Abstract: Butlers of the Mohawk Valley: Family Traditions and the Establishment of British Empire in Colonial New York Historians follow those tributaries of early American history and trace their converging currents as best they may in an immeasurable river of human experience. The Butlers were part of those British imperial currents that washed over mid Atlantic America for the better part of the eighteenth century. In particular their experience reinforces those studies that recognize the impact that the Anglo-Irish experience had on the British Imperial ethos in America. Understanding this ethos is as crucial to understanding early America as is the Calvinist ethos of the Massachusetts Puritan or the Republican ethos of English Wiggery. We don't merely suppose the Butlers are part of this tradition because their story begins with Walter Butler, a British soldier of the Imperial Wars in America.

The High River Energy Center (Project) will have a generating capability of 90 megawatts (MW) of power located in the Town of Florida, Montgomery County, New York (Figures and 1 and 2). A Project Review Form is also attached and a new project entry has been made in the Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS). Project facilities will include commercial-scale solar arrays, access roads, buried (and possibly overhead) electric collection lines, and electrical interconnection facilities located within an approximate 1,000-acre site (the Project Area). High River Energy Center anticipates the interconnection facilities will include a 115-kV substation, which will be transferred to National Grid to own and operate. The substation and point of interconnection switchyard will be located on land northeast of the solar arrays within the Project Area, adjacent to National Grid’s existing Line # 12 Stoner – Rotterdam 115 kV transmission line. TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) has been retained by High River Energy Center, LLC to provide environmental review and licensing services in support of the Project.

This document highlights the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation’s (OPRHP) achievements during 2011, and sets forth recom- mendations for New York’s state parks and historic site for the coming year. The past year has, in many ways, been transformative for New York’s state parks and historic sites. To your credit and the credit of Commissioner Harvey and agency em- ployees, state parks and historic sites were open and more than 50 million people came to escape, explore and experience all that we have to offer. At the same time, the agency continues to respond to the severe economic challenges facing our state. Whether it is through new operational partnerships with municipali- ties, an increased role of volunteer friends groups or a more streamlined management model, OPRHP has proven to be both agile and creative as it works to get through these difficult times.

  • Download the Touring the Chuctanunda
    Touringouring thethe NorthNorth ChuctanundaChuctanunda CreekCreek The North Chuctanunda Creek Tour Guide is an educational and recreational project of the Montgomery County Water Quality Committee (MCWQC) This guide provides information about the stream to encourage people to visit the Chuctanunda and to share our concern about the quality of the creek and the environment. Touring the North Chuctanunda Creek Introduction Welcome to an approximately four-mile walk (one-way) that includes twenty bridges and eleven waterfalls or dams. The walk starts at the Mohawk River and follows the North Chuctanunda Creek (the Creek) to Shuttleworth Park. If the Creek could talk, it would chronicle the history of Native Americans, European settlers, and the Industrial Revolution. The North Chuctanunda Creek was chosen as an educational and recreational project. Some places along the Creek are still peaceful and serene and other places have changed so much that they hardly resemble a natural creek. This guide provides information about the stream to encourage people to visit the Chuctanunda and to share our concern about the quality of the Creek and the environment. A map is included to help you find your way and friendly residents will often help with directions. You may take the entire tour or walk a small section. We start our tour at the Mohawk River and walk uphill, but you may also begin at Shuttleworth Park and walk down- hill. During flood stage, please respect the power of the Creek and do not get too close. Some of the streets mentioned in the tour have no sidewalks and will require extra care.
