What did the Hamiltons usually do in the summers? Did they take vacations? EH used to travel to Albany with the children but after 1792 she did not leave AH alone again. Did she continue traveling to Albany but taking AH with her, or did they have other plans for the summer?

way too long DNR summary: they didn't really take vacations in the summer, or at other times of the year. At no time did Eliza, in particular, go and visit her parents on some regular schedule.

I think AH spent more time with his wife's parents in Albany during their married life than she did! AH is more frequently going up there because he has to be at court (NY Supreme Court in session in Jan, Apr, July, and Oct, and Court of Errors in session right after, as far as I can recall) or a matter he's dealing with is in arbitration, or some such - she often doesn't go with him, though.

I think Eliza was a lot more independent and assertive and knew how she wanted things than is acknowledged - I don't think these were traits that suddenly appeared after AH died. She grew up without her father around for chunks of time (why don't we ever discuss that bit of bonding about somewhat absent fathers that she and AH could have had), and then in the chaos of the AmRev, while still a teenager, she's trusted at times to run the households while her father is away general-ing and/or having to do political stuff elsewhere, and her mother is managing their other properties -her parents were likely in Saratoga and she was managing things at the Pastures right before she got married in late fall 1780. Once she finally got to establish her own household, I don't think she loved going back to stay with them and having to fall in line with how her parents wanted the household to work - that's entirely my speculation though. Maybe she secretly hated them, maybe she had some trauma/stress around being in Albany and Saratoga from her childhood, when that was considered the frontier, or from her war experiences, maybe she just didn't want to have to manage the packing and moving of servants that was also necessary or have the funds to make it sensible, maybe the arrangements she had with her servants made it difficult to agree to travel (there was a shortage of "good labor" in the cities), maybe she enjoyed her thriving social life elsewhere and hated being back in Albany and hearing "the Dutch bell," as Angelica C. jokes about.

To the actual question! If you want a detailed report, @runawayforthesummer is probably the best person to ask, as she developed a timeline of the locations of all the various family members based not only on publicly available documents but on Schuyler family letters and other documents that required on the ground research. Below is just my rough summary of what I can remember - parts may be wrong, but I think it's generally okay.

Summer of 1781: he goes off with the military, ultimately to VA

Summer of 1782: still on her parents' property in Albany with baby Philip

Summer of 1783: the same, though he's traveling a bit more.

Summer of 1784: living in NYC, she stays there while he briefly travels (she gives birth to Angelica H. in September)

Summers of 1785-88: mostly in NYC (with two more bio kids added to the family, and Fanny added in 1787), although now we know she went to Philadelphia in June 1787 around the time AH gave a speech at the Constitutional Convention. (It had been assumed she spent the summer in NYC, as AH was known to be back there briefly in July, and James A. H. was born in April 1788, so easy to deduce that she must have been in NYC, too.)

Point to note here and for the next 15 years or so: just because the Hamiltons weren't traveling back and forth to Albany doesn't mean that family members from upstate NY were stuck in place. Peggy and hubby Stephen van Rensselaer stay with them, Eliza's brother is sent to live with them by Philip S because he thinks their good example will rub off on his wayward son, Eliza's youngest sisters Cornelia and Kitty/Caty (little Catharine b 1781) also live with them at various times, and Philip S. and Catharine are fairly frequently visiting when Phil S. isn't too sick to travel (and since Philip S spends two years as a U.S. Sen, they're also sometimes living in the same city as the Hamiltons anyway).

Summer of 1789: this is an interesting year, because Angelica Church returns back to NY for the first time in nearly six years; she just barely misses the inauguration in April. And then Angelica actually spends most of her time in upstate NY - contra one particular Hamilton biographer who alleges (based on nothing) that Eliza spent most of her time that year in Albany while AH and Angelica were having a torrid affair in NYC. The interesting part? If Eliza went up to Albany at all while Angelica was there, she didn't spend tons of time there. Phiiip S. requests in May that everyone goes up as he wants his whole family together- someone else probably knows whether they actually did. Eliza and the kids also may have gone to Albany in Nov 1789 after Angelica has leftl; AH is too busy with work to go.

Summer of 1790: she and the kids go to Albany. But she just goes up in September and is likely back within three weeks - the plan was that AH was also going to join them, but then he's too busy with work.

Summer of 1791: back in Albany for Eliza and the kids, this time to get away from hot Philadelphia, but actually only gone the last week of July to beginning of September, and he makes a brief trip to NJ during that time, too. But she and AH also took a trip "to the country" together for two weeks in May, sans kids - he doesn't even send any letters during that time.

December of 1791: Philip H. starts boarding school - I point this out not only because both his parents escorted him to boarding school (taking a mini-trip themselves), but because the patterns of the older boys' schooling - usually in school at least through July - from here on out would have prevented summer trekking to Albany, anyway.

Summer of 1792: the Hamiltons remain in Philadelphia, where Eliza gives birth to John Church H in August.

Summer of 1793: YELLOW FEVER REACHES PHILADELPHIA! They stay in Philadelphia but rent a house outside the city. The children are eventually sent up to Albany, and Eliza and AH end up there, too, for a couple of months after Edward Stevens nurses them back for health. EH and AH return to Philadelphia together, and then AH probably had to send a threatening letter to his father-in-law to return his kids. (Philip S. had written that AH was clearly still too sick to have proper judgment on whether the kids could return.)

Point to note here: just because AH and EH are in their usual residential spot doesn't mean that all of their kids are there with them. At various times over the years, and in varying combinations, the kids get brought up by a relative or left by their parents in Albany - Eliza's married siblings are in upstate NY so they have first cousins and a ton of other relatives; their grandparents or Aunt Peggy take over their tutoring and other instruction, etc. They get returned when another relative is traveling back to Philly/NYC.

Summer of 1794: it doesn't seem like anyone planned to go to Albany, but JCH gets sick and Eliza is pregnant, and they try a brief excursion away from hot Philly but JCH doesn't get better, so in late July, AH escorts both of them (likely with James A. H.) up to Albany and then rushes back down and Angelica H stays with him, while Phil and Alex eventually go back to school in Trenton. And then they have an awful couple of months, because although JCH recovers, AH leaves to deal with the "insurrection" in October and pretty much all the Hamilton kids get sick while he's away. Eliza has to go get the oldest boys from school. AH, who was always recommending medical treatments and played a big part in nursing the family when anyone got sick isn't around (the old thing of him intending to become a medical doctor when he left St. Croix). It largely all falls to Eliza and her parents and maybe a few siblings come down to help her out, and then she gets sick too (or is just so exhausted) - Edward Stevens helps take care of her - and she loses the baby. AH gets home and sends his resignation letter to GW and accepts the guilt of being the reason Eliza was ill.

Late winter/early spring 1795: the above led to the longest "vacation" they probably every took - after his resignation is official on Jan 31, the Hamiltons leave Philly on Feb 17 and travel to upstate NY via NYC, arriving in March, and stay there all the way until June. They make some mini excursions, but it looks like a deliberate downtime after an exhausting 6 years and super rough eight months. It also gives AH time to evaluate how poor (relative to others in their social class) they are due to his time in the admin. And then they settle into life back in NYC and AH's return to his law practice (and interference in any number of other political happenings).

Summer of 1795: YELLOW FEVER REACHES NYC! And they stay in the city, to Philip S's great panic for this and every subsequent NYC summer prior to the Grange. AH has Jay Treaty stuff, running the Washington admin from a distance, and establishing his law office to deal with. And they host Talleyrand. They also now have four (?) non-bio kids living with them.

Summer of 1796: Still in the city! The older boys are in school; AH goes up in October.

Summer of 1797: Yep, still there! The Churches return from Europe in May (and subsequently, Angelica C. spends way more time in Albany than it seems Eliza ever does). They have the whole Callendar/Reynolds/Monroe debacle to spice things up; Eliza gives birth to William in August. Most interesting - Philip S. was very ill in April 1797 - they thought he was going to die. Eliza doesn't go to Albany to visit him immediately, even though AH is there! At least Cornelia is with her, so they were bad daughters together; they may have gone briefly after he recovered. AH is absent again when Phil H. gets extremely sick in the fall.

Summer of 1798: Ah, Eliza finally goes back to Albany again without AH! And she's super unhappy about it or she and AH had some big fight before she left, based on AH's and Angelica C's letters to her. She takes baby William with her - Angelica H. might already be up there - but the older boys stay in the city with AH, and Angelica C., Peggy, AND Cornelia are in the city keeping an eye on him anyway (and likely helping with the kids). Eliza doesn't even stay three weeks before going back home (even though it seems AH thought she might stay away longer, maybe in retaliation or something). They rent a house outside the city with the Churches to get away from the yellow fever outbreak.

1798 is also the year when AH starts to complain A LOT in his letters about having to travel and any separations - he always expressed sadness about it and his anxiety increased the longer they were apart, but in this year and onwards it really carries a "this sucks and I hate it and I cannot do it much longer, I need the comfort of my family all the time" tone - even Angelica C. notes his unhappiness about separations and that anything that seems to affect Eliza or the children in his absence really drags him down.

Summer of 1799: still in NYC! Eliza's also pregnant and gives birth to a real Eliza in Nov.

And nothing much changed for the remaining summers, except adding the Grange as a place they could go, which was entirely the point . AH is in Albany for business/court and stays longer to be there when Peggy dies in 1801; Eliza does not go up. Philip H's death in Nov 1801 leads to an invitation from Phil S that they come to visit, which it seems that they do in January 1802 and then return to NY - Eliza is pregnant and there are frequent concerns that she's going to lose that baby (whether because she's actually ill or so grief-stricken) and AH does not respond to condolences until March, but Lil Phil is born healthy in June 1802. Eliza goes up solo after her mother dies in spring 1803 to comfort her father but doesn't spend much time there. The Hamiltons go into a pattern, esp in the warmer months, of Eliza staying up at the Grange with Angelica H. and the youngest children and AH staying in the city with the oldest boys during the week and coming up to the Grange on the weekends, a separation that Eliza would describe as a "sacrifice" they made so that their kids would always have a parent with them. (Beyond first Philip H's death, there were concerns that NYC was becoming increasingly dangerous.)

Apologies for errors - I am largely working on memory and have not confirmed all details above, but there are better sources for that.

Lead investigator behind P’Nut the Squirrel’s death ID’d as NY state probes critter’s demise

The state is probing how its agents bungled the hours-long raid on an upstate New York home that led to the tragic death of internet-famous squirrel P’Nut — as The Post identified the lead investigator behind the bushy-whacking.

The Department of Environmental Conservation said it is conducting an “internal investigation” into the much-criticized seizure of P’Nut and Fred the raccoon at Mark Longo’s Pine City home.

Both animals were euthanized — and likely decapitated — as the state claimed it tested them for rabies after P’Nut bit one of the agents on the hand during the raid. An unconvinced Longo said the officers wore heavy protective gloves.

“They’re realizing in hindsight, this got out of hand, they did not handle it well,” state Sen. Dan Stec (R-Warren) said of the state’s response.

“I can’t think of any legitimate or lawful reason to conceal the results of the rabies test. It’s a matter of public health,” he added. “Where is the state secret here? Whose interest are they protecting?” 

On Oct. 30, around 10 DEC agents descended on Longo’s 350-acre property, where he runs an animal sanctuary with his wife, in addition to caring for Fred and P’Nut in their home. The couple rescued the squirrel seven years ago after its mother was killed by a car and they kept it as a household pet. Fred was rescued just a few months ago.

DEC Investigator Joshua Crain executed the search warrant after receiving a sign-off from Chemung County Judge Richard W. Rich Jr. the day before, according to court documents.

The warrant noted Crain’s suspicions that the couple was unlawfully housing a gray squirrel and raccoon, but made no mention of rabies or any other imminent dangers. 

Crain was named Wildlife Officer of the Year in 2022 by a conservation-based group, with the DEC lauding a work philosophy, ironically, that “promotes education first and enforcement when needed.”

“What happened in my house, if you think that was an educational [action] — I don’t know,” seethed Longo, who plans on suing the DEC.

The thing is, when L&D were doing check ins on the EC property they would post from the area it's actually in and/or Boston. When they were there in April, they posted from Boston a few hours after some EC updates. When they were there in June (before the photo shoot), they posted from an antique/art shop in the area where he has his other home a day or two before the photo shoot took place. My guess is they're assuming people don't analyze everything like parts of this fandom does and that the "upstate NY" thing will deter anyone from connecting things. But the people they are trying to dissuade from doing that are the ones that have been paying attention and already made the connections

I hear you. This is the part that has me confused too. Maybe that was the goal here? Who knows.

What I can tell you is the house that was photographed is his. It’s the photos that AD was/is using for the Chris feature. His name is attached to those photos in all of the AD communication we’ve seen.

I want to be clear that our AD source never mentioned Carlisle. They kept it vague with just “New England” and we assumed Carlisle ourselves because so many of the features match, and certain map apps showed that house as under renovation.

What I’m now unsure of is if L&D are lying about the location, or if it really is in New York and Chris bought another house none of us knew about until we put the pieces together now with the L&D update.

So i've been kind of absent lately because I went on vacation! I've been back home for about a week, settling back into the routine of things. My husband's family own a farm in western New York state and we go and stay maybe twice a year. This year our visit lined up with my son's birthday so he got to turn ten hanging out with his extended family and wrangling the chickens and target shooting with rifles in the back field. I'd never shot a gun before, and I gotta say it's pretty fun.

Check out the chickens! My brother in law has a whole flock that just roam all over the property. They make the best sounds! They look so funny when they run! Knowing that chickens are descended from dinosaurs just kills me because now all I can picture is a whole t-rex doing that goofy run. They are surprisingly pretty! Look at these majestic bastards.

It was good to get out of the city for a minute. I spent most of my early life trying to get the fuck out of upstate NY, but I can't deny the pull this place has on me. In a perfect world I could be in both places.

May 28: Return

Traveling days are so surreal. You start one place, you end up somewhere else. I woke up at 5am in S's guest room, and now I'm on my own couch.

The day was very straightforward, really easy traveling. Really encourages me to take more trips where I just pop up there and then come back down.

We got to the airport super early and then I sat around for a long while because the plane was late in a lackadaisical way. Like oh we were supposed to leave 15 minutes ago, and it's just now showing up... whatever. ADK time for sure. I didn't care; my layover in Boston was long anyway. The plane itself was a full house, all 8 seats full. I was right behind the co-pilot. I slept the whole way.

In Boston, got food and coffee and then just sat for a long time in the rocking chair looking out the window and thinking. I am full of excellent thoughts. Kept scratching the peeling skin of the dumbass boat sunburn at the very top of my forehead where I missed putting on sunscreen like a total fucking rube. The flight itself was fine; on time, not too long; I did stay awake the whole time though.

I checked my bag because I no longer trust TSA not to steal my stuff after they confiscated my host gift on the way up--something that was my fault but I'm big mad about it anyway. So I had to grab that, and I had weird anxiety about it. But it was fine. My ride was there, and I got home about 5, I'd say.

I have literally been on my couch chilling, scrolling, watching TV... shameless. I can't believe it's 10. At least I took off work tomorrow. I have these ideas that I'll clean... mmmmm, we'll see.

I just... loved being home. I've been thinking a lot about my total lack of Home recently but I think, even without family there, this is sort of it. Why did I cry when the flight attendant at Boston said 'for those of you from the Boston area, welcome home'? Even though that was just my layover? S and I still talk as if we were elementary school BFFs. I still feel so comfortable around her and her family. I love her son, I miss him so much already, I just want to hold him as he wiggles around. And I want to play with her dog. And I'm usually scared of dogs.

It's nice to be around people who've known you for a long time and share a certain set of memories and references with you. It's also nice to be around people who have the same vocabulary and scale as you. Like no upstate NY is not the fucking Hudson Valley and it's not Buffalo either (that's Western NY). No 40 degree is not cold. And yes 80 is sweltering and 90 should be illegal. I like being around grocery stores that aren't chains and local-branded soda and beer and ice cream. I like chains like Grand Union, Kinney's, and Stewart's. The shades of green in the trees and blue in the water are the most beautiful colors in the world. I just love this area so much. I'm not even kidding when I say I want to have property up there which is fucking WILD given I don't even have property HERE. L M A O, self.

I'll go up again for Carnival. I have to start acknowledging my November trip (hadfakfaksfa) and then after that, we'll start planning for February. Excellent, excellent. Keep looking forward to things, keep looking on.

[floridacracker]

I have probably posted this before. This is just about the perfect property, but it's also interesting because it has been for sale for TWO YEARS. Property values in NY have plummeted and this guy didn't get the memo. In any bordering state this would already be a great deal, yet this guy probably needs to drop by about $300-500k. If upstate were ever able to secede, they would get an influx of decent people taking advantage of this (before their arrival causes prices to increase)

[steerage]

hi! i just left a comment on your fic Esopus Creek and to avoid clogging up your ao3 comments i thougth id message you here! what inspired you to write that fic? whats your favorite part? also i hope youre doing well!!

Hi!! Thank you for that comment! And thank you for extending the conversation here! I don't think I've ever gotten a message on Tumblr about my fic. The inspiration came after watching the finale and wondering "okay, they ride off into the sunset... love that... but what next?". I've lived in some pretty quiet communities in the Northeast before and that final shot in the episode just felt like all those places I loved so much. I wanted the story to be contemplative and realstic, so I let the reality of the situation drive the story. I did so much research about things I never would have imagined. Like fly fishing, property values in upstate NY and probate! My favorite parts are definitely the little snippets of House and Wilson's conversations in the river. I just always heard those bits the most clearly in their voices. Thank you again for the message!

Random Memories: Food for Neighbors Edition

When I was in middle school, my parents moved from one small town in upstate NY to another, far away town in upstate NY. They purchased a small ranch house which was well known by its connection to previous owners. A neighbor, a local judge, came to welcome my mother by bringing her home-baked bread. Apparently he was well known for this bread (I don't know how she found that out. Asking around, I suspect.) Suspicious, she put it in the freezer and consulted my father. Between the two of them they settled on a story which involved every person in the town being indoctrinated into the dull, conformist, Christian (?) hivemind of the town via eating this bread, which had some sort of mind control properties. I'm pretty sure they legitimately and unironically believed this. The bread was thrown away and never consumed.

2. My neighbor here in New Hampshire is a very sweet (and IMO, very pretty) elderly woman who brings us food, sometimes. Or she used to. She's probably done it about a dozen times, and I have reciprocated by bringing her things maybe three or four times. I like when she brings apples she picked from the local orchard. I don't like the baked goods as much, because they taste weird and make me ill. I think this is just general "old ladies sometimes use questionable ingredients in their cooking" illness and not anything sinister. The thing is, though, my husband absolutely hates that she does this. He feels his space and his privacy is completely violated by it.

3. When I was 18, living in a … I can't remember the word. A house where poor people stay for sort periods of time. One of my roommates had a birthday. I baked her a chocolate cake. She didn't eat any. No one at the house did. I think they were vegan. After four days I ate it all myself.

4. There's a sort of meetup up called "National Night Out" where everyone in a neighborhood will come out and bring a dish, like a potluck, and all the neighborhood beat cops and firemen will come and socialize. I've been to a few different ones in different neighborhoods. I brought a pie to one once, and nobody touched it, but I left early and left it there. Someone must have eaten it, probably.

Those are all the memories I have on the topic.

[w2dw2dw2d]

Ok but this absolutely reminds me of an airbnb I went to in upstate NY with a dog who guided us to a secret waterfall on the property. If we took too long he would start to hunt frogs in the creek.

Fake 'Neo-Nazi MAGA Supporters' Try to Crash Trump Boat Parade, Taste Epic Humiliation

You hear it from the Dems and the corrupt media all the time: MAGA white supremacists are out there daily, like boogeymen, waiting in the shadows to commit unspeakable violence on women, minorities, perhaps your pets—anything you can think of. Yet it was leftists who in 2020 rioted across the country and destroyed at least a billion dollars in property and caused the deaths of at least 25 Americans.

But it’s those darn Neo-Nazi Trump fans that should keep us up at night.

Seriously? Democrat Rep. Goes on Bizarre Rant About White Supremacist MAGA Gangs Committing Crimes in Major Cities

In a bid to keep that scary narrative alive, a group of pretend MAGA folks crashed a huge Trump boat parade in Florida on Sunday. First, look at the size of this event—do you think Kamala Harris could ever get a tenth of this number to show up with their watercraft? Tend to doubt that:

Of course, some leftist goons tried to get in on the action and gaslight Americans about what Make America Great Again supporters are really about. Hint: we want accountability for criminals, an inflation rate that doesn’t make us feel nauseous whenever we go to the grocery store or pull up to the gas pump, an administration that is more focused on protecting our women and girls than it is hell-bent on forcing radical gender ideology down our throats, and a military policy of strength which tells the world’s bad actors, “Think very carefully about what you do.”

The support is seen everywhere: Massachusetts Town Gets Knickers in a Twist Over 'Trump 2024' Display on Water Tower

Huge 'Vote for Trump' Sign Lights Up in Upstate NY Despite Local Officials' Efforts to Shut It Down

Very few stand for this kind of nonsense:

But these idiots found out the hard way that they came to the wrong parade. The response by boaters was pretty satisfying. Major profanity alert:

There are dueling reports on the internet on whether the owner of the boat was in fact a neo-Nazi; some claim he really is, while others allege he is an obvious leftist plant. 

This was clearly a set up to make it look like Trump supporters at the boat parade are Nazis.

Related: How to Spot a Fake Protest

We cannot independently verify the accuracy of "GrizzlyPatriot's" claims, but what’s undisputed is that these guys are idiots and do not represent the majority of Trump supporters who just want our country to be led by people who—unlike Biden-Harris-Walz—aren’t trying to destroy it.

The Trump campaign weighed in:

In a statement to Newsweek, Karoline Leavitt, Trump's campaign spokesperson, said: "Kamala's supporters are reaching all-time lows. Social media posts show that genuine Trump supporters identified these idiots as liberal activists trying to create fake news. They clearly responded accordingly."

I hope that seawater tasted good.

Effective Pest Control in Clifton Park, NY: Safeguarding Your Home and Business

Pest infestations can be more than just a nuisance; they pose health risks, damage property, and affect the overall comfort of your home or business. Residents of Clifton Park, NY, know how essential it is to maintain a pest-free environment.

Rodent Control: Mice and rats are not only a nuisance but also health hazards. Pest control experts use traps, baits, and exclusion methods to remove rodents and prevent their return.

Termite Control: Termites are highly destructive, and early detection is crucial. Pest control professionals in Clifton Park use advanced techniques like bait systems and barriers to protect your home from these wood-destroying insects.

Bed Bug Removal: Bed bugs can be a nightmare to deal with. Expert pest removal services employ heat treatments, chemical treatments, and thorough inspections to rid your home of these pests.

So you dated a guy that didn't like you getting into fights? Or overall didn't like quick decisions? Damn you must be strong if you're confident to break elbows, or I'm just weak. If you live in a dangerous area then yeah, best to be able to act fast, if you don't make the first move you get hurt. If your store wants you to hurt whoever will rob them shouldn't they just let you carry a gun then, instead of physically fighting back? I'm surprised, cause I though most stores just say let them rob cause they are scared of(getting sued for) their employees dying. And yeah, talking about things usually just makes things worse.

The thing he freaked out about was me being ready to kill an intruder anon. Me being ready to personally defend my life and property along with his.

I think that context should have been added, call that my b. Though I suppose, to be fair to him, I was also ready to do so with a cutlass, in an Upstate NY parody of "as the founding fathers intended" copypasta.

I'm confident that the design will compensate for anything I may lack, if anything. It's also going to be pretty heavy itself, which helps. I'd prefer a warhammer, but that's asking a bit much of my employer to be okay with. The key is to get a few reducers down for a small plug rather than a big plug for the mace heads, focusing the impact more and more, without going overboard and making it too heavy, for me, 1-2 is enough considering it'll be going four ways since I'm not adding that to the top too.
