Going to Press

Carmel, George Whipple's book in Arcadia's Postcard Series, has been published. It should be available in nearby bookstores soon, and is now listed online at Amazon.com. Many of the cards in the Historical Society's collection are reproduced in this book.

Christine O'Connor was honored at Putnam History Day for her transcription of early Putnam Valley town documents. Such books are a boon to genealogists and historians, but a long and tedious process for the preparer.

Christina Mucciolo of the Putnam Historian's office has now gone to press with a similar effort, Patterson, NY Town Clerk Records, 1795-1863, published by Kinship.

Vincent Dacquino explores the haunted Hudson Valley in The Dead Live Here, to be published later this year -- Hallowe'en, perhaps! -- by Purple Mountain Press. Vin previously reconstructed the true life of Sybil Ludington.
