The author provides detailed descriptions of source materials for study of the Schoharie River Valley region and the processes of cross-cultural interaction that are exemplified there. The data are rich in material about the processes of Euro-American settlement and the alienation of Native American land, and provide the potential for detailed study of individual Native Americans and Euro-Americans involved in those processes. The first portion of this work examines native occupation of the Schoharie River Valley. The second portion consists of a Calendar of Documents. Entries within the Calendar of Documents include the date of the document (if known), a description of the document, its source, and comments about the document. A full name and subject index adds to the value of this work which is based on research conducted for the Iroquois Indian Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Druke Becker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2006, 8.5\" x 11\", paper, 230 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788435966\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-B3596\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39394679914614,"sku":"101-B3596","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-b3596-1500px.png?v=1776802668"},{"product_id":"101-h3836","title":"William C. Bouck: New York's Farmer Governor","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith his thick German accent, William C. Bouck was known as the \"Dutch Governor\" of New York. Descended from German immigrants who arrived in Schoharie County in the early 1700s, Bouck attributed his frugality, work ethic, and character to his humble farm upbringing. As canal commissioner from 1821-1840, he was one of the most important men in the making of the Erie Canal. As governor and esteemed elder statesman in the 1840s, he was described as having \"good sense, prudence and discretion.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book describes Bouck's youth, public service, and his careers as farmer, canal commissioner, governor, and elder statesman. A brief Bouck family tree is included. Schoharie County historian Edward A. Hagan found no biography of Bouck and sometime in the 1980s, he set out to write one. When he died in 2002, he left five thick binders of research materials, notes, an outline and a brief text, probably for speeches. Mark Sullivan, another Schoharie County historian, accepted the task of completing the book. He reviewed Hagan's materials, did additional research, and expanded the summary.
