About the book

Looking Back: Mohawk Valley II (Utica)

Throughout its nearly 200-year history, the Observer-Dispatch has told countless stories about the fascinating people who once lived and now live in the Mohawk Valley. It is a region rich with layers of history, culture and traditions, but it is the people who have made the area what it is. The pioneers who first came here in large numbers beginning in the 1780s – and the people who followed them in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries – were strong, determined and ambitious and what they created, and continue to create, is a place worth celebrating. “Looking Back, A Photo Retrospective of the Mohawk Valley – Volume 2,” does just that.

This second pictorial view of the Mohawk Valley includes not only photos from the archives of the O-D and the Oneida County Historical Society, but also photos submitted by area residents – including pictures of horse-drawn trolleys before the 1890s, the first train on the electrified West Shore Railroad that sliced east and west through the Mohawk Valley, knitting mills in West Utica and along Broad Street in East Utica, and the many shops and restaurants that dotted just about every street corner in town.

Open trolley cars in days of old were fine in pleasant weather, but not so comfortable when it rained. As the late Robert G. Gurley wrote in his 1964 booklet “Here Comes the Trolley!” - an illustrated history of the electric trolleys in Utica - side curtains kept most of the passengers dry during rain storms, but not so the motorman. He got wet. On summer days when all seats were filled, passengers were permitted to stand on “running boards” along the side of the car. Electric trolleys first appeared in Uti
