Historic Wallkill Valley for 1903 (Orange and Ulster
Counties, NY, and Sussex County, NJ)
“Historic Wallkill Valley” was a more or less annual production for several
years at the beginning of the 20th century. Printed on expensive
paper, with color on some advertising pages and abundant photos it was
clearly an expensive undertaking, and contained many ads for area businesses
as well as articles. The articles in this issue included several about
Walden, some material about cemeteries in the area, Wesley Grove (Neelytown),
articles about historical incidents and locales, an article about
Montgomery, various in memoriam articles, and an article about Mount Beacon
with its cog railway. There is even a review of the previous issue of
“Historic Wallkill Valley” – something one does not often see. See our
Orange County, NY page for more
information.

Sussex County, NJ Sesqui-Centennial -- an Historical
Address by Francis J. Swayze.
Delivered at Newton, NJ on September 2, 1903. Today, no matter how
much content was contained in an address, no one would sit still for a
speech that was 67 pages long -- as this one was! There's a lot of
history here, although it is light on the extractive industries to which
Sussex County owes much of its historical interest -- but heavy
on the meat and potatoes of local history around 1900 (churches,
farms, who was on which side in the Revolution, railroads).
It is available now for download in PDF format for $4.00.

Boyd’s 1908 Street
Guide for Philadelphia and Camden.
This small and well-thumbed volume
contains, in addition to all the streets in Philadelphia and Camden a
century ago, you’ll find the following: a listing of named buildings,
hospitals, changed names of streets, a key to street numbers, cross streets
for major streets by area, parks and squares, “suburbs” (one might call them
neighborhoods today), ward boundaries, piers on the Delaware River, places
of interest, an index of trolley lines, followed by details of the routing
of each line (some ran all the way to Newark, NJ), and finally the Camden
street guide. A portion of the two pages defining ward boundaries in Camden
is missing, along with the back cover. Camden admittedly gets short
shrift in this volume, but the information that there is here is invaluable.

We have the following New Jersey titles in inventory, but not yet scheduled
for production:
- Records of the Town of Newark, New
Jersey, from its Settlement in 1666, to its Incorporation as a City in 1836
(1864)
With its history of early Caucasian
settlement from England, and from Guilford, Milford, and Brandford, CT, this
locale is often overlooked by those looking for ancestors who, by
contemporary standards, simply do not belong in Newark, NJ. Yet there
they are! 294 pages, mostly Town Clerk minutes. We have no
current plans for publication of this item, but we could be convinced to
prioritize it. Let us know!
- Archives of the State of New Jersey,
First Series, Volume XXI (1899)
Subtitled "Calendar of Records in the
Office of the Secretary of State, 1664 - 1703," this volume came to us as a
consolation prize due to an auctioneer error. We're only beginning to
delve into it, but, as a collection of Indian deeds, land transactions,
occasional divorce decrees, indentures of servitude, and all the other kinds
of papers that get filed, it is likely of considerable interest to some.
We'll decide how to publish it eventually.
