Discover how a thriving village grew from honest work, hard voyages, and shared places of trust.
This book traces Oneonta’s development from a frontier settlement into a bustling community through its shops, homes, churches, and schools. It weaves together the stories of merchants, traders, roadways, inns, and the people who built and sustained a growing town.
Across chapters that blend business and daily life, you’ll glimpse the early industries that shaped the village, from dry goods and hardware to mills, banks, and local newspapers. The narrative also highlights the people who laid the groundwork—clearing land, running taverns, and organizing churches—showing how a tight-knit community formed around work, faith, and neighborhoods.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
