Download or read book Spanish American War Veterans with Connections to Schoharie County NY written by Karen Mclaughlin Cuccinello and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 150 men with families, farms and business' volunteered to leave their homes in upstate New York to fight for Cuba's independence in 1898. They were leaving everything that they were accustomed to for a salary of $15 per month. The biographies of these Schoharie County men includes first hand accounts of the war through letters home to loved ones, some illustrations, histories about their lives after the war and a basic family tree. The majority of the bios list the soldiers travels from start to finish, in other words birth to death (most were born in the 1870's). This book is about the real living and breathing men that went to the war, not an in-depth history of the war. The veterans, listed in alphabetical order, were either: born, died, lived, buried or had immediate family in Schoharie County. Of the 154 men who volunteered to serve: Four men died in the service to our country and three died from disease, about a dozen made the military a career, three lived into their 90's, the last of the three died in 1971, the oldest was born in 1845, two also served in the Civil War, seven also served in WWI, two also served in WWII, there were four sets of brothers, two father and son combo's and five went to West Point. Some of the men lived long and prosperous lives and some were not so fortunate. When I first started this project I figured I would just contact a military organization and get a master list of the Schoharie County guys who served, but this was most definitely not reality. There is no such list and no unit formed in Schoharie County so every guy had to be discovered individually through a multitude of sources . The information listed is everything that I could find from: newspapers (hard copy, online and microfilm), history books of the towns, Fold3.com, familysearch.com, US Military academy, conversations with historians, cemeteries, libraries etc. etc. The length of the bio depends on availability of information discovered. The initial call for volunteers began in 1898 for the Cuban part of the war but men continued to volunteer for conflicts in the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, Hawaii and China until about 1910.

Download or read book Murders Funky Stuff in Schoharie County written by Karen Cuccinello and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder & mayhem in little rural upstate New York; Yes it's true! From 1726 until 1974 about 35 murders hit the news in Schoharie County, NY. The book is loaded with pictures of actual newspaper articles. Some of the murders were sensational, some were swept under the rug and some are unsolved. I was a bit surprised at how many husbands killed their wives. The hills and valleys of the County also offered some rather interesting funky stuff too. When you look at the headlines in the newspaper, what is your eye drawn to first? Let's say there is a story about someone winning a million dollars, another about 200 new jobs and a murder. Most of us, I believe, look at the murder first. Why, I do not know but we do. Some of the convicted went to the gallows, some to the electric chair and a couple were even burned at the stake. I found a paper, compiled by a class at Hartwick College, NY, that listed 140 hangings in all of New York State from 1673-1890. The weird and unusual occurrences that took place in or near Schoharie County are sprinkled throughout the murders. Some of my favorites are the guy who tried to sell his wife for $25, the man who slept for five years, the booby trapped house and the supposed German spy. This book also chronicles the people and places that the bad guys were in contact with. There are pictures of the attorneys, jail and court houses that they frequented. It seems that, in the past, the Schoharie County jail did not have a very good reputation for keeping prisoners within their walls. I hope you enjoy what I have found in the news about the bad and or strange side of Schoharie County.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government wastes your tax dollars worse than a drunken sailor on shore leave. The 1984 Grace Commission uncovered that the Department of Defense spent $640 for a toilet seat and $436 for a hammer. Twenty years later things weren't much better. In 2004, Congress spent a record-breaking $22.9 billion dollars of your money on 10,656 of their pork-barrel projects. The war on terror has a lot to do with the record $413 billion in deficit spending, but it's also the result of pork over the last 18 years the likes of: - $50 million for an indoor rain forest in Iowa - $102 million to study screwworms which were long ago eradicated from American soil - $273,000 to combat goth culture in Missouri - $2.2 million to renovate the North Pole (Lucky for Santa!) - $50,000 for a tattoo removal program in California - $1 million for ornamental fish research Funny in some instances and jaw-droppingly stupid and wasteful in others, The Pig Book proves one thing about Capitol Hill: pork is king!
