Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the early history of a small town in New York state, a location that played a significant role in the turbulent relationship between the French and English colonies in North America. The author weaves together historical accounts, personal stories, and local lore to create a vibrant picture of the "Great Carrying Place," as the area was known before the arrival of European settlers. The book delves into the origins of the town, exploring the pivotal role it played in military expeditions during the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Readers will learn about the construction of Fort Edward, a strategic outpost built in 1755, and the tragic story of Jane McCrea, a young woman who was murdered by Indians during the American Revolution. The author provides detailed accounts of the settlers who established the town, their daily lives, and the challenges they faced in a frontier environment. The book offers valuable insights into the development of a community shaped by its historical significance, and its contributions to the broader story of the American frontier.
