Support The New York History Site, Buy A Book

In addition to our regular sponsor, there are now two new ways to support what you read here at New York History. Two new books, written by John Warren (that’s me!) have been published by The History Press. Historic Tales from the Adirondack Almanack, the region’s first blog-to-book, is a collection of history essays that have appeared at the online journal Adirondack Almanack, which I began in the spring of 2005. The Almanack has grown to be the Adirondack region’s most popular online journal of news and opinion, covering local politics, culture, history, regional development, outdoor recreation, the environment and other issues. Adirondack Almanack has become a go-to regional news resource for Adirondackers and for those outside the park who want to stay current on Adirondack news and events. I hope you’ll take a look at the site.

The second book is the first detailed history of the Poesten Kill which flows from the Petersburg Mountains in Eastern Rensselaer County to the Hudson River at Troy. It is now available at Amazon.,com. I hope you’ll enjoy the book and check in at the Poesten Kill blog to comment.
