Nine Half-Shire townships along the lower eastern shore of Lake
Ontario share a rich two-hundred-year history: Albion, Amboy,
Boylston, Orwell, Parish, Redfield, Richland, Sandy Creek, and
Williamstown. Northeastern Oswego County explores this region,
following its journey from rugged pioneer settlement through
forestry, agriculture, and brief industrialization into the
twentieth century. Highlighted are well-known and lesser-known
citizens, including steam wagon inventor Will Smart, the Castor
sisters, artist Milton Avery, entrepreneurs John Ben Snow and Harry
Moody, Case Wall builder Jerome Case, and Colonel Thomas Meacham,
who produced the "great cheese" presented to President Andrew
Jackson. Pictured are many fine examples of New England-style
churches and rural American architecture, Salmon River's majestic
falls, Albion's sand-covered Arabia district, Port Ontario's
ill-fated river port, the dune-side cottages of Sandy Pond, and the
sugar shacks on Tug Hill.
