I wish a man like this would write about the original Cassius Clay. A very great abolitionist

Great presentation on such an important story. Thank you Norm Dann for your research and story telling skills.

What did in Mohawk Airlines was I-90 the Mass. Pike and NY Thruway which made the total trip time about equal and far more convenient as well as I-88 to Binghamton and southern tier and the Northway from Albany to the border.

At 35:36 why no ring in the bulls nose ? No chain in his nose ??? With both.....you dont have mean bulls ! Put at least a 4ft chain in the bulls nose for starters.........and as long as 8 ft. long if that dont deter the bull ! No need for a free roaming bull ! With an 8ft chain in the bulls nose the can still run 15 miles per hour ! But for attacking. they step on the chain.... because they are use to inline walking only !

You.......your family is not doing the work !!!! Its called FAMILIES farm Lets stick to reality ....a " family " farm ! Enough of the warm and fuzzy family farmer ! Today.....my son is a family farmer. He has 30 cows... on 80 acres of land. This is where his income comes from. Not outside income ! Myself......I was a family farmer for 45 years. All the income came from the farm ! No outside income ! Milked up to 50 cows.............on 160 acres. Rotational grazed and only had 15 acres of " ear" per year. Total equipment cost was less then 60,000 dollars ........and as of today its still the same ! A handsome income of over 12,000 dollars per month....more then cover all costs ! Farmers need to learn its not about size * Trump " its about efficiency ! Get to work !

Well done. My great grandfather was Dr. William Arthur Young. He was a veterinary surgeon; I believe he began his practice with Dr. Hollingsworth. in 1920-'21 he was appointed as the first dairy and meat inspector for Utica, NY. This was one of the first programs of this type in the country. Dr. W Arthur Young also established the Fox Farm in Boonville, NY as Central New York Fur Company.

The evening honoring the inductees was marvelous! Fantastic venue (Irish Cultural Center) and wonderfully, a seemingly sold out event. Kudos to the staff for continuing the important work of documenting the deep and vibrant history here in Oneida County.

Thank you that. Was nice ❤❤❤😮😊😊😊😊

I had four ancestors from Camden that fought in this unit so it was very interesting to me. My direct ancestor was in the band and survived. That's why I'm here. Of the 3 others one was killed at Wilderness and the other two died at Andersonville.

There was actually a time when the Utica-Rome area had some muscle. KUCA had it's own regional airline headquartered on premises. Now, while other facilities such as Ithaca, Binghamton and Elmira are thriving; the Oneida County Airport at Oriskany is gone! I don't even believe that the runways still exist. I'm not going to factor Griffiss into this equation because its still kept up by US Military spending. When will the Utica-Rome region regain its identity?

people hire hispanics because they cheap labor. Americans want to get a LIVING wage for the work they do Hispanics will work for less and have 30 people in one house. the American dream is to work and own your own home, if we took wages the hispanics take, we would never have our own homes.

i love how the water management guy says ‘we help the farmer’. BS, u control the farmer to government ‘standards’. just like President Reagan said, if the governments says they are here to help, it is a lie!

I am lucky my house didn't touch my house

In the spring of 1979 I was on a business trip out of Plattsburgh going to Newark New Jersey. I switch planes from Plattsburgh at Albany to Empire airline ten passenger Navajo and we left Albany. I believe around 7 o’clock in the morning into Newark a little bit late we got caught in, heavy traffic circling around Newark, but we landed safely and I did make it to my meeting on time. I flew back into Albany on the same Empire airline Navajo with the same pilot and we left a little after 6 o’clock at Newark. The one pilot also served as a ticket taker boarding coordinator. He got up on the wings and checked the oil and then he got on board and proceeded to fly. One pilot was also our ticket taker in Albany and again in Newark our escort to the plane and also check the oil with the dipstick off the wing and a drizzle. It was a very interesting day of flying with the empire. It was one I never forgot and I did enjoy it.

This is all about the personalities who worked for Empire Airlines which didn't last long. The NY Thruway, I-90, I-81, and I-87 and 88 killed the need for short distance air service upstate New York. That also once developed killed Mohawk as well as business declines in Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo and other places.

Very interesting I loved every minute of it. Thank you.

Early New York had a lot of Black free Europeans and Indians living there.

Its all good this doesnt show any of the bad. There were some that didnt get any attention because of staff shortages and shortage of funds. Its not all good and when cuomo closed most every psyche ctr in the state he threw the mentally ill patients in the mix with mentally capable. Just as he put seniors in harms way by putting covid patients in nursing homes. Politics has zero place in medical treatment!!!

Great presentation. Loved it.

The F-28 was both a good and an awful addition to the fleet. On the one hand the Fokker F-28 was just the right size to move Empire into the jet arena. HOWEVER, the F-28 was an extremely poor performer in snowy conditions - to wit the two nearly identical takeoff stalls/crashes in 1988 and 1992 (the latter one involving a former Empire F-28 flying in USAir colors). Somewhat ironic considering the aircraft hails from The Netherlands. Personally I avoided them during winter months when I still lived north of Syracuse

This was very well presented, thank you

The small family-owned dairy farms are disappearing because the government controls the price for milk and those small farms can't survive on such little money. Commercial dairy farms i.e. grocery chains with their own farms, corporations etc. are the winners here, not the consumer. We pay high prices for milk, and the quality of milk produced by commercial dairies is bad. The focus is quantity not quality. Many dyeing dairy farms have converted to organic crops and thus have come back strong. Realtors are quick to point out land that is certified organic, now. It's the new era of farming in America. Progress? You decide.

Does Michael Fischer have any information on Henry Schott who was with the 146th on October 10, 1862? He was captured at a battle but do not know which battle. What I was told that he died at the white hospital, Wilmington, NC.

This presentation is insignificant.

Industrialization and "efficiency" has destroyed a beautiful peaceful way of life as a small farmer. I hate those giant confinement dairies milking around the clock. There goes another 15 or 20 small farms.

Shall I state the obvious in this story narrative.

Please improve the sound quality of these videos. It's very difficult to follow due to the echo. Thanks.

😊

Thank you for putting this together. Very well done 👏

An outstanding film. Period.

For promotional purposes, and emotional reward, we continue to portray and describe agriculture in only the most effusive and rewarding terms. At the same time, the practice of commercial agriculture lives under a pure and unrelenting economic reality which destroys communities and lives. We, as a people, have the power to enact public policies that look beyond the myopic short term gains a capital centered industrialized agriculture has shackled itself too- it has been done before- and dairy is still the likeliest place for such a change to re-emerge.

The Empire Airlines page in Wikipedia has recently been rewritten with a lot more info. It includes a reference back to this video.

Priceless! Thank you. It's one thing to imagine a Utica trolley and quite another to see one in action.

Very nice! I liked hearing about the west end brewery too

Nice job Janice. I take the hay from the farm now for the sheep and highlands

My mother‘s family were truck farmers from North Carolina. My father‘s family moved to the mountains of West Virginia in 1807. They bought 2000 acres of land. It was in the family until 2024. The farm was not owned by the men and the family, but by the women. My grandfather left the farm to fight in World War I . When he got out the army, he went to work in Clarksburg, West Virginia at Hazel Atlas glass factory where he met my grandma they had 13 children. Granddad’s family on the farm were great grandma Clara great granddaddy, William Skinner they had 16 children.

Good day from Ontario Canada Yes I am 74 & alot of these were memories. If everyone paid cash now wow Thanks for memories.

What are we celebrating all the iconic buissness we chased out of our city with our stupid tax policies. Savage Arms, General Electric, Remington.

Great overview video. I'm a huge fan!

Very nice enjoyed it. Thank you.

Who Knew?

Excellent video! Thank you. What a double whammy for Utica after WW2! Losing Savage and losing the textile mills. No wonder Utica went from 100k to 60k in just a few decades.

Thank you Derrick for your research, its a huge story that continues today

We are saddened to hear the passing of Mr. Thorpe

❤🇺🇸

My mother worked cabin crew with mohawk don't know what years cristeen o Connor

Love my Savage model 12
