Praise for Jim Millard's LAKE PASSAGES: A Journey through the Centuries...
"...thank you for having produced such a wonderful book. The book has a haunting theme that thrills. One somehow feels as if being paddled on canoe trips, or steered on board sloops and other vessels alongside the ghostly figures of our heroes through those magnificent lakes and rivers of unequalled beauty. It gives the feeling of being there as no other book of its kind does. For those with a passion for the history of these waters, this book is a must...The many photos of the valley's landmarks, monuments, statues, forts and panoramic views, make all so worthwhile an additive to pleasant reading." Stanley W. Gomez- Gibraltar

Fort Montgomery
Rouses Point, New York

The Charles Barney
Image Collection
Part II

It is obvious that Charles Barney, Sr. had rather remarkable access to Fort Montgomery, before and after its unfortunate demolition. He took many photos of the fort and was photographed, together with his wife Rita and friends, on the fort grounds.

In Part II we share more of Charles Barney's photographs of Fort Montgomery.
