History of the Mohawk Valley: Gateway to the West, 1614-1925, Covering the Six Counties of Schenectady, Schoharie, Montgomery, Fulton, Herkimer and Oneida. in Four Volumes.

Complete in four hardcover volumes. Green cloth, gilt titles, marbled edges and endpapers. "According to the late historian Paul Keesler of Newport, no one published more information on the Mohawk Valley than Nelson Greene. Keesler wrote, 'Considering the astounding amount of information he gathered and published in 1925 when communications, travel and publishing technologies were relatively primitive, it is amazing how few errors there are in his books... It was from Nelson that I learned that if not for the Mohawks and Sir William Johnson, we could well be a part of French speaking Canada, and that the Battle of Oriskany really did affect the outcome of the Revolutionary War."
