The Mohawk Valley - Gateway to the West

The Mohawk Valley -  Gateway to the West, by Nelson Greene, has no trouble qualifying as a set of tomes and a masterpiece of American historical chronicle, including extensive geological commentary. For anyone immersed in travels through New York or recreating in its abundant and scenic highlands, lithic formations, valleys and woodlands, the first four chapters are a fascinating reference. Rare as it is I did come across the set pictured here in a north Pennsylvania second hand bookstore but couldn't even begin to entertain the $900.00 "bargain" rate tag. No worries though - the entire history is available online at the Schenectady Digital History Archive. Click here to link to it: History of the Mohawk Valley
