About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Mohawk Valley, by W. Max Reid. Read by Roger Melin. An in-depth view and early history of the Mohawk Valley in upper New York state, covering the time period of 1609-1780. This historical piece covers that part of the Mohawk Valley between Schenectady and Rome, NY. The narrator hopes that the listener understands that a best effort has been made in pronunciation of many names within this work; particularly those of the Mohawks, Iriquois, Huron, and Mohicans; as well as the French and Dutch.
