Killing in the Kuyahoora Valley is the true story of a murderous attack in 1914 by a teenager in the village of Poland, New York. Kuyahoora, the native-American name for West Canada Creek, is located in Herkimer County. Poland, in the southern Adirondack foothills, is about 15 miles northeast of Utica. The death of petite schoolteacher Lydia "Lida Lou" Beecher at the hands of a former student proved to be a landmark case--the first to cite intelligence on the same level as insanity in determining a defendant's guilt or innocence. America's courts would never be the same. The viciousness of the crime, the intensity of the trial, and worst of all, the indifference and arrogance of the killer were all reasons why a public mania surrounded the proceedings every step of the way. In the wake of the Chester Gillette-Grace Brown story, the Jean Gianini case assumed the moniker, "Trial of the Century." It's a remarkable, true, and disturbing story of how evil can sneak up on those unaware, how successful family men sometimes hide the darkest of secrets, and how juries can be manipulated by silver-tongued attorneys.

Once known as the Kuyahoora River, the West Canada Creek flows from the southern Adirondacks into the Mohawk River at Herkimer. Kuyahoora Towns provides a snapshot view of the early days in the Kuyahoora's four valley and upland towns: Fairfield, Newport, Norway, and Russia. It further explores the villages and surrounding countryside of Fairfield, Norway, Gray, Cold Brook, Russia, Poland, Gravesville, Newport, and Middleville. The book highlights the cheese industry, Fairfield Academy with its medical college, the invention of the Yale Lock, and the area's beautiful limestone bridges, homes, and churches.

Hailed as one of the best books of ghost stories in the country when it was first published in 1959, Things That Go Bump in the Night is a timeless record of haunted history and restless spirits. Comprising over two hundred stories, the volume is a comprehensive archive of supernatural legends. Yet despite the wealth of observed psychic phenomena, Louis C. Jones underscores the importance of the transmission of oral traditions that continue to have a vigorous life of their own. The book reveals how the stories of ghosts are kept alive from generation to generation through their telling and retelling from Native American legend, the French and Indian wars, and the Civil War to the early days of the Erie Canal and World War II.

The People & Places of the Adirondacks collection contains a variety of story types: original works of hard history, the lives of unusual people, noteworthy accomplishments, groundbreaking inventions, remarkable mishaps, oddities, and humor. They all have one thing in common: each is rooted in the North Country, defined here as the Adirondacks and foothills. The region's past is filled with relative or complete unknowns who were, in fact, highly accomplished individuals. Many of the chapters here reveal their stories, which are well worth preserving. Those and others are presented with a purpose that is threefold: to educate, amuse, and entertain. In this volume: Hats for Horses: Was it Really a Thing? You Bet!; The Mandrake Tupper Family's Remarkable Civil War Record; Chicken Theft: Once a Prison-Worthy Crime; Catamount Mountain: A Dynamite Movie Role; Homing Pigeons in the Adirondacks; Eddie "Phat Boy" Babbage: Big, Bold, and Beloved; The Greatest Rescue in Adirondack History; An Adirondack Photograph Makes Newspaper History; Ticonderoga Canines: Doggone Good Friends; Lake Champlain Fishing Shanties: Faster than a Speeding Bullet ...; John C. Austin: Wanted--But was He Dead or Alive?; No Bones Were Broken: True Tales of Tumbling Linemen; Rouses Point, Border Village: So Many Famous Visitors!; Garrett Cashman: The Birdman of Albany; George Cheney: Pioneer Recorder of World Music; Fecund Families of the North Country; Henry Harrison Markham: Wilmington to West Coast Governor; Rooftop Highway Déjà Vu; The Dueling Sheriffs of Hamilton County; Robert Emmett Odlum: Public-Safety Daredevil; Thomas William Symons: Building America from Coast to Coast; Rock Eaters? No Way ... But Anything Else Will Do!; Adirondack Swindles: Deceptive and Detestable; North Country vs. KKK: Battling in the Streets; It was Nearly Pok-O-Rushmore!; John L.

Here for the first time is a complete look at Prohibition in northern New York: the shootings, killings, wild pursuits, gunplay at levels never seen before or since, corrupt lawmen, scofflaws, stills, Bootleg Kings, border runners, humorous incidents, ingenious smuggling techniques, hundreds of speakeasies, thousands of arrest stories, and more. Volume 1 covers the first half of Prohibition.Also revealed is northern New York's critical role in the repeal of Prohibition nationally. Two main sources that neither state nor federal enforcement organizations could plug were the offshore ships known as Rum Row (near New York City), and bootleggers crossing the state's border with Canada, especially the 63-mile land border with Quebec. Together they slaked the thirst of millions of New Yorkers, including those in the Big Apple.As the most populous and liberal state, New York led the resistance to Prohibition. It was often said that, "As New York goes, so goes the nation." And so it was. New York went against Prohibition, and after 14 tumultuous, violent, incredible years, the nation repealed a constitutional amendment-the only time that has ever happened in US history.

Things That Go Bump in the Night, first published in 1959, is a fascinating collection of some of the many ghost and haunted house stories and places of New York state. Traditional folksy ghost stories collected by the author and his students while he was teaching at Cornell. Some of these stories made me want to visit the places mentioned. The author said that he didn’t change any of the place names but he did change names of people so tracking down the particular stone house somewhere between Middleville and Norway becomes problematic since limestone was a popular building material in that area.
