Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peter Sailly (1754-1826) A Pioneer of the Champlain Valley: With Extracts From His Diary and Letters The purpose of these pages is to sketch the life of an interesting Frenchman, Peter Sailly, who for four decades was a striking and influential figure in the pioneer life of northern New York. The appending of his short diary makes available for reference a record of early journeyings in the Champlain and Mohawk valleys. A few letters, his own and by other persons important in the life of the State a hundred years and more ago, are also added. It is hoped that the history of a part of New York State which is not rich in authentic historical publications relating to the formative years, 1780-1825, may thus be somewhat illuminated and that incidentally a recognition, delayed but abundantly deserved, may be recorded of the substantial debt which New York and the new nation owe to a considerable number of French immigrants of condition and character who were attracted to the United States between 1780 and 1800, first by prospect of an alluring political and commercial status to follow their newly gained independence and later as a refuge from danger and distress at home. The main source of information regarding the life of Peter Sailly in America is found in notes made by his grandson, the late Judge Peter Sailly Palmer, of Plattsburg, from original documents, most of them papers left by Sailly. Judge Palmer was an able lawyer and a writer and student of local history. The greater portion of the matter he gathered concerning his grandfather was turned into a series of articles which were printed during his lifetime in the Plattsburg Republican, in the weekly numbers from February 24 to April 20, 1872. Facts concerning the family abroad and Sailly's early life in France were gathered about 1882, mainly through personal visits to Europe of John Boynton Palmer, another grandson, and were carefully preserved by Judge Palmer. Most of the foreign information was secured through the assistance of M. Charles de Finance, of Lyons, France, and M. Ernest de Massy, of Langres, both descendants of sisters of Peter Sailly. The diary written in French and translated by Judge Palmer, who was a good French scholar, and most of the original documents are no longer in existence, but the translations and copies in his grandson's handwriting remain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both Roosevelt and Churchill recognized the importance of the land and naval battles of Plattsburgh. Many other, more famous, engagements were ruses meant to divert U.S. troops away from the prize Plattsburgh would afford: a clear pathway into New England. If not for the exemplary skills of two young military officers, Commodore Macdonough and General Macomb, and the force they commanded, regular army and naval personnel, New York and Vermont Militia, Native Americans, Veteran Exempts and boys from the local school, the war and the nation would have been lost. Using original source documents, author Keith Herkalo retells the battles at Plattsburgh, the key battles of the War of 1812.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries the history of the Mohawk Valley has been shaped by the complex relationships among the valley's native inhabitants, the Mohawk Indians, and its colonists, starting with the Dutch. In Mohawk Country collects for the first time the principal documentary narratives that reveal the full scope of this Mohawk-settler interaction. Some of the sources have never before been translated into English, and several have not been previously published. Of those works that had been published, nearly all are out of print. The Mohawk location near Albany, New York put them at the center of transactions between the Iroquois and European colonists. (The Mohawk were one of the constituent nations within the League of the Iroquois.) These narratives-written by Dutch merchants, French Jesuit missionaries, English soldiers, romantic European travelers, and other literate observers-provide often biased but always fascinating accounts of the Mohawk and their valley. The reader is treated to over two centuries of history, starting with the arrival of the Dutch in the early seventeenth century to the planning of the Erie Canal in the early nineteenth century. These records bring to life the rapid changes experienced by both the Mohawk and their European neighbors. Wars, catastrophic epidemics, and the diplomacy of nearly two centuries are all well represented in this volume. Fascinating cultural differences are also unearthed: the French, for example, dealt with the Mohawk much differently than the Dutch or the English. Just as importantly, these writings reveal—from the unique perspectives of the observer—the Mohawk's struggle to retain their culture in the midst of evolving political, social, and physical environments.
