LOOKING BACK: Utica's textile era plus
The textile age in Utica began in the 1840s. Utica sheets and Utica underwear and many more wearing items poured out of many factories around the city and in neighboring villages, too. Mills sprung up all over using coal from Pennsylvania via the Chenango Canal to produce the power to turn the steam mills. This replaced the need for water power from the Oriskany and Sauquoit Creeks. Years 1845-1945 were the heyday as the industry moved south starting after World War I and accelerating through the late 1950s. A surge of immigrants in the 1840s provided workers, many of whom were Germans, and later Irish and Polish.

Where I Wander – Interesting Rodent
Whereiwander… today it is not too far from home to a Beaver Meadow. Beavers (Castor canadensis) are fascinating rodents, and I am reminded of a memorable encounter with one when I was on a quest to see and photograph a moose at Helldiver Pond. This pond is located within the Moose River Recreational Area, and my husband and I had left home at four-thirty in the morning, as the moose was an early raiser and it was a long drive. As we and another couple waited quietly on the dock, I scanned the perimeter of the pond with my camera. We were all startled by the unexpected SLAP of a beaver’s tail, and at that very moment, I finally sighted the moose named Harold. I had been looking at him for several seconds but was so awed struck after looking and seeking a moose for more than thirty years that I couldn’t even utter a sound. The beaver’s tail slap broke the silence, and I pointed across the pond to the moose. Then we all got photos of Harold.
