Best.-Nr. vot941Moran Printing Company 1969. Octavo white cloth hardcover map illustrated endpapers xvi pp 73 pp ii pp. Very Good with light soiling. From Foreword: The lighthouses of the Hudson River even though their demise was comparatively recent seem in our minds to hark back to an era as remote and pleasant as an actual lighthouse existence of perhaps a century ago. Here in mankind’s nearest equivalent to an ivory tower one might enjoy peace and splendid isolation that was comforting but not hermitlike for past the front door went the great and fascinating water traffic of bygone years. From Introduction: Much has been written about the Hudson River; its beauty history and old estates. Lately we hear much of its pollution and the neglect of its shorelines. But this little book is a tribute solely to its Lighthouses and their function before they are all of the past. Some have already been torn down and others are doomed neglected decaying and vandalized. Little Tarrytown alone seems in good hands. The sloops nightboats the river pleasure steamers that carried thousands each summer to the mountains are all gone. Even the fishermen’s nets and the long strings of barges with their families on board are no more. Now the River is dredged regularly for large tankers and freighters from foreign ports. And huge cement barges load at plants that have stacks belching out clouds of noxious smoke. And tall towers take the place of the Lighthouses. hardcover books

"One of the deadliest accidents in our area's history took place exactly 100 years ago today. 29 people were killed and 62 injured when a Lehigh Valley Railroad train derailed about 20 miles east of Rochester. According to investigators at the time it was a defective rail on a 400 foot bridge in Manchester NY that shattered into seventeen pieces and sent at least 3 of the cars into Canandaigua Outlet. Newspaper reports described the scene as a "twisted and splintered mass of wreckage." "Train No. 4 east-bound left Buffalo N. Y. at 10:35 A. M. 40 minutes late. It consisted of twelve cars and was hauled by engines Nos. 2476 and 1804. At Rochester Junctionexternal link a station 20 miles west of the point of accident two additional cars were picked up so that at the time of the accident there were fourteen cars in the train in the following order: One express car one mail car one baggage car four coaches Pullman sleeper Austin dining car two coaches parlor car Emelyn and two coaches. On approaching the west end of Manchester Yard train No. 4 found the signals at caution and being required by rule not to exceed a speed of twenty-five miles per hour through this yard the speed was reduced accordingly. On arriving at the east end of the yard all of the blocks being clear the enginemen of both engines began to use steam in order to increase the speed of the train so that at the time of the accident the train was probably not exceeding a speed of about 25 miles per hour." "The train was derailed by a broken rail 247 feet west of a steel girder deck bridge spanning Canandaigua Outlet causing the death of 27 passsengers and 1 employee and injuries to 59 passengers and 4 employees. One of the injured passengers died afterwards making a total of 29 persons killed and 62 injured." "The two engines and the first five cars were not derailed. Grand Trunk coach No. 2187 the sixth car in the train had one truck derailed while all of the following cars were derailed. The Pullman sleeping car Austin was leaning over to the right; the dining car was down the embankment on its side just east of the bridge; Lehigh Valley coach No. 237 the 10th car in the train was resting on its side in the bed of the Outlet 40 feet below; Lehigh Valley coach No. 293 the 11th car was standing on one end in the bed of the Outlet the rear end of it extending about 15 feet above the top of the bridge and resting against the corner of the parlor car Emelyn which remained on the bridge. The majority of the fatalities were in coaches Nos. 237 and 293 both of which were of wooden construction." - Rochester Subway Rochester Public Library unknown books

An excellent copy. 1948 Stapled Binding. 14 pp. Minstrel shows also known as minstrelsy were a form of American theater that began in the early 19th century. The shows were performed by mostly white actors in blackface makeup who portrayed racial stereotypes of African Americans in a comedic way.
