Title
A name given to the resource
Mills of Genesee Valley
Description
An account of the resource
Before the commercial extraction of fossil fuels from the Oil Creek region of northern Pennsylvania, most mechanical work in the Genesee Valley was done by human and animal power, or some source ultimately derived from the sun: burning wood, wind power, or flowing water. The exception to this, of course, was coal--by the 1880s America's dominant source of energy. <br /><br />Due to the Genesee region's ample supply of wood and running water, along with the cost of shipping coal, it's quite common to find instances of various water mills in the area's history. They were adapted to a wide range of uses: cutting wood into timber and milling it into specialized shapes (<strong>lumber mill</strong>); grinding corn into animal feed or for distilling alcohol (<strong>grist mill</strong>); grinding wheat or other grains (<strong>flour mill</strong>); creating boxes and other products from wood pulp (<strong>paper mill</strong>); fabricating metals (<strong>triphammer mill</strong>); powering industrial equipment <strong>(textile mill</strong>); and by the 1880s creating electricity via turbines.<br /><br />This collection gathers various documents concerning mills in the Genesee Valley. In addition to images and written texts, there is also an interactive map illustrating the density of their usage during the mid-nineteenth century.

Grand Canyon of the East--Historic Letchworth State Park
Description
An account of the resource
Mini-postcard album features ten views of the local attraction: Middle Falls, Mt. Morris Dam, Letchworth State Park Museum, Upper Falls, Glen Iris Inn, Statue of Mary Jemison, Inspiration Point, the "Scenic Gorge of the Genesee River," Lower Falls, and Wolf Creek.
The object also is notable for this specimen of tourist prose: "Long ago when the Seneca Indians were masters of a forest empire, this was Portage, the carrying place for war conoes. The beauty of the three great Falls and the magnificence of the gorge of the Genesee cast its spell over the untutored Red Man. The White men came and called the place 'The Grand Canyon of the East.'"
