  • R Canister Before
    r canister Vol. XXIV, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 9 1 SOUTHWEST HUNTER, WHERE ARE YOU? We know you're there because we've both been to your canister before. Rich helped put it up over two years ago, and I've been there and signed in twice. But when we try together to find your canister . Our first attempt was last spring. I promised to get Rich to the old logging railroad bed, and he promised to get me to the peak. It seemed fair enough. We hiked up the Spruceton Trail to Hunter. As we climbed, we encountered some snow, but it wasn't tough going. In fact, with the bright sun shining on the snow and the ice on the trees, it was still a winter wonderland. We stopped at Hunter for a quick lunch, then took the Hunter Mountain Trail to the Devil's Path and the rail bed. Dawn the bed we hiked until Rich indicated it was time to turn uphill. A piece of cake, we thought. On our climb, we found same footprints in the snow; someone else had reached the canister this way. But we knew better than to follow tracks. There was always the chance their owner was wrong. Well, to make a long story short, we floundered: through balsam, snow, back and forth, around. And no, we didn't find the canister. Not long after that attempt, there was a group hike to Southwest Hunter, and I went along. I carefully timed our trip down the railroad bed. I locked landmarks in my mind's eye as we turned and headed uphill.

  • Alton H. Blackington Photograph Collection Finding
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Alton H. Blackington Photograph Collection 1898-1943 15 boxes (4 linear ft.) Call no.: PH 061 Collection overview A native of Rockland, Maine, Alton H. "Blackie" Blackington (1893-1963) was a writer, photojournalist, and radio personality associated with New England "lore and legend." After returning from naval service in the First World War, Blackington joined the staff of the Boston Herald, covering a range of current events, but becoming well known for his human interest features on New England people and customs. He was successful enough by the mid-1920s to establish his own photo service, and although his work remained centered on New England and was based in Boston, he photographed and handled images from across the country. Capitalizing on the trove of New England stories he accumulated as a photojournalist, Blackington became a popular lecturer and from 1933-1953, a radio and later television host on the NBC network, Yankee Yarns, which yielded the books Yankee Yarns (1954) and More Yankee Yarns (1956). This collection of glass plate negatives was purchased by Robb Sagendorf of Yankee Publishing around the time of Blackington's death. Reflecting Blackington's photojournalistic interests, the collection covers a terrain stretching from news of public officials and civic events to local personalities, but the heart of the collection is the dozens of images of typically eccentric New England characters and human interest stories. Most of the images were taken by Blackington on 4x5" dry plate negatives, however many of the later images are made on flexible acetate stock and the collection includes several images by other (unidentified) photographers distributed by the Blackington News Service.

  • RAILROADS in Adams Township/Stanton Township. by the Early 20Th Century, Railroad Tracks Criss-Crossed the Peninsula
    RAILROADS in Adams Township/Stanton Township. By the early 20th century, railroad tracks criss-crossed the peninsula. Trains moved unrefined ore to the smelters, copper ingots to shipping docks, workers to their jobs, even children to school. Passenger cars transported people and products in and out of the area. In an area where roads were reduced to a morass of mud in the spring and blocked by drifts of snow in the winter, business depended on railroad trains to maintain contact with the rest of the world.

In a world with no internet and thus no social media, helping hikers connect with each other was a valued and needed service. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my decade or so of involvement with this club, it’s that the only thing hikers enjoy more than hiking is talking about hiking! Sharing war stories, trading bushwhack routes, and waxing euphoric about views… hikers, it would seem to me, love the replay with the like-minded as much as they love the adventure itself. But things have changed, and now that camaraderie is available in spades via social media. Leave No Trace is a national not-for-profit environmental organization on the frontlines of dealing with the good, the bad, and the ugly of managing the immense current upsurge in popularity of hiking and outdoor recreation.

  • 1 Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival 2020 Community Bake-Off
    Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival 2020 Community Bake-Off Playwrighting Event Mahicantuck, The River That Flows Both Ways Sarah Johnson, Ph.D., Public History Consultant Hello, HVSF Bake-Off Playwrights! Here are some history resources to check out as inspiration for your plays. This year’s theme is rich in metaphors, as rivers and deltas have been used in literature, song, and the visual arts to portray life’s movements and confluences. In past years, I have directed participants to their local historical societies, museums, and libraries, to look at collections. This year, I’ve added more digital links because of the Covid-19 quarantine, so you can get inspiration from home, and can think more broadly and symbolically about Mahicantuck. Have a great time writing and thinking about Hudson’s River, as a 19th century map referred to it, and if you have the opportunity, go have a look at the Hudson River and let it inspire you in person. I look forward to the stories you will tell! 1909 Hudson-Fulton stamp The 1909 Fulton-Hudson Celebration was organized to commemorate Hudson’s 1609 “discovery” of the river. The stamp shows his ship the Half Moon, two Native American canoes, and Robert Fulton’s 1807 Clermont steamship on the Hudson.
