Greetings,

I'm doing  research for a documentary script including Professor Amos
Eaton's 1826 field trip across the state on the Erie Canal. One of his
students, Asa Firch, later state entomologist, kept a journal of the
expedition, and mentions stopping on May 9th to visit the Chittenengo
Polytechnic school (apparently a grade school) run by a Mr. Yates. Can
anyone provide any details on either Yates or the school?

Hope to see some of you at Oneonta next weekend.

Thanks,

David Minor
