English settlers established several towns in and on the margins<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Mohawk Valley. One such community was Cherry Valley,<br />

established in 1740. During the American Revolution Mohawk<br />

under Joseph Brandt and Butler’s Tory Rangers raided Cherry<br />

Valley in November 1778, and a second time in 1779. This photo<br />

shows Cherry Valley today, with houses dating from the early<br />

republic.<br />
