The books consulted for the history articles are cited in the text by author, title and year of original publication. Below is a full list of these works with additional publication information. I have provided links to bookstores that sell a few that are still in print, and in some cases, to sites where you can read the texts online. If you would rather buy books the old fashion way, take a trip to Hope Farm Press & Bookshop in Saugerties, where they have many of these titles. Some of the Orange County related books are also available directly from the Orange County Genealogical Society at the old 1841 Courthouse in Goshen.
