In 1775\, General Washington gave Schuyler command over the New York Department of the Continental Army. He played a key role in the American victory at the Battle of Saratoga\, as well as in earlier campaigns\, including the Invasion of Canada\, and the Battles of Lake Champlain and Fort Ticonderoga. Schuyler also served as an Indian Commissioner\, attempting to gain the support of the Six Nations Confederacy against the British. \nJon Jasewicz is a historian primarily focused on the colonial period in New York’s Capital Region and Mohawk Valley. He has been a living historian for nearly a decade\, and has co-authored papers such as “‘Led Into The Fire Of The Whole Body Of The Enemy’: Archaeological Survey Of The Stone Arabia Battlefield 19 October 1780.” URL:https://theoldstonefort.org/calendar/philip-schuyler-presentation/ LOCATION:Badgley Museum Annex\, 145 Fort Road\, Schoharie\, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Events,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoldstonefort.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/schuyler-jj.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250308T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250308T150000 DTSTAMP:20250301T143128Z CREATED:20250123T003306Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250301T143128Z UID:10936-1741442400-1741446000@theoldstonefort.org SUMMARY:Skohere and the Birth of New York's Western Frontier 1609-1731 Volume III by Jeff O'Connor DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Badgley Museum Annex as local historian and author Jeff O’Connor delves into his latest book\, “Skohere and the Birth of New York’s Western Frontier 1609-1731 Volume III.” \nThe previous two volumes\, which have been heading toward the Palatine arrival and all the people and events connected to the Schoharie Valley or impacted its early colonial history\, coalesce in Volume III\, the last of the “Skohere and the Birth of New York’s Western Frontier 1609-1731” trilogy series. \nThe Palatine experiences from Europe to the Schoharie Valley are traced\, with emphasis on why they came\, what led them to think they had land set aside for them in the Schoharie Valley\, and what caused many to leave. Along the way\, their immigrant story impacts others who may be viewed as in their way or are helpful. Key to the narrative is the involvement of the Mohawk people\, especially chief Hendrick and the real events behind the Mohawk acceptance of the palatines in their country. \nThe narrative of the settlement of the Palatines in the Schoharie Valley is not a traditional one – the establishment of the dorfs\, the conflict with Adam Vrooman and the partners who bought the land beneath them\, and why many left for the Mohawk Valley and Pennsylvania\, are fully explored and challenge what has previously been known. \nWhat all three volumes add to the history of New York State is not only the first biography of the Schoharie Valley’s early colonial past\, but also its place in the greater movement from the Hudson River west into Haudenosaunee country. The Palatines pushed the western frontier further and faster than all that had been done in the 100 years prior to their arrival and made a lasting impact on how New York developed from a colonial province to a state.

It was not surprising to see an agent of the Anti-Slavery Society ready to give up on finding any traction in recruiting followers of the Anti-Slavery cause. He basically said let the dead bury the dead and he wasn’t sticking around for the funeral. However\, he found a little leaven in a surprising place. While those involved in the Underground Railroad did not leave a written history\, Esperance Town Historian Ken Jones will explore the leads\, clues\, and people related to possible Underground Railroad activity in the area.
