But underneath this fair faade lies a sordid past, rife with tales of killings and cunning, like the man who slashed his wife to death after instructing a constable to close the door and depart; a robbery that descended into the brutal axing of a mother and her two small children; the unsolved case of a young woman bludgeoned to death on school grounds in an upscale neighborhood; and the gruesome poisoning of one man at the hands of his son, his wife and her lover. Join author Cheri Farnsworth as she investigates these and other notorious cases of murder and mayhem in New York's North Country. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Thousand Islands' very name conjures up images of great natural beauty and nautical wonders. They are forested islands replete with storybook stone castles. Exquisite mahogany runabouts can be seen speeding across the placid surface of the mighty St. Lawrence. Names like Boldt, Bourne, Emery, Lyon, and Pullman are embedded in the Golden Age of the area, and it all comes to life in this pictorial history of the river. Images of America: Wooden Boats of the St. Lawrence River tells the story of the rich and powerful men who constructed castles and built classic wooden boats in the Thousand Islands. At the center of the story loom David and Charlie Lyon. A descendant of the Lyon family, David Kunz, tells this story through historical photographs. David is the great-great-nephew of Charles Potter Lyon and Helen Griffin Lyon. Bill Simpson, whose first visit to the Thousand Islands was in the fall of 1976, is a novelist and publisher of Simpson Books. The majority of the photographs in this book are from the Lyon Archives on Oak Island"--

Book excerpt: Part genealogy and part history, this book tells the fascinating story of Marion Tiernan's family, emigrants from County Meath, Ireland, who arrived in northern New York in the 1820s. Among the earliest settlers of Waddington, Madrid, and Norfolk, their stories unfold with descriptions of their home parishes, journey to New York, and life on the frontier. Most of the families established farms in Saint Lawrence County, an area of subsistence farming that became an important dairy farming region. This book contains a deeper historical context and includes more neighboring families than the typical family history.Chapter 1 reviews County Meath's history up until 1800 when Marion's great-grandparents, Thomas Tiernan & Bridget Duffy, were born. Chapter 2 describes the economy and situation of Catholic tenant farmers. Chapter 3 describes the persecution of the Catholic Church following Cromwell's conquest and the gradual recovery of the church. Details for the home parishes of many of the families are given.Genealogical material begins in Chapter 4 with the Michael Duffy & Ann Cormick family, Marion's paternal great-great-grandparents. The Duffys and other families emigrated in the 1820s. Chapters 5 to 7 present the history of the St. Lawrence Region, frontier conditions in Waddington and Madrid, the ocean voyage, and travel on the St. Lawrence River. Chapters 8 and 9 cover neighboring families that immigrated at this time. Chapter 10 presents conditions and events in Ireland from 1820 to 1845, and Chapter 11 describes the years of the Great Famine. Chapter 12 returns to the genealogical material with the Thomas Tiernan & Bridget Duffy family. It includes a speculative account of their experience in Ireland leading up to the Great Famine. Chapters 13 to 21 cover the remaining families in Marion Tiernan's line in rough chronological order. The final chapter reveals Marion's own journey, from the Bellhurst Club in Geneva, New York, to Miami Beach, Lake Tahoe, and Carson City. Readers who are descendants of these families will discover their Irish roots, and family history researchers will profit from the broad picture of Irish settlement in Saint Lawrence County and numerous connections to Irish sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a book that highlights the existence and diversity of Amish communities in New York State, Karen M. Johnson-Weiner draws on twenty-five years of observation, participation, interviews, and archival research to emphasize the contribution of the Amish to the state's rich cultural heritage. While the Amish settlements in Pennsylvania and Ohio are internationally known, the Amish population in New York, the result of internal migration from those more established settlements, is more fragmentary and less visible to all but their nearest non-Amish neighbors. All of the Amish currently living in New York are post-World War II migrants from points to the south and west. Many came seeking cheap land, others as a result of schism in their home communities. The Old Order Amish of New York are relative newcomers who, while representing an old or plain way of life, are bringing change to the state. So that readers can better understand where the Amish come from and their relationship to other Christian groups, New York Amish traces the origins of the Amish in the religious confrontation and political upheaval of the Protestant Reformation and describes contemporary Amish lifestyles and religious practices. Johnson-Weiner welcomes readers into the lives of Amish families in different regions of New York State, including the oldest New York Amish community, the settlement in the Conewango Valley, and the diverse settlements of the Mohawk Valley and the St. Lawrence River Valley. The congregations in these regions range from the most conservative to the most progressive. Johnson-Weiner reveals how the Amish in particular regions of New York realize their core values in different ways; these variations shape not only their adjustment to new environments but also the ways in which townships and counties accommodate-and often benefit from-the presence of these thriving faith communities.

With vintage photographs, Massena documents the people, places, and events that shaped this northernmost New York State town. Shown are early sightseers and seekers of health from the mineral springs; the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa), which arrived before Reynolds Metals; General Motors; and, of course, the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Projects. The images for Massena come from the archives of the Massena Museum. Massena native Theresa S. Sharp, town and village historian, is in her sixteenth year at the museum. David E. Martin, who is also the author of Ogdensburg, is a longtime collector of northern New York images. He serves the St. Lawrence County Historical Society and museums throughout the area, using his photographic skills to reproduce long-lost positive images from glass-plate negatives and to preserve other historical images.

Book excerpt: In September 1928, two days before Yom Kippur, a four-year-old Christian girl disappeared in the town of Massena, New York (near the Canadian border). A rumor spread that the child, Barbara Griffiths, was kidnapped by Jews who "needed some Christian blood" for their holiday. The rumor probably originated in the immigrant milieu, but both Mayor W. Gilbert Hawes and the senior State Trooper Harry McCann believed it. Authorized by these two men, the town's vigilants, most of them Klansmen, arranged a search in the house of one of the Jews who were suspect. Rabbi Berel Brennglass was summoned to police headquarters for interrogation. A pogrom was anticipated. Two hours before the Yom Kippur service Barbara was found, but this failed to dispel the aggressive atmosphere in the town. Despite the mayor's apologies, the locals boycotted the Jewish trade during the following two weeks. Massena's Jews turned to Louis Marshall of the American Jewish Committee and to Stephen Wise of the American Jewish Congress for assistance, but the rift between the two egocentric Jewish leaders thwarted an effective resolution of the incident. The Massena incident dissuaded local Jews of the idea that "it could not happen in America".
