    CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK, AS SEEN FROM THE AIR IN 1938. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE By HERBERT B. NICHOLS Published Bv, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEW ROCHELLE/ NEW YORK 1938 COPYRIGHT 1938 BY HERBERT B. NICHOLS FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE LITTLE PRINT, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig­ nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care­ fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ­ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle.

NARO ----------- PELHAM MANOR: The Forgotten Battle of the Revolution Near Mount Vernon, New York Published by THE BICENTENNIAL COMMITTEE OF THE TOWN OF PELHAM, NEW YORK PELHAM MANOR: The Forgotten Battle of the Revolution Near Mount Vernon, New York by Dr. Alfred M. Franko Former City Historian of Mount Vernon, New York Revised 1966 The Bicentennial Committee of the Town of Pelham, New York gratefully acknowledges the generosity of Dr. Franko who wrote in his letter of authorization for republi­ cation of this booklet: “I am very glad that your committee is going to com­ memorate the Battle. It sure did save the Revolution! . The facts then will get out to more and more people and the residents of Pelham can justifiably feel proud of what the community contributed to our nation. I wanted the truth to get out as widely as possible. Let folks quote it or copy it — who cares as long as the truth got out.” #■ * # Republished October, 1975 To my wife, RUTH HINSPETER FRANKO The statue is that of John Russell who fought in the Battle of Pelham Manor. It is on the monument at Trenton and is one of the rare statues of a Revolutionary soldier made from real life. Introduction Perhaps it was the man’s obscurity or painful reticence. Maybe he truly believed that great deeds speak for themselves without need of dramatization by publicists skilled in the arts of creating an “image.” Whatever the reason, the Battle of Pelham, one of the more important engagements of the Revolution, “might without flippancy be described as lost, strayed, or stolen from the pages of history.” The latter characterization is from the pen of Lynn Montross, historian of the U.
