The future of the valley of the upper Allegheny River was predetermined in the 1930s with talks of flood control. As time drew nearer for construction of Kinzua Dam, even the last protesters conceded their world was doomed. It was not the end of the world, but it was the end of their world, their way of life--for how can you infuse hope into the spirit of man when all is ordained to be taken from him? To those who intimately knew these times, perhaps the valleys are better known by what is gone than by what remains today. True, the past cannot be captured, but we may forever ponder the times lost--villages abandoned; farms without green fields; trees cleared and burned, as the fires set by the Corps rid the valleys and remote hamlets of the residue of human life. For centuries the Allegheny hills acted as stewards guarding, perhaps falsely, the destiny of the inhabitants. Kinzua Dam held back the Allegheny River as everyone and everything previously known vanished beneath it. As some witnessed the extinction of a valley, others marveled at the engineering of a great dam--for as Cornplanter discerned--upon the eternal scroll, time writes the passing.

In the late 1950s the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced its intention to construct a dam along the Allegheny River in Warren, Pennsylvania. The building of the Kinzua Dam was highly controversial because it flooded one-third of the Allegany Reservation of the Seneca Nation of Indians. Nearly six hundred Senecas were forced to abandon their homes and relocate, despite a 1794 treaty that had guaranteed them those lands in perpetuity. In this revealing study, Joy A. Bilharz examines the short- and long-term consequences of the relocation of the Senecas. Granted unparalleled access to members of the Seneca Nation and reservation records, Bilharz traces the psychological, economic, cultural, and social effects over two generations. The loss of homes and tribal lands was heart wrenching and initially threatened to undermine the foundations of social life and subsistence economy for the Senecas. Over time, however, many Senecas have managed to adapt successfully to relocation, creating new social networks, invigorating their educational system, and becoming more politically involved on local, tribal, and national levels.

The Kinzua Dam has cast a long shadow on Seneca life since World War II. The project, formally dedicated in 1966, broke the Treaty of Canandaigua of 1794, flooded approximately 10,000 acres of Seneca lands in New York and Pennsylvania, and forced the relocation of hundreds of tribal members. Hauptman offers both a policy study, detailing how and why Washington, Harrisburg, and Albany came up with the idea to build the dam, and a community study of the Seneca Nation in the postwar era. Although the dam was presented to the Senecas as a flood control project, Hauptman persuasively argues that the primary reasons were the push for private hydroelectric development in Pennsylvania and state transportation and park development in New York. This important investigation, based on forty years of archival research as well as on numerous interviews with Senecas, shows that these historically resilient Native peoples adapted in the face of this disaster. Unlike previous studies, In the Shadow of Kinzua highlights the federated nature of Seneca Nation government, one held together in spite of great diversity of opinions and intense politics. In the Kinzua crisis and its aftermath, several Senecas stood out for their heroism and devotion to rebuilding their nation for tribal survival. They left legacies in many areas, including two community centers, a modern health delivery system, two libraries, and a museum. Money allocated in a "compensation bill" passed by Congress in 1964 produced a generation of college-educated Senecas, some of whom now work in tribal government, making major contributions to the Nation’s present and future. Facing impossible odds and hidden forces, they motivated a cadre of volunteers to help rebuild devastated lands. Although their strategies did not stop the dam’s construction, they laid the groundwork for a tribal governing structure and for managing other issues that followed from the 1980s to the present, including land claims litigation and casinos.

This book presents memoirs of over forty years of hunting, camping and outdoor experiences at a remote rustic cabin located in a rugged area of Pennsylvania known as Kinzua Country. This cabin is located along a dirt logging road many miles from the main highway deep inside the Allegheny National Forest in Mckean County near the Kinzua Dam and Reservoir. The first section of this book recounts how a black bear interrupted the hunt of a large six point buck. The second section is about two young outdoorsmen using their skills honed from the Pennsylvania woods to venture deep into a much different type of wilderness for a moose hunt in a mountain region of Alaska. The third section focuses on the camp activities of the remote hunting camp in the Kinzua forest. The remaining sections involve hunting turkey, deer, bear and snow shoe rabbit. Anyone who has ever enjoyed roaming in the Pennsylvania forest absorbing all of its natural wonder will be captivated by reading this book.

The Village of Kinzua, Pennsylvania existed roughly one hundred sixty five years from 1801 until the construction of the Kinzua Dam in 1965 for the purpose of flood control.My grandfather, Ray Tuttle's ancestors arrived by canoe in 1801 to settle on a large island near the Senecas. Life was hard for these pioneers. They worked their farms, opened businesses, fell in love, worked some more, grew old and died. Kinzua was not just a place rich in history but also in deep, dark secrets. Amid the small town charm, things occurred you won't find in the history books. Our relatives were good people. But not always. After eight generations, Ray Tuttle and his neighbors were there to turn out the lights in the 1960's. Sadly, my generation will the last who will remember Kinzua. Thanks to old photographs and on line sources as well as residents who are good enough to share, Kinzua continues.
