Episode 34
The Mohawk River valley of New York was one of many "frontier" areas that saw constant raiding and skirmishing during the American Revolution. We talk with Brian Mack, one of the volunteers bringing to life the Fort Plain Museum & Historical Park, about the Revolution along the Mohawk River and the impact it had on the indigenous peoples and European settlers who lived there. We talk about Sir William Johnson, Molly Brant and her brother Joseph Brant (Thayendaga), and Walter Edmunds' Drums Along the Mohawk, book and movie, as well as the Conferences the Fort Plain Museum hosts every year.
