14TH ANNUAL Emancipation Day Celebration - LAND OF THE ONEIDAS Author Signing

August 04, 2024 @ 1:00pm - 2:30pm

Daniel Koch will discuss his publication of Land of the Oneidas: Central New York State and the Creation of America, From Prehistory to the Present. At the National Abolition Hall of Fame & Museum.  Land of the Oneidas tells the story of the land and the people who made their homes there from its earliest habitation to the present day. The book examines this region's impact on the making of America, from its strategic importance in the Revolution and Early Republic to its symbolic significance now to a nation grappling with challenges rooted deep in its history. The book shows that in central New York—perhaps more than in any other region in the United States—the past has never remained neatly in the past.
