Neversink, Sullivan County, NY -- "Old Neversink"

 

 

Neversink excerpts from Quinlan's History of Sullivan County

 

James Eldridge Quinlan published his History of Sullivan County in 1873.  Despite its style -- very typical of the times -- and the fact that original copies are very rare, it has retained its position as "the" authoritative history book about Sullivan County.  

The Fallsburg Printing Company reprinted Quinlan in 1965, sold out quickly, reprinted again in 1966, and again sold out.  In 1975 they printed a Bicentennial Edition of 1005 copies.  Even this last batch of reprints is achieving the status of scarcity today.  

At some point in the future, Between the Lakes Group will probably republish the full Quinlan, all 700++ pages, and undertake to re-index it (the original volume was not indexed).  For now, here is a complete index of the Neversink chapter.  Page numbers refer to the pages in the extract, not to the pages in the original volume.  This extracted Neversink chapter is included, with the index, on the "Old Neversink" CD-ROM.
