Antiquities of Long Island by Gabriel Furman (1874). This item is a classic compendium of the colonial history of Long Island (including Suffolk County) -- its Dutch Reformed, Puritan, Anglican religious traditions; its time as a part of Connecticut; dealings with Native Americans; a little genealogy -- it's all here. While Long Island is a melting pot today, this volume reveals how long the history of cultures meeting and mixing on Long Island has been a way of life. 274 pages, in PDF format, download now for $4.25.
Southold Package
from various sources.
As the name implies, this offering is a collection of various Suffolk
County historical items relating to Southold. It came to us a bit by
surprise – we had been looking on eBay for New York State historical
material, and the “Summer of History” booklet was up for auction. We
won, and, expecting only the booklet, we scarcely looked at the item
when it arrived. When we did finally get ready to queue it up for
production, we discovered that we now had the following items to offer:
1. 2. ==A flier for an exhibition of antiques back in 1915, celebrating the town’s 275th anniversary. 3. ==A four page brochure from the Southold Historical Society and Museum dating from sometime after 1966. Principally it’s an introduction to the museum. 4. ==An undated one page typescript listing the births of one Gilbert Case (born 1748), his wife Susanna (born 1754), and their several children (born 1754 through 1794). Noted on the typescript is that it was “Recorded here Feb 21st, 1829, A very blustering day.” We don’t know the source or the reliability of the information, but it was evidently of importance to someone researching the Case family. 5. ==The four page program of “The Pageant of Southold, L.I.” written and directed by May Marshall Addy, to be presented Saturday afternoon, July 24, 1915, at “Creekside”. 6. ==A large map of Southold, including Fisher’s Island, clearly drawn by hand, dated 1965. We don’t know the source or the person who mapped it, but it is described as “Section 3” suggesting that it is a map of a portion of a larger area – perhaps Suffolk County? The map was too large for our largest scanner, so it appears here as two separate pages. We think that if you are interested in the North Shore of Long Island and its history, that you will find this collection of what we might call ephemera relating to the history of Suffolk County’s moth northeastern Township to be an interesting addition to your collection. It is certainly a tribute to the local historians who have obviously spent many, many years compiling the history of Southold and we feel fortunate to be able to offer as varied a collection to you instead of simply just the “Summer of History” program we had originally intended. Download it now, in PDF format, a total of 35 pages (comprising six different articles) for $5.00.
