John Gearing, author of "Schenectady Genesis, Vol.2: Evolution, 1760-1798" outlines patriot and Tory family allegiances in the Mohawk Valley. Schenectady itself played a vital role as a frontier post in the quest for independence. Vale’s Revolutionary War monument will be visited. This also is a chance to ask an authority questions on the subject.
