From a quiet river crossing to a humming mill town on the Erie Canal, Cohoes has lived many lives. Cohoes remembers its earliest days. In this richly detailed New York town history, Arthur H. Masten traces Cohoes, New York, history from its earliest settlement through the age of canals and factories, capturing the character of an upstate community at work and at home. Blending early American settlement history with vivid accounts of industrial growth in upstate New York, this classic nineteenth century local history follows land, water, enterprise and people as they shape a distinctive corner of Albany County history. It stands as a complete Cohoes history and a model local history reference book for anyone curious about 19th century New York and the rise of Erie Canal era towns. For family historians and researchers, Masten's careful naming of residents, institutions and events makes this volume an invaluable genealogy research resource and dependable local historians reference. First published in the late 1800s, it offers a contemporary voice on civic ambition, immigration, labour, religion and everyday life, preserving details long vanished from streets and memory. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Readers drawn to intimate, ground-level chronicles of place will find both narrative pleasure and documentary depth here, while classic-book collectors gain a cornerstone work of Cohoes and Albany County history, thoughtfully prepared for long-term enjoyment and study.
