Schaghticoke at Harper’s Ferry – By Chris Kelley

For the last couple of weeks, I have written about our recent visit to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The National Park Service has preserved many buildings there and does a find job telling the story of what was once a thriving industrial community at the gorgeous confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. We really went to try to understand why a Union Army of 12,000 was surrendered to Stonewall Jackson and the Confederates on September 15, 1862 at Harpers Ferry, including our local boys, Company K of the 125th NY Infantry.

July, 1863: Gettysburg Part I – By Sandy McBride

In the beginning, it was about shoes.

In the green and glorious countryside of northern Maryland and southern Pennsylvania at the end of June in 1863, two opposing armies groped their way toward destiny, neither knowing for sure where the other was or where it was headed.

There was a small town called Gettysburg in southern Pennsylvania where nine roads converged, almost like the spokes of a wheel.  It was rumored that there were shoes to be had in Gettysburg, and many of the Confederate soldiers who had marched all the way from Virginia still had no shoes.

Brown’s Beach: Bright Future – By Harold Wessell

TOWN OF STILLWATER, June 20 – Stillwater Supervisor Edward Kinowski took some time at the start of the first Town Board Business meeting in a new Town Hall to address some news generated that day on a radio station and newspaper.

Indeed, he began, it was why he requested an on-air interview with YNN, and seen around the time the board meeting was starting, concerning the prospective purchase and revival of Brown’s Beach.

"There's a lot of misinformation that is out there." he began. "Here's the straight skinny from me.  And I don't know what else to say," as he outlined that the longtime favorite recreation place for people from Stillwater, Mechanicville, Malta and beyond lies completely within the bounds of the Town of Stillwater; that his Town is the only entity in formal negotiation with the current owner to purchase it – and that, while a money contribution by the chipmaker would be most welcome, the Town has been methodically working out how it could make the purchase on its own.
