This well-illustrated book primarily provides the history of the Jefferson County village of Sterlingville, a small community that ceased to exist upon the government’s expansion of Pine Camp (now Fort Drum) prior to the United States’ entry into World War II. Several other small communities that met the same fate in the area are mentioned as well: Sterlingburgh, Lewisburg (Louisburg, also formerly known as Sterlingbush), Leraysville, and Reedville.
