Gene Milener's new book "Oneonta" chronicles in rich detail the interesting transformation of a community for over a hundred years towards the Great Depression
Recent release "Oneonta" from Page Publishing author Gene Milener is an in-depth account that pens the fascinating stories, coupled with photographs, circling around the city of Oneonta and the many memorable journeys of this one railroad town.
RENTON, Wash., June 2, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gene Milener, a retired 11-year city historian who was also the city's bicentennial commission chairman; has completed his new book "Oneonta": a great read about the many adventures, encounters, and impressive stories about Oneonta and its settlers throughout the historic years.
Gene writes, "Oneonta is the only city in the large Central New York counties of Otsego, Delaware, and Schoharie. The earliest settlers in 1780 knew the place as a 'dammed hemlock swamp.' By 1930, it had become an established regional metropolis towering over all area localities. Oneonta is an exciting story, and this comprehensive book is a unique treasure. The big stories are all there, such as the turnpikes, Albany and Susquehanna Railroad, D&H, cigar rolling, normal school, Hartwick College, and more. Yet so are accounts of sidewalks, cemeteries, boardinghouses, Barn Hill, charity, piano manufacturer, and many others. Maybe more important still was the predominant thought about business affairs. There is much on that too. With rich detail and over 350 heavily annotated pictures, those 150 years to the Great Depression are described as never before and, most likely, never again."
Published by Page Publishing, Gene Milener's riveting book presents an insightful and detailed look into the events that paved the way for the development of this town over the decades. Situated 82 miles from Albany on the Susquehanna, this railroad city holds the grandest stories of old New York.
Readers who wish to experience this brilliant work can purchase "Oneonta" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
