Courier & Delivery Services in Kingston, Canada

Excerpt from Nathaniel Booth's diary, dated July 15, 1849,"Sunday 15 July - Cool and pleasant – took a long walk to Rondout and the cement quarry of the Newark Co – This ‘deep cut’ in the “Vlight Berg” has caved in – this deep cut is 200 yards long and 100 feet deep – one third of the wall called “Roof Wall” has fallen in filling the shaft and the cave with masses of worthless rock – the drift or tunnel progresses fast.

Rich Turck, if I remember correctly, the Newcomb mansion way in off of Manor Avenue before the Armory was called Vauxhall Manor. When I was delivering newspapers to the Newcomb house I met Nelson Rockefeller, then VP I believe. He was a friend of the Newcombs.

Bryan, here's a reference for you w/ lots of detail. Somewhere in here you might find the original height. I didn't see it referenced. https://archive.org/stream/bulletinnewyork691902 newy#page/n375/mode/2 up

Alf Evers' book about Kingston contains a period engraving of the Vleightberg seen from the Hudson River; it appears as a huge, white rock outcropping, barren of trees. It certainly was prominent enough to use for navigation upriver.

Hi David, See here: http://kingstonfieldnaturalists.org and here: http://www.wolfeisland.com/mtbirdwatching/

Cash and carry has the small and medium sizes, upstairs, kind of behind the elevator. I get the large, paper shopping bags with handles from Caribbean Packaging in St Thomas. They send over on one of the local cargo ships once a week. I also get bubble wrap and newsprint from them.

Island Services can get the for you to.
