For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. 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. 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 (lumber mill); grinding corn into animal feed or for distilling alcohol (grist mill); grinding wheat or other grains (flour mill); creating boxes and other products from wood pulp (paper mill); fabricating metals (triphammer mill); powering industrial equipment (textile mill); and by the 1880s creating electricity via turbines.

Type The nature or genre of the resource Postcard Description An account of the resource Postcard shows view of a decrepit water wheel, almost certainly located at the outlet of Conesus Lake where it becomes Conesus Creek. If so, then the photograph shows remnants of what had been a broom-handle factory operated by L.P. West, then upgraded by Henry Spencer during the 1880s to include manufacture of pumps, ladders, and farm gates. Spencer also added steam power so as to continue operations during times of low water flow. But by 1895 or 1896 the business had faded away but not, as the photo suggests, interest in its picturesque water wheel.

Lenker is described as a "Florist and Nurseryman," although given Freeport's proximity to Manhattan he may have grown produce for the city as well. In addition to outdoor fields, several large greenhouses are part of the operation. The windmill may have been used to circulate air, but it's more likely to have operated an irrigation system. Today Freeport still "draws its water supply from eight operating wells that have been drilled into Magothy Aquifer at depths ranging from 500 feet to 640 feet. This aquifer, which was originally created by a glaciers action, is held in place by sand and pressure of the ocean water that surrounds Long Island" (<a href="https://www.freeportny.com/index.aspx?nid=36">Village of Freeport</a>).

Title A name given to the resource Allegheny Valley Farm During 1972 Flood Description An account of the resource Beginning June 22, 1972 slow-moving Hurricane Agnes made landfall in New York state and by the next day had deluged Southern Tier communities with heavy rains. Major rivers like the Allegheny, Genesee, and Susquehanna were many feet above flood stage--in some cases rising by seven inches per hour--and several towns declared evacuations. The damage was considerable: bridges, railway lines, businesses, homes, and farms were flooded. Following in a long American tradition, a rapidly published book of photos and descriptions was created to commemorate the event.

Title A name given to the resource Palisades (No. 19, Hudson River Portfolio) Description An account of the resource In the summer of 1820, Wall toured the Hudson River and painted a series of watercolors that then would be etched and issued to subscribers in series of four prints. The text accompanying this images reads: "The Pallisadoes consist of a line of rugged and perpendicular bluffs, which at a few miles distance from the city of New-York, margin for a considerable distance and overlook the bed of the Hudson river...Rising in savage grandeur, and stretching their tree-crowned summits far as the vision can compass, these rocks are too prominent a feature in the scenery of the Hudson to be overlooked. The shore...is abrupt, and the water sufficiently deep to allow vessels, even of considerable burthen, to approach within a short distance...The height of these bluffs....rising from 400 to 800 feet, exhibiting...steep and solid masses of stupendous stone, and presenting here and there deep cavities, where the eagle builds his nest among the cliffs."
