Oneida Lake

Throughout recorded history, Oneida Lake has played an important role in the Central New York saga. Colonial travellers and traders used it for a primary water route, Native Americans fished it for survival and, in more recent years, its region has served as a major source for commercial and sport fishing, resort development, agricultural and lumbering activity and, of course, cross state navigation.In this volume, Jack Henke gives the reader a brief history of all the named places around Oneida Lake--each point, bay, shoal, island and community is included.
