...it was not a slim piece of work
Dave Northrup is editor of Hugh Donlon’s “The Mohawk Valley.” Written during the 1930’s when he was a reporter and columnist for the Amsterdam Evening Recorder, “The Mohawk Valley” is Donlon’s history of his native region from the end of the ice age to 1940.
...from The Daily Gazette
Hugh Donlon had started work on a book called “The Mohawk Valley” in 1932. He used one week of his two-week annual vacations to do research at valley libraries and archives. Home research was done at the dining room table. He typed the manuscript in a second floor office and bedroom at the family home, 13 Kimball St.
In the dedication, Donlon credits his sons, “Whose contribution to this book was undisturbed slumber through night hours while their father worked.”
