Lost Industries of Saratoga County - Timothy Starr - Bog

Bag om Lost Industries of Saratoga County

The tourism trade has sustained itself in Saratoga County since the early 1800s, but this region also saw a vibrant industrial era that is often overlooked. At one time, this New York county hosted the nation's largest book paper mill, newsprint paper mill, tannery and paper bag manufacturer. In addition, it was home to such world-famous products as Button fire engines, Isaiah Blood hard edge tools, Eddy valves and various brands of mineral spring water. Timothy Starr provides the most complete history of the area's industrial age yet published. Discover the fascinating history of such little-known subjects as the Peebles Island bleachery, the mines of Greenfield, Edinburgh's woodenware factories and lumber drives on the Hudson River.
