Description
By: David E. Martin
Around Oswegatchie provides a vivid look at the lifestvle of an area of far northern New York State during the time that it depended primarily on an agrarian existence. In its early days, the town of Oswegatchie was subdivided numerous times into new townships. From Oswegatchie, Lisbon, Morristown, and DePeyster came artists, politicians, industrialists, inventors, and Civil War heroes people who left their footprints on a nation and helped make a better life for all.
David E. Martin is also the author of Ogdensburg and coauthor of Massena. For Around Oswegatchie, he has assembled images from the St. Lawrence County Historical Association, the village of Rensselaer Falls, and the town historians of Oswegatchie, Lisbon, and DePeyster. A longtime collector of vintage pictures, he is an active member of the St. Lawrence County Historical Association and works in conjunction with local museums and historical groups to bring the past into the present so that local heritage will not be forgotten.
The Images of America series celebrates the history of neighborhoods, towns, and cities across the country. Using archival photographs, each title presents the distinctive stories from the past that shape the character of the community today. Arcadia is proud to play a part in the preservation of local heritage, making history available to all.
