Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herkimer Village depicts the interesting history of this community through rare and vintage photographs. The village of Herkimer, incorporated on April 6, 1807, was the first village in Herkimer County and was named after Revolutionary War hero Gen. Nicholas Herkimer. First settled by the Palatine Germans in 1725, the village's ideal location at the juncture of the Mohawk River and West Canada Creek made it the focal point of the county, and it was soon designated the county seat. The village population grew with the development of mills and factories, prompting the construction of elaborate homes, churches, diverse shops, and the New York Central Railroad, which ran directly through the village center with four main line tracks. Herkimer Village provides a snapshot of the daily life and important events in this village's colorful and dynamic history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caryl Hopson and Susan R. Perkins collect historic narratives of murder and mayhem in Herkimer County. Herkimer County is steeped in history, from the settlement of the Mohawk Valley by Palatine German settlers to the flood of western migration with the opening of the Erie Canal. But the region also boasts an infamous history of high-profile homicides and crimes. Roxalana Druse murdered her abusive husband and became the last woman to be hanged in New York in 1887. The death of Grace Brown on scenic Big Moose Lake became one of the most famous cases in the country in 1906, inspiring author Theodore Dreiser's novel An American Tragedy. Psychological tests of intelligence were admitted into court for the first time in an acquittal of sixteen-year-old Jean Gianini in 1914.

This east-west waterway brought streams of people into the Mohawk Valley, people of rich diverse cultures and strengths. Over the years, canals, railways, and roadways encouraged further migration, transforming the valley into a vibrant and inviting place to live. Herkimer County: Valley Towns brings back the Main Streets of home-Herkimer, Little Falls, Dolgeville, Mohawk, Ilion, and Frankfort.

Out of those generations have come people of note, from Palatine Gen. Nicholas Herkimer to Mohawk's own Gregory Jarvis of Challenger fame.
