Thank you, Veterans, we are grateful for your service. This photo from Thompson Studios produced in 1918 mirrors a report in the Monticello Republican Watchman newspaper: “One hundred soldiers from the Army Transport Service Detachment will arrive in Monticello on Wednesday night and will remain here all day Thursday to participate in the [4th of July] celebration. These are all picked men for the occasion and are among the best drilled in the service.” Among the special exhibitions planned for the day were an illuminated street parade with the 100 soldiers, Home Defense, Boy Scouts, the Red Cross, the Fire Department, the G.A.R., and others led by the band, under the direction of Marshals Wm. B. McMillen and Louis De Hoyos. The parade was planned to end at the Court House Square, where Broadway was roped off in front of the park, “swept, washed and greased until it is like a polished ballroom floor” for the multitude to dance.

In September 1911, James Ward took off from Governor’s Island, heading north in his Curtiss Transcontinental Flyer in an attempt to fly from New York to San Francisco. He dubbed the aircraft the Hearst Pathfinder, a nod to William Randolph Hearst, publisher of the NY Daily Mirror, who sponsored the race to fly across the U.S. Postcards from that era show Ward in a field behind the Callicoon seminary, surrounded by curious onlookers, as he made repairs to his aircraft after landing there. This is a striking look at how fragile the plane was. One man described it as a “jig-saw puzzle with motor,” when he watched Ward assemble the parts at an exhibition in Michigan before taking off in it. Ward started his transcontinental journey on September 13, but withdrew from the race September 22 after experiencing a crash (from which he walked away apparently unscathed). He was still in New York State.
