D. 560 to 1890-1330 Years Meanwhile the news of the disaster had reached this fort, and its occupants made all possible preparations to evacuate early in the morning and go down the river for safety, and when in the morning they had all em barked and just about to push off, Mrs. Owen, the mother of Phineas, declared she must go back to the fort. They all remonstrated, and asked her why she must go back. She said she did not know why she must, but her mind was so wrought upon that she must go, and she went; and as she opened the door to go in on one side of the fort, her son Phineas opened the door on the opposite side. She beckoned him to hasten. And they were soon on their wav down the river. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Newton Reed's Early History of Amenia describes this pleasant place and those people who were attracted to its verdant hills, coursing streams and rich farmland during the mid-1700's. Throughout Dutchess County and nearby Connecticut, and within his beloved Oblong Valley, Reed was highly regarded as historian and naturalist, writer and lecturer. "Impressions of Amenia" includes articles about Amenia's past, as well as several stories unearthed by Dewey Barry for our enjoyment and for posterity. The Great Van Amburgh Circus, Lizzie's Rise from the Ghetto, and a Utopian Community with a Cultic Leader are a few of these gems. (E.C.S. - 2012)
The residents of Harlem Valley have shaped both the history and culture of our nation with bravery and integrity. Quakers in the Harlem Valley stood firm against slavery, and the Amenia Conference, organized by Joel Spingarn, strengthened the NAACP. The Harlem Valley served as a transportation center, linking New England to the west, and was also a major supplier of iron ore in the eighteenth century. Well known for their educational endeavors, the residents of Harlem Valley established one of the oldest libraries in the state of New York. The images in this collection were made available through the efforts of many groups in the Harlem Valley area, including the historical societies of North East, Little Nine Partners, Amenia, Dover, Dutchess County, and Pawling and Quaker Hill. Join Joyce Ghee and Joan Spence for a remarkable trip down memory lane to the wonders of the Harlem Valley. This historic collection of images will serve as a valuable tool in discovering and understanding the area's history as well as appreciating its beauty. Harlem Valley Pathways is sure to be enjoyed for generations to come.
Residents of Beacon, New York, are justifiably proud of a community that is rich in history and promise. In this exquisite collection of images, local historians Robert J. Murphy and Denise Doring VanBuren uncover the fascinating past of Beacon and the people who have called it home. The community's earliest permanent European settler was Madam Catheryna Rombout Brett, whose c. 1709 home is preserved within the city as the the oldest building in Dutchess County. Within the vicinity of the Madam Brett Homestead, two distinct villages grew: Matteawan, a manufacturing community at the foot of the mountain, and Fishkill Landing, a Hudson River port. Both villages prospered and eventually merged in 1913. Through the decades, the community was hailed as a model of a successful manufacturing center and became the location for several significant Hudson River estates. It played host to one of the longestrunning ferries in American history and introduced one of the first electric streetcar systems in the Hudson River Valley. Perhaps its most well-known feature was the Mount Beacon Incline Railway, a feat of engineering documented as the world's steepest incline railroad.
