Description

This book is graphical history about the Watervliet Arsenal in Watervliet, NY. The book is mainly graphical (pictorial) with a minimum of narrative writing. Watervliet Arsenal is located in an area that played an important part in the birth and development of these Unites States. The Arsenal's history parallels the history of our nation and its mission, from the earliest years, helped to sustain the United States as a free and strong country. This book was donated to Beulah Whitlow by Frack Ecker who stayed at the Crockett Farm B & B . The Watervliet Arsenal is important because this is where the two 10 inch guns on display at Ft. Casey was made. On the first three pages of the book are some photos taken by Frank Ecker in September of 1989 of the two 10" disapperaing guns.
