A Brief History of Saugerties
Beginning as a Dutch settlement, Saugerties is scenically positioned between the Hudson River and the base of the Catskills. In 1609, the great explorer Henry Hudson's first mate, Robert Juet, recorded a meeting with Native Americans in the area. In its early days, the land was part of the Kingston Commons, one of the first municipalities in the colonies to be governed by an elected body. The town's history was shaped by industry. In the nineteenth century, bluestone quarries and paper and lead mills drove its economy, and a century later, Saugerties became a commuter town for IBM's plants. Michael Sullivan Smith chronicles the rich history of Saugerties.

Legendary Locals of Woodstock
Located at the foot of Overlook Mountain and at the gateway to the Catskill Mountains, Woodstock has long been both a place and an idea calling to the individual spirit within those seeking a better life. That call was answered in the 18th and 19th centuries by settlers unafraid of hard work and sacrifice striving to carve a community and a living from the challenges of a rugged countryside. The same call was heard in the 20th century by artists, musicians, and free-thinking individuals who, drawing inspiration from Woodstock's natural landscape, fashioned a cultural climate unique in the history of small-town America. From political leaders such as Elias Hasbrouck, Albert Cashdollar, and Val Cadden to cultural visionaries such as Ralph Whitehead, Hervey White, and Albert Grossman to men and women like Mescal Hornbeck, John Pike, Dr. Norman Burg, and Sam Mercer, who worked to sustain Woodstock's spirit of community, Legendary Locals of Woodstock offers a unique reflection on the road Woodstock has traveled.
Catskill Village
Catskill Village has deep roots in the long human history of the Hudson River Valley, from its native population who greeted Henry Hudson on his voyage upriver in 1609 to its early settlers. Today's village is located on the commercially advantageous landing on the Hudson River. In 1802, the Susquehanna Turnpike opened the village to the expanding western frontier, and Catskill Village became one of the most prominent commercial ports on the Hudson River. Local trades such as shipbuilding, tanning, farming, brickmaking, fishing, and tourism flourished. By the mid-20th century, the long era of prosperity had faded, only to rise phoenixlike in the past decade with an infusion of young professionals, artists, craftsmen, merchants, and those determined to save and restore the village's exceptionally rich architectural heritage.

Marriages from the Saugerties Telegraph, Saugerties, New York, 1871-1884
This book presents marriage notices and other genealogical tidbits as reported in The Saugerties Telegraph of Saugerties, Ulster County, New York. Although New York State required marriages to be legally recorded starting in 1881, the author found many that were unrecorded. The author also included some marriages that were not documented in the records of the church. Because marriages were published, the announcements were often copied by other newspapers, which exchanged information. As a result, many couples from Greene and other New York counties are mentioned, in addition to those of Ulster County. Out of state marriages of local persons and marriages of important people (such as Nellie Grant, daughter of Ulysses S. Grant) are chronicled. Separations and divorces were also published. Entries include the full names and city of residence of the bride and groom and the name of the clergyperson who performed the ceremony; many entries provide additional information. A full-name index includes the names of couples and their parents; and, a separate index lists the clergypersons who performed the ceremonies.
