Sussex Co, NJ in 1761, Isaac supplemented his family income by collecting wolf bounties5, 49 pounds sterling for 14 wolves in 1768. John Sr, his sister Gertrude and her husband John Courson, followed the same migration path from Staten Island, through Somerest and Morris counties of New Jersey into the northwest New Jersey frontier with Gertrude and John Courson settling in Sussex Co, NJ in the 1760s.6 It is unclear why John Van Tuyl and his father John Sr elected to settle in Greenville, NY sometime in the decade prior to the Revolutionary War. The Neversink and Wallkill river valleys provided much more fertile farm land than the hilly, rocky soil of Greenville; however by the decade before the Revolutionary War, these more desirable areas had been settled and were being actively farmed.
