Herkimer
County: Valley Towns brings back the Main Streets of home - Herkimer,
Little Falls, Dolgeville, Mohawk, Ilion, and Frankfort. It shows how folks
made a living, learned life's lessons, and spent their leisure. From a
stroll along the tow path to a trip in a trolley, the book is a glimpse
into the world of earlier generations. Out of those generations have come
people of note, from Palatine General Nicholas Herkimer to Mohawk's own
Gregory Jarvis of Challenger fame.Jane
W. Dieffenbacher is the historian for the town of Fairfield and author.
A ten-year volunteer at the Herkimer County Historical Society, she serves
as editor and contributor to the Society's publication Legacy.
Drawing from the Society's archives, she has selected images that best
tell the history of the County's valley towns.
The
book price is $20.00.
