Set against the backdrop of 1600s New York, this book delves into the early days of Troy, tracing its evolution from a wilderness inhabited by the Mohican tribe to a thriving industrial hub. It highlights key figures such as Uncle Sam Wilson, Amos Eaton, Emma Willard, and Kate Mullaney, who shaped the city's identity through entrepreneurship, education, and labor movements. The narrative captures the interplay of war, economic shifts, and innovation, while exploring Troy's historic streets and its diverse industrial legacy, including the production of detachable shirt collars.
