Boscobel will not be open to the public this summer. There is much to be done to bring this dream to f'ulfillment, though It is even now a delight to see.

William F. Bailey, when 21 years of age, was among thca e who had en- listed in the 38th Infantry Regiment. During the organization of the Brigade, he was selected for larger duty. The women of the County made it poasible forhim to wear a uniform suitable for his new rank. After the first Battle of Bull Run, he was comiasioned to enlist a Company from Putnam County and near-by areas. Hon. Chauncey Weeks, grandfather of our recently deceased neighbor Rober t Weeks, became their pa tror in enllstmnts and in financial help. He had re- C presented our County on two different periods in om State Assembly, The volunteers in a reciaU on designated themselves "WEEK'S mw$P later, "Chauncey Weeks was a member of the mounted Home Ciuards who rode around Putnam County, fluahing out deserters," This picture of our Aasemblpnn ma taken about the ti- of thia Companyts enlistmnta. Enlistments moved slowly. By February, 40 voluntaers from Putnam County were drilling at Sing. Sing. To fill out a full company,volunteera from Peekakill, White Plains and Rockland County were consolidated with the weekfs Guards William Bailel was chosen Captain. The proposed Regiments. were also consolidated. The two companiea of the Third Regiment, Eagle Brigade were merged into the 95th Infantry Regiment, The above Company became Compang K. In mrch, their Regiment under Col. George He Riddle left for the front, They were under General Wadsworthfs aommand in tha Army of Northern Virginia and were stationed at Aqua Creek. General McClellan waa aoon to give up his march or Riohmond. General Pope was called to Washington from the West. The three armies in Weatern Virginia were hastily grouped under Pope. The95th Regiment was brought into thie larger army a few days before the Second Battle of Bull Run. With Macellan in retreat, be sent Stuartfs Cavalry and Jacksonfa Army on a long mrch to the west, then a lipped behind Pope and destroyed hia inauff icient supplies, Pope fa promised re inforcements did not arrive in time. While Pope looked for Jackson, Longstreet got into position to strike. The first dayts battle was favorable to Pope, But the next day, Ihngstreet unexpeotedly appeared and Pope was severly beaten. The 95th Regiment bad more than 100 oaaualtiea, moatly miaslng. During tb next three major battles, Antietan, Fredericksburg and Chanoelloraville, the 95th was present but not heavily engaged, Something is missing here. When the 96th was before Gettysburg only a fourth of their original strength was present. They were heavily engaged on the flyst day and 10st nearly half their man. General Reynolds, leader of their corps, WaB killed. Then Colonel Biddle Was wounded. General Warren, Chief Engineer, of the Army, became temporary Commnder of the Firat Coma, ~e~de, Hanooak and Warren laid out the line of battle and the 95th found itself Ninety-fifth Regiment - Company K 2. in a position on the fish hook of C'ulp's Hill on the Annytr right. After Qettysburg, the 95th was part of the Arapr that followed Lee into Virginia. In October, there was a general rhake-up of the AmOf the Potomac in preparation for the next cmp.I@. Both Col. Biddle and Lt. Col. Post of the 95th Regiment rerigned their commpnds. They were succebded, fint by Col. Bdnrrd we, and later by Col. James Creney. In the euapaigm .galast; Rl6tUaCmd, Col. Creney was twice wounded, but carrled on to mrter out the Regiment. During the winter and rprhg depleted regimentr were en- larged. The 95th received more new recruits than there wem Vet- erans. In May, General QmtIn commmd of the Axq of the PotoMC opened the last eleven month18 cuapalga rgalnrt Lee. Warr8a led the Fifth Corps. Most service tuea from Putram County were under Warren, Including the 95th. In the Battles of the Wilderness and of SpotBYlvmi8, the 95th lost more heavily than in any ocher er~grgement. Their Division Cotmander Wadsworth war killed. 'Phi8 was follOmrd by loaees at Petersburg, Welden Road and Popular Sprhgs. Whan the final engagement began at Five Forkr, only 94 men were In action from the 95th. Of thetse only 22 were in remice nhen Appomattox was reached. How m~nyof there 22 leem were frola the Original enlistment? How maay were from Rltaua Coanty? When the 95th was mustered out, the nen enlirteer or the veterans who had reenlisted in Company K were trmsferred to another Regiment. LAKE MAHOPAC The Indian Village of Pussapanum lay a short distance south- east of Lake Mahcperc. The largest island In the Lake was the Is- diants Council Area. Ameng the earllest roads laid out were those that run to and from this Indian Village. Aa~ng the blanks in our early County history is when md how theae Indiaas were dispoesessed. Tradition spy8 that when they refused te be moved, they retired to their Council Island. This was set afire by the whites and *en the Indians swam for shore, they were shot dew like ducks. With- the memory of the event, these poetic wards caught the scene: "The calm amd the silence of safety is here, Where once the wild yell 8f the savage arose; Where, fierce as the tempest, wlth heart void of fear, With the shriek and the war-wh8.p he rushed on hi8 faesn, During the Revdutianarg War, the island8 lad the 1mUs 8ur- mundiag the Lake were seized by the State and sold to those les- sees of Celonel Roger Morrison and to other patriats who were able to cover their bids. The next 50 years were somewhat conventional in development. BJr 1830 people from New York had begum to sail or steam up the Hudson River to Peekskill and then tee the daily stage across to the lake to enjoy the water and the caol wights re near the City. By 1834 Stephen Monk saw the possiblilities of developlag this resource. Later Dr.Lewis Gregory beught out Monk's Interests. As popularity increased, stage service from Peekskill In season was doubled. hxring the close of the Mexican War, the Harlem Railroad had reached Croton Falls, and the bus nrwaers far the Lake PIrhopac ho- tels liaed up passengers at the railroad station. These four herre strges raced each other to their destination8 ud were a daily source Of conversatien, excitement and wager. In the War years, an attractive "PIrhopac Lake Waltzn was writ- ten, which music was wafted ever the Lake by the Amateur Cornet Club. A picture of the Dean House at that time showed the rob build- ing around which the present wIngs were constructed. (iregeq-lo seciond hotel was built In 1853. For a qarrter oon- tury, it was the most popular Hotel cn the Lake. It was de8troyed by fire a 1878. The accompanying picture Indicates its papularity. Amng other hotels then viebag far gmwiag pepularity -8 the old Thompson House. When it burned,-the present Hotel Wopac -8 built. The Baldwin Hotel; the Carpenter House, mew the Wendelir Inn; and the Old WeHouse were well-known aad nuccessful. During the Civil War and Immediately followimg the War, We Mrkopac reached its relative peak of renawn. A local paper gives this expectatioa of the 1864 seasan: "The searen at this fashionable sumer resart has fairly conmemced ud judging flgm appearances and the statements ef these who 8houlU kn8w, the season wlll be cne of the best md moat brilliant ever witnessed there.
