Home to a community of hardworking farmers and mill workers; the village of Delta stood along the banks of the Mohawk River until it was evacuated by the state to raise the water in the Erie Canal. Before the flooding of the river; Delta was a small country village with the same postmaster for over 30 years and families farming the same land for generations. In order to raise the water; the state approved the construction of five reservoirs across New York. The town was evacuated soon after; and the land that generations of residents toiled over now sits at the bottom of Lake Delta.

My grandfather was at the Packer Hotel fire and saved 5 people. The picture of him was not in there which was why I got the book.
