Tales of early railroads, like veins of historical gold, sparkle with rich nuggets of the nation's past, as well as enchanting images of small-town life. This is the story of one such vein: the Delaware & Hudson Railroad in the Tri Valley area of New York, along the path of old Route 7 and the Schohanna Trail. The stories of communities that grew up along the railroad--Oneonta, Colliersville, Maryland, Schenevus, Decatur, Worcester, East Worcester, Richmondville, Cobleskill, and Central Bridge--reveal historical treasures long buried in the archives of rural valleys and bustling towns. Pan for gold in the pictures of Tri Valley: Cobleskill to Colliersville and you will find nuggets such as these: the birthplace of the men who invented the fountain pen and the air brake; the sad legends of Manaho and Chief Schenevus; the clash between sentiment and commercialism, as a bank was built on the grave sites of Pres. James Garfield's ancestors; and the final resting place of Seth Flint, who was Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's bugler in the Civil War and at Appomattox.
