Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Cherry Valley No village in the United States has had so remark able a history as Cherry Valley; nor has any played so important a part in all the various epochs of the country's history. Indeed it may be said that a care ful student might trace through it the life of the country. With all its varied changes: the hardships and struggles of the colonial times; the sufferings and agonies of the revolutionary period; the trials and toils of an impoverished people commencing life over again in the infant republic; the beginning of the emigration from New England and its gradual increase until it became almost a universal exodus from the older states of the east to the new territories of the west; the building up of the villages on the great routes of this travel until they rivalled in their wealth and influence the old commercial towns of New England and eastern New York; their gradual decline through the building of the canals and rail roads, which diverted from them their great sources of revenue; and following this the final destruction of their prosperity and influence by the loss of their young men, who have, in recent years, so generally sought the growing country to the west, or the large cities in the east, as offering greater opportunities for advancement. It is not, however, the fact that Cherry Valley played a part in all of these variousepochs that makes its history remarkable, but that it played so important a part, and presents in so marked a manner the importance of the country vil lage in the early life of the country and its great decadence in later times. For, passing by its colon ial history, when as the home of the first English church and the first classical school west of the Hud son, and by reason of the prominent part it per formed in the revolution, it was recognized as the leading settlement west of Schenectady, we find it for forty years after the close of that war the leading commercial center and for half a century the wealth iest and most influential village in the state west of the Hudson. But more remarkable still, although its population during this time never exceeded one thousand people, it was the home of a greater num ber of men of prominence and ability and of more skilled mechanics than any other place in the state, excepting only New York.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Cherry Valley Around, rough slabs of rock mark the graves of the pioneers who died in the early day when there was no chisel to cut their epitaphs; among them that of John Wells, cultured gentleman and officer in the French War, and lay judge on the bench at Johns-town. Within view of the cemetery all around, are homesteads, each the center of some tale or tradition of the savage event, and by it passes the earliest thoroughfare trodden by men's feet on this frontier. The place lies on the northernmost terrace of the Catskill highland, twelve miles south of the Mohawk River, 1, 400 feet above tide. From immemorial time a wilderness route had been known to the Indians from the Mohawk at Canajoharie to the head of the Susquehanna, down which stream they passed on war or hunt, to Pennsylvania and the Chesapeake and beyond. From this primative highway trails led northward up the Unadilla and the Chenango to the heart of the country of the Oneidas and Onondagas; and further west by the Chemung to the hunting grounds and lakes, the villages and "castles" of the Cayugas and Senecas, or Senekees. Early discovering this track, Dutch fur traders found their way to the gathering place for barter, Oghwaga, at the carry across the Great Bend, the largest village on this path. This spot, near Windsor, is important to be noted as a center of primative trade, of early travel, of missionary effort of war. The name survives in the hamlet of Onoquago, and Tuscarora, across the stream in the site of the village assigned by the Iroquois to a band of that adopted tribe. No white inhabitant had an abode in all this solitude. Eastward and northward a few German exiles from the Palatinate of the Rhine had begun to settle thinly in the Schoharie Valley, and a little beyond Canajoharie on the Mohawk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Border Warfare of New York: During the Revolution; Or, the Annals of Tryon County In presenting this volume of Annals to the public, I would wish to say a few words as to its origin. It is a right which every reader of a book purporting to be a record of facts possesses and may exercise, to examine its authenticity, and to demand whence the author has drawn his deductions. In the fall of 1830 a society was formed in the village of Cherry-Valley for literary purposes generally, but especially for collecting facts illustrative of the natural and civil history of that section of country. I had been often requested to collect and imbody the events of its civil history, and was again solicited to prosecute this branch of inquiry. I at first contemplated writing only the history of Cherry-Valley. Born and reared in that valley, I had from early life been in some degree familiar with the incidents which had occurred there. They were interwoven with my earliest impressions; and I entered upon the business of arranging and compiling them with an interest which the subject, perhaps, did not merit. Upon examination, I found its revolutionary history connected with that of the valley of the Mohawk; and thinking I might, from the documents and information which I had obtained, throw some light upon the comparatively imperfect history of that valley during that interesting period, I dropped the original plan, and adopted the one which I have followed in the subsequent pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Central New York in the Revolution: An Address Delivered August 15th, 1878, at the Unveiling of a Monument in Commemoration of the Massacre at Cherry Valley, New York in 1778 I am very glad that we have met to-day to unveil a monument, and not to lay its corner-stone. The country is dotted all over with the corner-stones of pretentious structures, which, judging from the history of the past, will never be completed. You, with what I think is greater wisdom, have built your modest monument and deferred all ceremonies until its actual completion. Thirty-eight years ago this little valley was filled with a multitude gathered from all quarters of the union to celebrate the centennial of the settlement of Cherry Valley. William H. Seward, then the Governor of the State, and who since has died full of years and honors, graced the scene with his presence and added to its interest by one of his eloquent speeches. There was also present the Rev. Doctor Nott, who began his career as a minister in this hamlet, and who afterwards, as President of Union College, placed the stamp of his character upon the minds of more than two generations of the leading men of the United States. The chief address upon that occasion was delivered by a native-born son of Cherry Valley, who years before had gathered up the scattered documents and vanishing traditions relating to its history, and woven them into a permanent record. Speaking of the event which we commemorate, he expressed regret that this place was not marked by a fitting monument. To-day he has his wish. The intervening years have brought to him many joys and honors, but I question whether they have borne a more gratifying moment than the present. We have come together, not to celebrate a victory, but to commemorate a tragedy - a tragedy which blotted from existence the settlement in this valley, and gave back its fields and forests to the wolf and red man.
