Trustees Discuss Chronicle Update, Parks
By SARAH ROBERTS
COOPERSTOWN
On Monday, May 19, the Cooperstown Board of Trustees discussed, among other matters, the desire of Cooperstown Central School alumnus Kristian Connolly to update “The History of Cooperstown,” currently a compilation of four histories of Cooperstown written by four different authors at four different periods—James Fenimore Cooper (1838), Samuel M. Shaw (1886), Walter R. Littell (1929) and Harold H Hollis (1976.)
It has been approximately 50 years since the last edition of the work, and Connolly seeks to create an additional compendium of local history with the support of Village Historian Will Walker, The Clark Foundation, the Village of Cooperstown, the Towns of Otsego and Middlefield, and Otsego County, among others.
