Download or read book A History of Native American Land Rights in Upstate New York written by Cindy Amrhein and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complex and troubled history defines the borders of upstate New York beyond the physical boundaries of its rivers and lakes. The United States and the state were often deceptive in their territory negotiations with the Iroquois Six Nations. Amidst the growing quest for more land among settlers and then fledgling Americans, the Indian nations attempted to maintain their autonomy. Yet state land continued to encroach the Six Nations. Local historian Cindy Amrhein takes a close and critical view of these transactions. Evidence of dubious deals, bribes, faulty surveys and coerced signatures may help explain why many of the Nations now feel they were cheated out of their territory.

This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polly stayed by her husband Henry Hoag day and night through his illness that July of 1856. It seemed he had once again contracted cholera morbus. Henry suffered from nausea and stomach cramps that caused him intense pain. The doctors from Alabama Center were called, but despite all their efforts, Henry died. Three weeks later their six-year-old daughter Frances, displaying the same symptoms as her father, also died. Polly remarried that fall to a man named Otto Frisch. It would be a short marriage. Her new husband deserted her in October the following year. Shortly after he left, Polly and Henry's 21-month-old daughter Eliza Jane died of mysterious causes. The town's people of Alabama agreed that they saw no lack of attention on Polly's part towards Henry and the children. Then why, in November of 1857, was she indicted for killing her husband and daughters? The punishment for such a crime was the gallows. Would Polly be the first woman in Genesee County history to be hanged for murder? In 1856, in the rural town of Alabama, NY one woman's family suffered from multiple unexplained deaths. The town folk grew suspicious of the now remarried Polly Frisch. An investigation commenced, bodies were exhumed, an affair--exposed. Polly would be arrested for the murders of her first husband and daughters. Her fourteen-year-old son would testify against her. If found guilty, the punishment for such a crime was the gallows. Bread & Butter is the true story of Polly Frisch who poisoned her family with arsenic and the five trials it took to convict her.

Download or read book William Almon Wheeler written by Herbert C. Hallas and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An American success story about the life of William Almon Wheeler, a poor boy from Northern New York who became the nineteenth Vice President of the United States. William Almon Wheeler’s life is an American success story about how a poor boy living near the Canadian border in Malone, New York, achieved fame and fortune. Often referred to as “the New York Lincoln,” Wheeler was a lawyer, banker, railroad president, state legislator, five-term congressman, and the nineteenth Vice President of the United States under Rutherford B. Hayes. Using a variety of sources, including newspapers, letters, government reports, county histories, and biographies of Wheeler’s contemporaries, Herbert C. Hallas examines Wheeler’s role in shaping state and national public policy. Highlights include construction of the North Country and transcontinental railroads, the creation of the Adirondack and Niagara Falls state parks, the extension of voting rights in New York, the termination of racial civil war in Louisiana, and the curtailment of unnecessary government spending. The book traces Wheeler’s path as he wound his way through the minefields of county, state, and national politics and helped found the Republican Party, without compromising his integrity or religious principles. Hallas rescues Wheeler’s story from the dustbin of history. Along the way he debunks long-held myths about Wheeler and restores his place as an influential nineteenth-century political force.
