SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Soul of Central New York - Syracuse Stories with Author Sean Kirst
DESCRIPTION:A group of strangers risk death along the New York State Thruway to save a soldier from a burning truck. The true story\, as told by football legend Jim Brown\, of how the number 44 rose to prominence at Syracuse University. The beautiful yet tragic connection between Vice President Joseph Biden and Syracuse. The impossible account of how Eric Carle\, one of the world’s great children’s authors\, found his way to a childhood friend through a photograph taken in Syracuse more than eighty years ago. \nAll these tales can be found in The Soul of Central New York\, a collection of columns by Sean Kirst that spans almost a quarter-century. During his long career as a writer for the Syracuse Post-Standard\, Kirst won some of the most prestigious honors in journalism\, including the Ernie Pyle Award\, given annually to one American writer who best captures the hopes and dreams of everyday Americans. \nFor Kirst\, his canvas is Syracuse\, an upstate city of staggering beauty and profound struggle. In this book\, readers will find a nuanced explanation of how Syracuse is intertwined with the spiritual roots of the Six Nations\, as well as a soliloquy from a grieving father whose son was lost to violence on the streets. In these emotional contradictions―in the resilience\, love\, and heart-break of its people―Kirst offers a vivid portrait of his city and\, in the end\, gives readers hope. \nReviews: (via Amazon) \n– Sean elegantly and accurately captures the spirit\, resilience\, and aspirations characterizing the souls of Upstate New York. (Mayor Stephanie A. Miner Syracuse\, New York) \n–  Kirst not only shares with readers his love and passion for the people\, places\, and voices of his hometown\, but captures the essence of what it is to be a community. (Jason Emerson author of Giant in the Shadows: The Life of Robert T. Lincoln) \n– Sean Kirst is a master storyteller. The sheer beauty of any Sean Kirst column is what you learn from the people he introduces you to. There are no strangers in this book; Sean makes you feel like you’ve known them all. There is quiet wisdom and eternal hope on every page. And\, pride too … because the men\, women and children in these stories have lived among us in Central New York: They’re our neighbors. These are stories of life’s simple pleasures enjoyed and incredible odds overcome. Some life lessons and timeless human values can only be learned when one generation tells its stories to the next. That’s what Sean Kirst does so magnificently well. This collection is truly a treasure. (Dan CummingsAnchor/Reporter WSYR-TV) \n– Sean Kirst has frequently been called an extraordinary storyteller\, and The Soul of Central New York: Syracuse Stories by Sean Kirst certainly conveys Sean’s ability to capture the reader’s attention through powerful\, life-changing stories. However\, reading this book will show you that Sean is much more than a storyteller. He is a truth teller\, and his writing does more than entertain or influence. Sean’s writing is profound and gently but firmly calls us to acknowledge pain and injustice and to commit to do something about it. If you read one book this year\, make it this one. (Randi Bregman Executive Director of Vera House\, Inc.) \n– Kirst demonstrates an extraordinary connection with his readers and subjects. How wonderful it would be for any community to have such an artful chronicler of its poignant moments. (Janice Bullard Pieterse author of Our Work Is But Begun: A History of the University of Rochester\, 1850–2005) \n– Every time I talk to Sean\, I learn something about myself. His deep\, long-range understanding of people and the city of Syracuse is a beautiful thing. Every city should have a Sean Kirst. (Jason Benetti\, Chicago White Sox TV announcer and former Syracuse resident) \n– Anyone lucky enough to read Sean Kirst’s columns over the past 25 years know he’s truly the Bard of Upstate America\, sharing stories of love\, loss\, friendship and fealty that tell the modern history of our region. The Soul of Central New York gathers the best of these stories\, led by familiar characters like Jim Boeheim to the quiet heroes of our community\, in a collection that captures a place and people whose beauty are both ever-fleeting and ever-present. (Jimmy Vielkind Albany Bureau Chief\, POLITICO)

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club - "Hot Time in the Old Town: The Great Heat Wave of 1896 and the Rise of Roosevelt" by Edward P. Kohn
DESCRIPTION:This November\, OHA Book Club will discuss Hot Time in the Old Town: The Great Heat Wave of 1896 and the Rise of Roosevelt by Edward P. Kohn. \nFrom Amazon\nOne of the worst natural disasters in American history\, the 1896 New York heat wave killed almost 1\,500 people in ten oppressively hot days. The heat coincided with a pitched presidential contest between William McKinley and the upstart Democrat William Jennings Bryan\, who arrived in New York City at the height of the catastrophe. As historian Edward P. Kohn shows\, Bryan’s hopes for the presidency began to flag amidst the abhorrent heat just as a bright young police commissioner named Theodore Roosevelt was scrambling to mitigate the dangerously high temperatures by hosing down streets and handing out ice to the poor. \nA vivid narrative that captures the birth of the progressive era\, Hot Time in the Old Town revives the forgotten disaster that almost destroyed a great American city. \nFrom Publishers Weekly\nFor 10 hellishly hot days in August 1896\, the poorly ventilated tenement blocks of immigrant New York were transformed into massive ovens: horses dropped dead in the streets and nearly 1\,300 people perished. That same week\, William Jennings Bryan\, a promising prairie populist from Nebraska and the Democratic Party’s choice for president\, launched his opposition to William McKinley and set out on a cross-country campaign tour\, and a police commissioner named Theodore Roosevelt hosed down the streets\, desperately trying to bring down the temperatures. Kohn (The Kindred People)\, professor of American studies and literature at Bilkent University in Turkey\, splices these stories together\, but the union feels forced\, and any correlation of Bryan’s downfall (a clumsy\, momentum-killing speech at Madison Square Garden) with the heat wave is tenuous. “It is in the nature of heat waves to kill slowly\,” writes Kohn\, “with no physical manifestation\, no property damage\, and no single catastrophic event that markets them as a disaster.” He succeeds in bringing this little-known tragedy to light\, but it is weakened rather than strengthened by the addition of an election narrative.\nCopyright © Reed Business Information\, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club - Quoting Matilda by Sue Savion
DESCRIPTION:In October\, the OHA Book Club will be discussing Quoting Matilda by Sue Savion. Though Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton are well-known historical names\, that of Matilda Joslyn Gage usually evokes the response\, “Who?” Yet\, this amazing woman contributed equally for many years as part of a triumvirate with Anthony and Stanton. Matilda was involved in the women’s movement from 1852 until her death in 1898. She became a noted speaker and writer on woman’s suffrage. She was born in upstate New York to an abolitionist family. Indeed\, her childhood home and her later Greek Revival home (now a museum dedicated to her) in Fayetteville\, New York were both stops on the Underground Railroad. She was best known for her feminist and suffragist activities\, but she was “written out of history” for many years\, because she was considered by her peers to be too radical in all she proposed to accomplish. Inspired by the Haudenosaunee women who were her neighbors and who adopted her into their wolf clan\, she was determined to gain the rights of property ownership\, governance and equality of power for her 19th century sisterhood. She fought for the rights of Native Americans and enslaved persons and anyone else impacted by government control. She championed women inventors and was the inspiration behind her son-in-law L. Frank Baum’s 14 Oz books. She had a life-long desire for justice and equality for all and was connected to the ideas of Theosophy. This moved her to take on the inequality of women in religious institutions. Along with Stanton\, Gage published The Woman’s Bible. Her book\, Women\, Church and State was judged as “going too far” by many.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Alanis Obomsawin
DESCRIPTION:Obomsawin will talk about the intersection of art and activism\, drawing on her long career as a filmmaker\, singer-songwriter and visual artist. Catered lunch to follow. Free admission. \nMore about Obomsawin via The Canadian Encyclopedia \nCommitted to redressing the invisibility of Aboriginal peoples\, Alanis Obomsawin’s filmmaking style resides in the unique ability to pair Aboriginal oral traditions with methods of documentary. Amisk andMother of Many Children\, produced and directed in 1977\, combine interviews with music\, dance\, drawings and archival images to validate the history of Aboriginal peoples across Canada. Of her films on young people\, Richard Cardinal: Cry from a Diary of a Métis Child(1986) is the best known\, and perhaps the most striking. A dramatic account of a young boy’s suicide\, it led to a government report on social services for Indigenous foster children in Alberta\, though little has been done to alleviate such promlems. \nHer films have documented the work of Aboriginal organizations to help young people overcome alcohol and drug abuse (Poundmaker’s Lodge: A Healing Place\, 1987)\, and provide services to homeless Indigenous peoples in Montréal (No Address\, 1988.) Her films on the struggles of the Mi’kmaq over fishing rights (Incident at Restigouche\, 1984) and the Mohawk-government standoff at Oka in 1990 (Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance\, 1993) have been widely acclaimed\, and have brought Obomsawin national and international recognition.

SUMMARY:Meet the Artists - Reviving Place: Onondaga Lake Watershed Community Mapping
DESCRIPTION:The Onondaga Environmental Institute\, the Onondaga Historical Association and the Ska-nonh – Great Law of Peace Center are pleased to announce a special event with the artists behind the Reviving Place Exhibition on Friday\, September 30th at the Ska-nonh Center. Artists Sandra Fioramonti-Sabene\, Roland Powless\, Kamiiron Pritchard and Kate Woodle will be on hand for informal conversation from 6:00pm-8:00pm.  Gain their thoughts and perspectives on creating paintings that encompass community values and visions of the Onondaga Lake Watershed. This event is free and open to the public. \nThe Reviving Place: Onondaga Lake Watershed Community Mapping exhibit showcases four original works of art that were developed as part of a multi-year-long project which asked communities\, geographically located within the large Onondaga Lake watershed\, what they found unique\, special or important about their particular neighborhoods\, locales and environments.  The findings were then translated to an original visual graphic by talented local artists who sought to capture the community input and reflect what those communities viewed as important and which elements helped provide an identity that would be missed if it were gone?”  Their responses were then visually rendered by local artists in the community maps on exhibit. \nLearn more about the exhibit.

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club - A Clearing in the Distance: Frederick Law Olmsted and America in the 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:The OHA Book Club will discuss A Clearing in the Distance: Frederick Law Olmsted and America in the 19th Century by Witold Rybczynski. In a brilliant collaboration between writer and subject\, Witold Rybczynski\, the bestselling author of Home and City Life\, illuminates Frederick Law Olmsted’s role as a major cultural figure at the epicenter of nineteenth-century American history. \nWe know Olmsted through the physical legacy of his stunning landscapes—among them\, New York’s Central Park\, California’s Stanford University campus\, and Boston’s Back Bay Fens. But Olmsted’s contemporaries knew a man of even more extraordinarily diverse talents. Born in 1822\, he traveled to China on a merchant ship at the age of twenty-one. He cofounded The Nation magazine and was an early voice against slavery. He managed California’s largest gold mine and\, during the Civil War\, served as the executive secretary to the United States Sanitary Commission\, the precursor of the Red Cross. \nRybczynski’s passion for his subject and his understanding of Olmsted’s immense complexity and accomplishments make his book a triumphant work. In A Clearing in the Distance\, the story of a great nineteenth-century American becomes an intellectual adventure. \nAmazon.com Review\nFrederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) is best remembered today as a landscape designer\, well known for his plans for New York’s Central Park and Prospect Park\, the grounds of the U.S. Capitol in Washington\, D.C.\, and the campus of Stanford University\, among other noteworthy sites.But\, writes urban studies professor and accomplished author Witold Rybczynski\, Olmsted was an American original\, a 19th-century success story who packed many careers and wide learning and travel into a long life. He spent time in China and Europe\, managed a California gold mine\, edited The Nation\, commanded a medical unit in the Civil War\, and crisscrossed the United States many times over\, writing long reports and articles all the while. (One series of reports urged\, for instance\, that the then-remote Yosemite region of California be made a national park.) Olmsted\, Rybczynski suggests\, changed the face of America: he had a vision of the American landscape as a reflection of the national character\, with its broad vistas and open skies\, and he was concerned to make America’s urban spaces livable\, bringing “trees and greenery into the congested grid of streets.” At Olmsted’s urging\, many American and Canadian cities adopted his system of parks\, broad avenues\, and greenways\, which encouraged the appreciation and preservation of nature; his influence is felt today in the so-called urban ecology movement\, and in dozens of public spaces across the continent. \nRybczynski’s fine and illuminating biography of Olmsted shows him to have been a man of many parts\, an important historical figure whose legacy remains strong nearly a century after his death. –Gregory McNamee –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

SUMMARY:Keith Burich Book Signing: Thomas Indian School and the “Irredeemable” Children of New York
DESCRIPTION:Join us on August 24th at Skä•noñh-Great Law of Peace Center in Liverpool for a book signing with Keith Burich\, PhD.\, author of Thomas Indian School and the “Irredeemable” Children of New York in cooperation with Syracuse University Press. \nBurich is a professor of Native American history and the director of the American Indian Center at Canisius College in Buffalo. \nReviews via S.U. Press: “Burich’s exhaustive history significantly contributes to the history of settler colonial schooling by documenting a distinctively different kind of Indian School: non-federal\, state run\, horrifically committed to the idea of the ‘irredeemable’ Indian child.”—K. Tsianina Lomawaima\, professor of Indigenous education\, School of Social Transformation\, Arizona State University \n“Burich’s book fills a glaring gap in the fields of Indian education and Haudenosaunee history. It is accessible for undergraduate students and will add significantly to classroom explorations of Indian education by including state-mandated education in discussions that usually revolve around the Carlisle Industrial School and the federal system.”—Holly Rine\, associate professor of history\, Le Moyne College \n“Written by an historian who knows the craft of telling a good story\, Burich’s book offers a new interpretative angle to the growing literature on Indian boarding school studies\, and makes a wonderful contribution to the history of American Indian education.”—Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert\, associate professor of history\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign \nThomas Indian School and the “Irredeemable” Children of New York is available for sale at the Skä•noñh Center Gift Gallery. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Tuesday's on the Towpath at Onondaga Lake
DESCRIPTION:Join us on August 23rd as OHA hosts Tuesdays on the Towpath and explore Onondaga Lake’s history.\n\nThis is a free recreational guided bike ride for riders from 8-80 years old. The ride will not total more than 10 miles. Please RSVP below.\nWe will meet at the Griffin Visitor Center (106 Lake Drive\, Liverpool 13088) at 6:00 pm. All rides start and end in the same location and finish by dark. Helmets are required. Call Jon Zella (428-1864 extension 315) for more information.\n\nMore about Tuesday’s on the Towpath \nTuesday is the day to be out on the Erie Canalway Trail in the Albany and Syracuse areas\, with organized group rides in both areas providing fun introductions to social cycling. \nAcross the Canalway Trail System\, local cyclists and cycling groups use the trail for outings of varied length and intensity. Some cyclists are just out to enjoy the view\, while others are looking to burn calories or train for an event such as a century ride or self-supported bike tour. Whatever your style\, there’s plenty of room for whatever type of cycling you’d like to do on the Erie Canalway Trail – with nearly 300 miles of off-road route and a variety of trail surfaces. \nThe Tuesday events are guided rides\, generally on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. They use either the Old Erie Canal State Park section of the Erie Canalway Trail (ECT)\, on roads that follow the route of the Old Erie Canal through downtown Syracuse and the Inner Harbor\,  or on trails connected to the ECT including the Oneida Rail Trail. Most rides are between 8 and 10 miles\, with stops along the way to talk about Canal features or historic sites. The Tuesday rides attract recreational riders of all ages and abilities\, and on all types of bikes. When possible\, local museums keep special hours for rides. After the rides\, the group heads to local establishments to “test” the local food and craft beverages. \nAccording to CLCBM Executive Director Chris O’Neill\, the ride series has been a great success. She points to two main reasons: it serves the recreational rider\, an under-served market\, and provides a fun link between local cultural heritage\, outdoor recreation\, and area bike shops. Over the years\, Tuesdays on the Towpath has drawn support from Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor\, Parks & Trails New York\, Syracuse Bicycles Shop\, and Mello Velo Bike Shop. An ongoing partnership with the Erie Canal Museum provides historical credibility. Beginning in 2014\, rides became a partnership with Old Erie Canal Community Working Group (OECCWG)\, with communities and organizations alternating as hosts and guides for the weekly rides.

SUMMARY:Book Signing & Presentation: Symbols in the Wilderness - Early Masonic Survivals in Upstate New York
DESCRIPTION:Freemasonry played a vital role in the social development of New York State. Its Lodges provided a trusted place for newcomers to meet and for friendships and business partnerships to develop\, free from political\, professional\, and sectarian differences. During its explosive growth from 1790 to the end of the 1820s Masonic brethren produced iconic architecture\, as well as extraordinary examples of folk art\, expressed in large symbolic paintings (“tracing boards”)\, murals\, textiles\, and graphics. Most of these have remained entirely unknown outside the Upstate Lodges that\, against all hazards\, have preserved them. Their symbolism seems mysterious and confusing to outsiders\, but once explained\, it gives insight into a period and place unique in American history. The book was authored by Joscelyn Godwin \, Christian Goodwillie\, and Marianita Peaslee and produced by Richard W. Couper Press at Hamilton University.  \nAuthors Joscelyn and Christian will be available to sign books and will conduct a presentation at the Onondaga Historical Museum.  \nJoscelyn Godwin is professor of music at Colgate University. Christian Goodwillie is director and curator of Special Collections\, Burke Library\, Hamilton College. Marianita Peaslee is the digital imagery specialist\, Burke Library\, Hamilton College. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase at the OHA Gift Gallery the evening of the event. \n
