Synopsis

Thousands of towns across the nation have their own story to tell, influenced by geography, settlement patterns and people that results in a unique community, unlike any other. Milton, New York is one of those towns. Its story unfolds amidst the larger story of the founding of the nation. Milton, New York, A New Town in a New Nation, follows the growth of the shire town of Saratoga County from its first settlement on the eve of the Revolutionary War to the conclusion of another, more deadly conflict, the War for the Union. It is a story of pioneers, farmers, entrepreneurs, politicians, people of color, industrialists, mill workers, teachers, soldiers, and their families as they followed their own path to becoming Americans.

About the Author

Kim McCartney, the Town of Milton Historian, is a thirty-five year resident, with a lifelong interest in history. She has written articles for the Saratoga County Heritage Hunter's newsletter and is a volunteer researcher for the Saratoga County Historical Society at Brookside Museum. This is her first book, derived in part from her research, knowledge and experience gained during her tenure with the town, but this is a personal endeavor, not associated nor affiliated in any way with the Town of Milton or her position with the Town. James Richmond is an independent historian who has written several articles on his family genealogy and local history. In 2016 Jim published his first book War on the Middleline relating to the history of the Kayaderosseras Patent and a 1780 British-led raid during the Revolutionary War along Middle Line Road in the Towns of Ballston and Milton. Jim’s current focus is local politics and society during the Ante-Bellum period. Karen Staulters is a life-long county resident and has lived in the Town of Milton for the past thirty plus years. She has a great interest in genealogy and local history and has been doing a variety of projects and volunteering over the past thirty years.
