Book Description
The villages of Walden and Maybrook are located within the town of Montgomery, halfway between New York City and Albany. During part of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Walden was considered the Knife Capital of the United States; three companies specialized in producing pocketknives, penknives, and switchblades. At the same time, Maybrook was known as the Gateway to the East; it had the largest railroad-switching terminal connecting rail service from the interior of the country to the New England states. The two villages depended upon each other: Walden manufactured the goods, and Maybrook shipped them to market. With carefully selected photographs and detailed text, Walden and Maybrook traces the history of the two villages from the Colonial era to the mid-nineteenth century. The book contains some two hundred images, many of which have never before been published. Highlighted are the hardworking individuals who helped the villages prosper-the knife makers, polishers, grinders, and hefters, the prominent businesspeople of Chesnin & Leis Clothing and Brook May coats, and the railroad personnel who worked at the roundhouse, the engine house, and the coaling trestle.

Book Description
For years Montgomery has maintained strong and tangible links to its past. Now, at the dawn of the new millennium, changes are afoot that will result in a tremendous transformation of our township and a quality of life that we have come to know and love. As farmland and historic sites give way to developments, this pictorial history preserves forever a portion of our proud and shining heritage so future generations can remember and learn of life as it once was in Montgomery. Montgomery, New York focuses on our agricultural roots, schools, churches, and how our forefathers survived in a time long forgotten. This collection presents the best of William and John Crabtree's photographic legacy and highlights our surviving historic sites as well as those no longer in existence. Each section of this book includes rare photos dating from the 1870s to the present, all of which are accompanied by an insightful narrative that uncovers many little-known facts about the Town and its people.
