Join the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance and the French & Indian War Society at Lake George for “James Fenimore Cooper: History & Fiction in ‘The Last of the Mohicans,’” a presentation by Dr. Nick Junkerman (YUNK-er-man) – an associate professor of English Literature at Skidmore College – at The Fort William Henry Conference Center at 7:00 PM on Thursday, August 3rd.
James Fenimore Cooper’s iconic “The Last of the Mohicans” is an American classic, a beloved tale of a dashing hero, ladies in distress, and a clash of nations… But it’s a fictionalized account of the Siege of Fort William Henry. So, how close is it to the truth of what happened 266 years ago?.. Cooper’s story is one of five works of historical fiction he wrote between 1823 and 1841, collectively called “The Leatherstocking Tales”. Cooper’s heroes were Natty Bumppo (also called “Hawkeye”), born to white parents but raised among indigenous people of the Northeastern Woodlands, his foster brother Chingachgook, and his nephew Uncas.
First published in 1826, The Last of the Mohicans is a gripping tale of the bloody conflicts that roiled the Lake George Region in the middle of the 18th Century – specifically when French and indigenous forces attacked Fort William Henry in 1757, two years after its construction by the British. Dr. Junkerman’s talk explores the fateful historical events that took place in and around the fort during August 1757, and some differences in the fictional account depicted in Cooper’s novel.
“Mohicans” has been adapted into numerous film versions, most recently in 1992 with Daniel Day-Lewis as Natty Bumppo/Hawkeye… That movie was filmed in North Carolina, but there has been renewed interest in the Lake George Region, where the real-life events occurred and where the novel was set. Although the actual fort burned away in 1757, a replica was built in the 1950s where the original once stood.
“Every day, guests come to the Fort William Henry Museum who either read Cooper’s book or saw the movie,” said Kathy Flacke Muncil, CEO of Fort William Henry Corp. “Our guides separate fact from fiction so visitors leave with a better understanding of this era in history.” The French and Indian War was a complex, lengthy power struggle for control of North America.
Cooper’s depiction of the siege published nearly 70 years later was so popular, it became the most recognized event of the French and Indian War, according to Russell P. Bellico, a trustee of the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance and author of “Empires in the Mountains” and several other books on the region’s vast history: “The 1757 siege of Fort William Henry and the adjacent entrenched camp (present-day Lake George Battlefield Park), and the subsequent ‘massacre’ were indelibly etched into the psyche of American colonists through vivid contemporary newspaper accounts. Rallying provincial troops at Crown Point in 1760 on the eve of the last campaign of the war in North America, Brigadier General Timothy Ruggles called on troops to ‘Remember [Fort] William Henry… and the Massacres there!’” Bellico said.

SOUTH GLENS FALLS, NY — In order to drive growth of its global-leading Tork professional hygiene brand, Essity has made the difficult decision to close its tissue manufacturing operations in New York state and consolidate production at its other U.S. sites. This closure will include the South Glens Falls paper mill, Greenwich converting facility and Saratoga warehouse/distribution center.
“It is never easy to decide to close a manufacturing operation,” said Michael Olive, plant director for Essity’s sites in New York state. “Our operations in upstate New York have had a long, productive history and have always benefited from the extraordinary commitment of our employees. This decision is in no way a reflection on the skills, capabilities or dedication of our employees here. We are grateful for their decades of service and the support we have always received from the surrounding community.”
In recent years, Essity has launched successful, high-demand innovations under the Tork brand, such as Tork PeakServe. Essity will continue focusing on manufacturing and selling these value-adding proprietary products while sunsetting products that are not as relevant in today’s market. This action will support the growth of Tork-branded products and innovative solutions, positively impacting Essity’s ability to continually reinvest in North America.
The South Glens Falls paper mill will cease papermaking operations immediately, while the Greenwich converting facility and Saratoga Springs warehouse/distribution center will remain open and continue to operate as long as needed to ensure a smooth transition for customers. There are approximately 300 employees across the three locations. Layoffs of employees at the South Glens Falls location will begin on or around Oct. 20, 2023. Layoffs at the Greenwich and Saratoga Springs locations will begin at later dates. All employees will receive at least 90 days’ notice of the date of their layoff. In addition, Essity will provide impacted employees with a severance package and an opportunity to apply for and transfer to other Essity manufacturing facilities.
Essity remains committed to breaking barriers to well-being through its products and services, while contributing to a healthy, sustainable and circular society. Manufacturing of Essity’s health and hygiene products will continue uninterrupted at facilities in Wisconsin, Kentucky, Ohio and Alabama.

The Folklife Center located on the lower level of Crandall Library will be celebrating its 30th anniversary on Tuesday, July 25th, 2023! This free festival will take place outside of Crandall library in City Park from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and will feature live music, crafts, and specialty food.
Entering Crandall Library and walking down the stairs to the Folklife Center hooks you into the history and culture of our region instantly… The folklife gallery surrounds you with an intimate knowledge of the lives of the people who lived and worked in our communities. The gallery’s pieces harken back to a time not so long ago, and traditions both long forgotten and still engraved in our hearts and minds.
The Folklife Center was founded in 1993, as a place to catalog research culture, traditions and history in the southern Adirondacks and upper Hudson Valley. During the celebration, folk artists will be demonstrating their crafts and food traditions… There will be music all day, and hands-on activities for the entire family.
Todd DeGarmo – Founding Director for the Folklife Center – said: “It’s our 30th anniversary as a department at the library. I have been here since 1986. I started out doing projects, like festivals, quilt shows and children activities on and off through grant funding… 30 years ago the board decided that we should consolidate all of this work into a department. We had a consultant come in from RPI, and he showed us the potential of growing the collection,” Todd said.
DeGarmo is an anthropologist/ folklorist who has been the director of the Folklife Center since its inception… The center began with a part-time archivist, and has only grown from there. Currently, DeGarmo works with Amanda Franzoni, who specializes in research and special collections; Trisha Dalton, who is a historian and librarian; and Kevin Rogan, a media specialist.
In 1993, the Folklife Center took over an underutilized area in the library and created archives based on the local research, cultures, traditions, neighbors, and music… This research was consolidated and stored in the same space, and made available to the public.
A portion of DeGarmo’s work is grant writing. Through grants, the Folklife Center has been able to shine a spotlight on cultural aspects of this area… For instance, “Battenkill Inspired”, a series of mini-video documentaries that tell the story of life and work along the Battenkill River. This series examines the impact of the Battenkill River on the history, local art and activities of the region, and features grassroots history with stories of the local communities.
Currently, the Folklife Center is featuring the Champlain Canal Stories: 200 Years from Waterford to Whitehall. This series is located in the main Folklife Gallery, and will be on display until December of 2023.
“We like to sponsor a variety of events… Some big events, some more intimate. We seem to kind of fly under the radar… We have film festivals, we are starting a Ukulele Club, (and) we have the Shutter Squad,” DeGramo said. The Shutter Squad is a workshop for kids between the ages of 10 to 13… Over the course of six weeks, they learn the principles of photography.

This eatery gives patrons the opportunity to rent a table, and play with any of over 600 board games- all while offering a full menu of beer, wine and hard seltzers.
In an industrial chic setting, an exposed brick wall frames the bar, comfortably spaced wood topped tables dapple the dining area – each with plenty of space to lay out a board game – and then there is the view… A view of a wall of games!
Go Play With Your Food creates an opportunity to play a variety of over 600 games, and enjoy menu offerings and beverages. With a variety of levels, there is something for everyone-games for beginners, family- friendly games, moderate to advanced level games and games that can have up to 20 players.

Go Play with Your Food has offers a variety of meads, six beers on tap, 24 canned beers, seven canned ciders, as well as a nice mix of hard seltzers, teas, and wine by the glass… So, if CandyLand has you craving something sweet, an eight-hour Risk conquest has left you absolutely famished, or a Jenga tower gets you oddly in the mood for a club sandwich, there is an opportunity to regroup, grab another game, and fall into a world of enchantment and adventure that’s been with us since childhood… Enjoy time with family and friends in this unique board-gaming eatery!
