The Dutchess and Orange Counties chapters in Mather & Brockett's Geographical History of the State of New York (1848)
Only a dozen years before French's Gazetteer, but a world of difference! Treatment of these counties in the six pages allotted is fairly comprehensive in its treatment of the county's physical geography, somewhat weaker in terms of the history and definitely a little spotty in coverage of the towns that comprised it. The two counties are grouped together by the authors. We also include the two page summary of New York State land grants for background in this download. 6++ pages, PDF format, download now for $2.75

Charity in New York State in 1906: Dutchess County. We are in the process of republishing sections of volume II of the Annual Report of the State Board of Charities for the year 1906. The material will be of interest to local historians who wish a better picture of charitable institutions in their locale a century ago, to genealogists and family historians interested in the people who administered charity back then as well as how any unfortunates housed in these facilities may have lived, and to those who have questions about the now-politicized "safety net" for the unfortunates in our society back in those years. This section addresses the public and private charities in Dutchess County in 1906 that were registered with the State Board of Charities. 8++ pages, in PDF format, download now for $2.00.
The Old Post Road, by C. G. Hine (1905) -- “The Publick Common General Road and Highway from King’s Bridge to the Ferry at Crawlier over against the City of Albany”. See our New York State Miscellany page for more information.
PHOIS -- The Yearbook for Poughkeepsie High School for 1934.We're very happy to bring you volume 26 of a long series of Phois yearbooks from Poughkeepsie High School. Two interesting things to consider about this one. First of all, the editors brought us line drawings of what they thought the Poughkeepsie skyline might look like in the future. (They were very optimistic in that one.) Secondly, we wondered if people during the Great Depression actually realized they were in a depression. One ad in this volume shows that indeed they were very aware, and even advertised that they were successfully placing their graduates (it was an ad for a secretarial school) "even during this depression." A total of 150+ pages, in PDF format, download now for $4.00.
