The Adirondack Foothills, which rise north of the Mohawk Valley, have charmed natives and visitors for more than a century with the beauty of their rolling farms, rushing trout streams, sparkling lakes and tidy villages. This series of related stories explains how the foothills evolved from a wilderness inhabited only by wandering Native Americans to the present prosperous area of dairy farms, busy villages and excellent schools.

The magnificent and thoroughly enchanting mid-Adirondack region lured a hardy type of settler. Bravery and heroism were needed as this isolated existence yielded at times to the cruelties of nature. Slowly the inhabiants developed a mingled culture and lore shared by few other sections of the country. These are the stories of these unique individuals.

Throughout recorded history, Oneida Lake has played an important role in the Central New York saga. Colonial travellers and traders used it for a primary water route, Native Americans fished it for survival and, in more recent years, its region has served as a major source for commercial and sport fishing, resort development, agricultural and lumbering activity and, of course, cross state navigation.In this volume, Jack Henke gives the reader a brief history of all the named places around Oneida Lake--each point, bay, shoal, island and community is included.
