On 5/25/04 (6:40:08 AM MDT), in a posting to [email protected], Honor Conklin ([email protected]) asked, "I am trying to locate information on the history of Black Swamp and the immediate surrounding properties in the Bronx and the location of any maps that included it. Can anyone direct me to books, articles, manuscript collections, map collections, etc.?" Honor, you might want to touch base with the Bronx County Historical Society: The Bronx County Historical Society 3309 Bainbridge Avenue New York, NY 10467 Tel: 718/881-8900 eMail: ????? http://www.bronxhistoricalsociety.org/index86.html I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting.
