About this title

Synopsis

Throughout recorded history, Oneida Lake has played an important role in the Central New York saga. Colonial travellers and traders used it for a primary water route, Native Americans fished it for survival and, in more recent years, its region has served as a major source for commercial and sport fishing, resort development, agricultural and lumbering activity and, of course, cross state navigation.
In this volume, Jack Henke gives the reader a brief history of all the named places around Oneida Lake--each point, bay, shoal, island and community is included.

About the Author

This is Jack Henke's second book on Oneida Lake. He has previously authored two editions of "Sylvan Beach--A History" and, in addition, has penned "Lawyers and the law in New York", a commemorative history for the New York State Bar Association's centennial. Henke received his bachelor's degree from Hamilton College and his master's from Brown University. He has lectured at numerous historical forums throughout Central New York. Currently, he thoroughly enjoys teaching social studies at Brookfield Central School and, of course, revels in Oneida Lake's marvelous Summers.
