Book Description
Newton Reed's Early History of Amenia describes this pleasant place and those people who were attracted to its verdant hills, coursing streams and rich farmland during the mid-1700's. Throughout Dutchess County and nearby Connecticut, and within his beloved Oblong Valley, Reed was highly regarded as historian and naturalist, writer and lecturer. "Impressions of Amenia" includes articles about Amenia's past, as well as several stories unearthed by Dewey Barry for our enjoyment and for posterity. The Great Van Amburgh Circus, Lizzie's Rise from the Ghetto, and a Utopian Community with a Cultic Leader are a few of these gems. (E.C.S. - 2012)

While on their way the company received news of the capture of Quebec, and were ordered to return. Mr. Reed was so pleased with the Oblong valley, through which he leisurely returned, that he induced his father, Mr. Daniel Reed, of Norwalk, to purchase for him some landt here, which he did where the late Philo Reed, son of James, resided till his death. The brothers of James Reed, who removed here a few years later, were Ezra, DEGREES who lived where Huldah Bump did, Elijah, who owned the farm which he left to his son, Elijah, Jun., and Eliakim, who settled where his grandson, Newton Reed, now resides Mrs. Warren, wife of Stephen Warren, was a sister of these.
