The Mills of Saugerties part 4

Part 4 of 4 - Pages From A History Atlas of Saugerties, Program #6 - The Mills of Saugerties - A history of the dam, canal and water powered mills of Saugerties, New York. Created by Michael Sullivan Smith, an historic preservation commissioner with the Town of Saugerties and a landmark review board member with the Village of Saugerties. This video was created to bring an awareness of the early Industrial Revolution mills, the period of the founding of the Village and the 1825 Barclay's Canal; a landscape feature which is the last remaining intact representative of the period. The video gives a background to qualify the canal as a cultural asset and states an argument for its preservation and listing as a local, State and National landmark. It is specifically designed to educate political and regulatory decision makers and activist organizations. A .pdf compilation of period texts used as source materials for the content of this video can be found for purchase at hopefarmbooks.com by clicking this link http://www.hopefarmbooks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Cod...

There seems to be a problem with part 2, had problems loading it.

Nice production. I was there and saw that huge paper-mill burn down back in the 1970s. I had no idea how old it was at the time... and man, it was cold that day!

I hope that no Luddites are trying to have that dam torn down. We have a problem with that in the west where I live now.

I'll try to get part 2 again later.

Unbelievably brilliant - great work Michael! If this doesn't save the landmark canal, nothing will. Thank you for all the research and hard work to create this documentation.
