Schenectady County Historical Society
Schenectady County Historical Society Newsletter Vol. 63, No. 1, Winter 2019 | 518.374.0263 | schenectadyhistorical.org A Dotted Landscape: Piecing Together the History of Schenectady County's Forgotten Farms By Julia Walsh Schenectady County is in a state of revival. New events, businesses, initiatives and people have been coming to the city and surrounding communities to make their mark on one of the oldest settlements in New York State. As a native to the area, I see two sides to this; it is great to see a new swing of development, making Schenectady attractive to those who don’t already call it home. However, as developers seem to be changing the cityscape ever faster, it is interesting to note where nature has taken its course. As part of my 2018 internship with the SCHS, I explored several locations in rural Schenectady County abandoned by their former residents. For most of its history, Schenectady County’s economy was primarily agricultural. Farms dotted the landscape from Duanesburg to Princetown to Rotterdam. With the 20th century came a transition from farming to industry. Suburbs began to sprawl, bolstered by the growth of GE and the development of the automobile. The landscape and the culture of Schenectady County changed dramatically during the 1900s, as towns like Glenville became suburbs of city employees. Locals shifted their aspirations from self-sufficient or market-enterprising farms to a house in the GE plot and a college degree. The demographics of Duanesburg and Princetown changed as suburbanites moved in and farmers moved out. Today, many farms lay abandoned, their fields ever fallow. -
DER SPIEGEL Jahrgang 1995 Heft 34
Werbeseite Werbeseite MNO DAS DEUTSCHE NACHRICHTEN-MAGAZIN Hausmitteilung Betr.: Günter Grass ine Blechtrommel war nichts dagegen: Mit gewaltigen Paukenschlägen Ekündigte der Göttinger Steidl Verlag dieses „Opus magnum“ an – das jüngste Buch des Günter Grass, berühmtester unter den lebenden deut- schen Schriftstellern, dem der SPIEGEL nun zum viertenmal eine Titelge- schichte widmet. Zeitig und exklusiv sicherte sich der SPIEGEL die Rech- te für einen Vorabdruck etlicher Passagen aus dieser Neuheit, „Ein weites Feld“. Doch als es dann etwas zu lesen gab, kamen Chef- und Kulturre- daktion in Verlegenheit. Die zum Abdruck gedachte Romanstrecke er- wies sich als ein überaus sperriger Kurs durch deutsche Geschichte, und selbst dem besonders bemühten, literarisch bewander- ten Leser mußte es da schwerfallen, zwi- schen den Bruchstücken eine Richtung zu erkennen. Da zudem der Verlag um die 4500 Exemplare des „Jahrhundertwerks“ (dpa) im Vorwege an die Fachwelt verteil- te, war auch von der Exklusivität nicht viel übriggeblieben. Gute Gründe also, auf den Teilabdruck zu verzichten, doch bei den Betroffenen hörte es sich anders an. Rudolf Augstein, wurde Grass-Titel (1963) kolportiert, habe sein Veto eingelegt, und zwar auch deshalb, so hieß es allen Ernstes, weil er mit Grass in Fragen der deutschen Vereinigungspolitik über Kreuz sei. Als der SPIEGEL den Vorabdruck des „Weiten Feldes“ ablehnte, hatte Augstein gerade mal ein Viertel davon überflogen, und die Vorstellung, politischer Dissens trübe bei ihm das literarische Urteil, ist nun wohl allzu naiv. Augstein hatte schon 1966 das Anti-Brecht-Stück von Grass „Die Plebejer proben den Aufstand“ im SPIEGEL rezensiert. Dennoch war es vom Steidl Verlag werbetechnisch nicht ungeschickt zu insinu- ieren, der neue Grass sei dem SPIEGEL politisch zu suspekt, gar zu brisant. -

TESTIMONY AT THE PUBLIC HEARING On March 14, 1978, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on this area which is now proposed as an Historic District (Item No. 14). Three persons spoke in favor of the proposed designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. -1 FTB-HD Introduction The Fre.unces Tavern Block Historic District, bounded by Fearl, Broad, and Water Streets, and Coenties Slip, stands today as a vivid reminder of the early history and development of this section of Manhattan. Now a single block of low-rise commercial buildings dating from the 19th century--with the exception of the 18th-century Fraunces Tavern--it contrasts greatly with the modern office towers surrounding it. The block, which was created entirely on landfill, was the first extension of the Manhattan shoreline for commercial purposes, and its development involved some of New York's most prominent families. -
Dutch New York and the Salem Witch Trials: Some New Evidence
Dutch New York and the Salem Witch Trials: Some New Evidence EVAN HAEFELI ISCOVERING new documentation on such a well-studied event as the Salem witch trials is a rare thing. Even rarer Dis contemporary commentary on the trials. Jacob Melyen (i640-1706), a colonial merchant of Dutch origin living in Boston in the summer of 1692, has left us both in the eighty-eight letters copied into his letterbook now located at the American Antiquarian Society. Written mostly in Dutch and concerned pri- marily with his mercantile activity and events in New York, Melyen's letters add to our factual knowledge and illuminate just how troubled many colonists were about what was happening. To help imderstand the significance of the letters and explain why they even exist at all, this essay will outline their context through Melyen's life. It is an important story, joining together the histories of New Netherland, New England, and New York in ways colonial historians often overlook. While there is no evidence that Melyen had any direct involvement in the trials, his letters underscore the vital role New York politics played in this quin- tessentially New England drama.' Given the nature of Melyen's Eor their comments and suggestions on translation and interpretation the author would like to thank Willem Erijhoff, Charles Gehring, Mary Beth Norton, Caroline Sloat, Kevin Sweeney, David William Voorhees, and the anonymous reviewers for this journal. All errors and peculiarities, of course, remain his own. I. Jacob Melyen, Letterbook, 1691-1696, American Antiquarian Society.

The book series Palimpsest: Disorientation addresses the culture of war, civil war, violence and conflict. It aims to rethink the discourse of war and enmity, and in doing so it hopes to contribute to the undermining of the stereotyping frames, without which no war can be waged. The book series first term, Palimpsest, (the scraped-off parchment roll) suggests the layeredness, opacity and density of cultural objects and processes, and there- fore also their rich possibilities towards rereading and revision. -
Govert Loockermans (1617?-1671?) and His Relatives: How an Adolescent from Turnhout Worked His Way up in the New World
Govert Loockermans (1617?-1671?) and his relatives: How an adolescent from Turnhout worked his way up in the New World Willem Frijhoff (Erasmus University, Rotterdam / VU-University, Amsterdam) [Revised version, January 7, 2016] Summary This contribution aims at painting a picture of the person, the strategy and career of Govert Loockermans, paying special attention to the relationship he and his family in the New World had with Turnhout, and to the role played by the complex network of his relatives in the formation of New Netherland and of New York. He abandoned his Catholic Faith, and it appears that he soon ceased all contact with his blood relatives in Turnhout. He was not only a vigilant and cunning merchant, who amassed a large fortune for that time, but also a ruthless pioneer. We could see him as an icon of the current Wall Street capitalist. Either way, he was a man who helped determine and shape the age he lived in. His destiny continues to fascinate us. Govert Loockermans, the American hero from Turnhout, is the classic example of the ‘famous unknown’ gracing so many history books. He does not appear in any national dictionary, nor is he counted among the about thirty ‘famous Turnhoutenaren’ on the Turnhout tab of Wikipedia. Some of his deeds in the founding history of the country that later would become the United States are indeed very well known—even if not always flattering—but the history of his life in New Amsterdam, present day New York, has only been told a handful of times. -
