There are more than 250 color and black and white images in this book. Many images are more than 100 years old. This is an expanded edition of the project which was initially prepared for Putnam County's Bicentennial 1812-2012 and which was placed in Putnam County's Time Capsule to be opened in 2062. The project included pictures which were at least 50 years old of various sites around Putnam County. Pictures of the same sites were taken in September 2012, to provide a photographic history of how Putnam County changed over the years and to document how Putnam County looked in 2012. It includes pictures from all six towns in Putnam County, including Carmel, Kent, Patterson, Philipstown, Putnam Valley and Southeast. That also includes the hamlets of Brewster, Cold Spring, Garrison, Lake Peekskill, Mahopac, Nelsonville and Putnam Lake. This book includes a written explanation with historical background for each picture. It also includes an additional 150 old images of places from around Putnam County which were not in the original project for the time capsule.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now and Then, Putnam County, New York is a revised edition of what was originally published in the Summer of 2014 as Then and Now Putnam County, New York. This book shows how various locations have changed in Putnam County over the years. Unlike most local history books, which are black and white, this one contains more than 250 images of which 140 are in color. The book is an expansion of a Then and Now project Dr. Maxwell did for the County's Bicentennial Celebration. For that project, Maxwell gathered old photographs and postcards, at least 50 years old or older, from each of the six towns in Putnam County. He looked specifically for key landmarks, such as town halls, fire departments, libraries and schools. He then took a picture, corresponding to the same landmark in September 2012. The project included both a Then and Now picture, with a simple title caption for each picture. It was placed in a flexible binder and put in the County's 2012 Bicentennial time capsule. It will be opened in June 2062. The original project featured a hand colored postcard of the old County Courthouse in the Town of Carmel, which was produced in Germany ca. 1910. That landmark is still a courthouse, so a picture of the same courthouse was taken in September 2012. Some landmarks have changed. The original wooden train station in Garrison is now Antipodean Book Store. For the Then picture, the project includes a black and white photograph from 1880-1899 when the building was used as the Garrison Train Station. The Now picture shows the building, now located across the street where it serves as the Antipodean Book Store. Dr. Maxwell received numerous requests for copies of the Then and Now project. That led him to compile this book with hopes of reducing the cost. In the process, he expanded on the project by including an historical explanation for each picture, along with other related photographs. He also included and additional two pages of old images for each town, all being more than 50 years old. Some of the images are more than 100 years old. This book contains information previously undiscovered for many years. One such fact is related to the Then picture for the Mahopac Fire Department. It shows a postcard, with some men from the Fire Department standing in front of their 1920 building. The book explains the building they were standing in front of was built to serve as the first Mahopac Central School. When the second Mahopac Central School was built across the street in 1918, the fire department secured the building. Some history books cite that second school building as the first. The book is dedicated to two former Putnam County Historians: Richard "Dick" Muscarella and Denis Castelli. Dr. Maxwell credits the Putnam County Historians Office, and historians Sallie Sypher, Reginald White, Catherine Wargas, Allan Warnacke, Donald MacDonald, Greg Amato and Betty Light Behr for help on the project. Dr. Maxwell has authored other books including "More than 500 Proven Ways to Reduce Expenses." He is an award-winning journalist recognized by the Associated Press. He served as a new correspondent and photographer for numerous newspapers including the United Press International (UPI). His photographs have appeared in newspapers all across America. Dr. Maxwell is the Town Historian for the Town of Patterson, New York. He is one of the founders of the Putnam County Cemetery Committee, of Habitat for Humanity of Putnam County and founder of The Living History Guild. He serves as pastor of Patterson Baptist Church, the oldest Baptist church in New York State, founded in 1751 and a President of the Hudson Valley Trust. Dr. Maxwell is available for book signings or to present a talk on the book for libraries, historical societies, schools or other organizations. His website is LarryMaxwell.com

Book excerpt: Putnam County, located fifty miles north of New York City and one hundred miles south of Albany, was an important site during the American Revolution and the Civil War. With the advent of the railroad, the county became an important hub for travelers heading to Boston and points north. By the mid-1800s, thousands of workers immigrated here to undertake the enormous task of building dams and reservoirs for New York Citys drinking water. A popular vacation destination of past decades, Putnam County today retains much of its original charm and rural flavor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Putnam County, New York: With Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men N the summer of 1885, the writer of this work was called from his home, at Southampton, L. I., to undertake the task of preparing a History of Putnam County, for the Publishers, W. W. And L. E. Preston. Upon arriving at the scene of his labors, the grandeur of the mountain scenery impressed his mind, with the contrast, so great, between the High Hills of the Highlands and the ocean shore, which had been within his View from earliest childhood. 'a more extended acquaint ance began to demonstrate, not only the difference in physi cal, but in historical matters, and he found increasing interest in searching for the sources of information upon which the historian must rely. The little knowledge that is left of that aboriginal race whose origin is unknown and whose end is oblivion; the coming of another race, and their conquest of the soil; the settlements they made and the towns they founded; with the endless diversity found in family history, and the change of events in political affairs; the history of that family, who were once lords and owners of all the land around; the banishment and the death in a foreign land of some of their number; all these soon became the subjects of search after knowledge, which became the more fascinat ing from its being laborious. If the author has succeeded in throwing any light upon the darkness which hides the past; it he has recorded information which otherwise would have been lost, and if the researches he has made shall ln duce others to follow the path he has marked out, he will feel that his labors have not been in vain. It only remains to express our sincere thanks for the valu able assistance received from those who have sympathized with the work, and especially to John De wvitt W'arner, Esq.

Book Synopsis Creating Sustainable Communities by : Rik Scarce
Download or read book Creating Sustainable Communities written by Rik Scarce and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2015-02-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores efforts aimed at creating sustainable communities throughout the Hudson River region. From Mount Marcy to Manhattan and beyond, the Hudson River region has become an incubator for rich and varied experiments in sustainable living. In this fascinating book,Rik Scarce showcases some of these efforts by telling the stories of dynamic individuals and organizations that are remaking the regions landscape through ecosystem stewardship, nurturing agricultural practices, and urban renewal for the twenty-first century, along with those promoting creative land-use planning, richly functioning communities, and green businesses. Together, their achievements point to the potential for other areas of the country to forge sustainable futures, and also remind us of the sobering realities and daunting challenges that await us as we attempt to remake our relationships with the planet and with each other. Powerful, massively inspiring stories from one of the loveliest spots on the planet: this is the new Hudson River School, and we all should be taking notes! Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future Unlike the bulk of environmental writing from the postWorld War II era, dominated as it is by dystopian works and pessimistic predictions, this book offers hope. We meet good people doing good things, and doing them effectively as models for others to imitate. Mark Hamilton Lytle, author of The Gentle Subversive: Rachel Carson, Silent Spring, and the Rise of the Environmental Movement
